Episode 22 | Cheaper Than Taco Bell? The Real Cost of a Private Chef
Think a private chef is something only LeBron James can afford? Think again. 🔥Mariah puts Steve, a Colorado private chef and former CMO, in the hot seat to talk about what you’re actually paying for when you hire someone to cook your wedding, rehearsal dinner, or milestone celebration. He shares why some couples ask for a per-person price lower than his Taco Bell order, how a “$45 a head” caterer quote turned into $90 a person once the fees hit, and why his business runs on all-inclusive pricing with no surprise line items.We also get into his path from pre-med to advertising for major brands to culinary school, the Moab stargazing dinner that went sideways, the chargeback battles vendors don’t talk about, and the one type of event he won’t take anymore.No fluff. No fake Pinterest perfection. Just real talk about wedding food and what it really costs. 🍽️☎️ Got wedding tea?

Episode 20 | Avoiding Hotel Hell
Your hotel is not going to sit you down and explain all of this — but Sara will.
As a hotel group sales manager Sara is pulling back the curtain on everything couples need to know about booking wedding room blocks and it is so much more complicated than just reserving a few rooms.
There are two types of room blocks and one of them could leave you paying out of pocket for rooms your guests never showed up for. There are amenities you can negotiate but only if they are written into your contract. There are booking sites your guests will use that do not count toward your block at all. There is a check in time that is almost never negotiable no matter how early your guests arrive. And there is a shuttle conversation that every couple needs to have before their wedding day.
Sara covers all of it in Episode 20 and this is the episode we wish every engaged couple could hear before they start planning. Streaming now on Spotify & YouTube. 🏨🎙️
