One of the things we enjoy about what we do is the chance to chat to other wedding professionals and listen to their experiences. As part of Academy LIVE we host a the Business of Weddings Podcast where we get up close and personal with the movers and shakers for the wedding industry. In this episode I was lucky enough to spend a great half hour with Wendy Dahl of Chic Productions. Wendy has worked with couples from around the globe to create unique celebratory experiences that fit each couple perfectly. She has successfully turned the wedding visions of her clients into realities at some of the most exquisite venues in Southern California.
