Bridechilla Live at The Elliot: Venue Coordinator vs. Wedding Planner

It takes a village to plan a wedding—but who does what in that village? 🤔 In this fun and candid podcast taping, host Leah Haslage of the Bridechilla podcast sits down with the owners of The Elliot and All Events Planned to unpack their unique roles, responsibilities, and how they work together to pull off the day you’ve envisioned—without the stress.

Our Guests: Stephanie Ridgely, The Elliot The Elliot is one of Cleveland’s most stunning event venues, and their in-house team helps couples bring their vision to life inside this historic, artfully restored space. Stephanie will share insider knowledge of what a venue coordinator does—and doesn’t do—when it comes to your big day.

Brandi Fisher, All Events Planned An experienced wedding planner who has worked with countless couples to navigate the logistics, design, and emotions of wedding planning. They’ll share how planners collaborate with venues, vendors, and couples to keep things running smoothly and stress-free.

Leah Haslage (Host) Leah is the award-winning host and producer of Bridechilla, a wedding planning podcast and lifestyle brand dedicated to helping couples ditch the pressure, the stress, and the endless “shoulds” of the wedding industry, and instead plan a celebration that truly reflects them.

Together, our panel will break down:

• What exactly a venue coordinator does (and where their role ends)
• The scope of a wedding planner’s services—from big picture to day-of details
• How the two work together (or step on each other’s toes!)
• Common misconceptions couples have about both roles
• Insider tips to help you decide what support you need for your wedding

Stick around after the show! There will be an audience Q&A where you can ask your burning wedding questions, plus a chance to meet Leah and our guests during a casual post-show meet & greet.

This event will give couples clarity, confidence, and the tools to ask the right questions when building their wedding dream team.
