Luxury wedding planners have it all, right? And with so many high-end weddings, they have to be making high payouts too, right? 

Well, not always. This is the story of Gabrielle Pinkerton, and how she ran her business $7,000 in the red. And it’s a valuable listen for anyone who wants to avoid costly mistakes as they grow their wedding business.
