Monthly Merriment Podcast Episode 2✨

This month the gang talks about all things networking! From using social media to what our roles are within Monthly Merriment. We share how we deal with tag...

Episode 2 is LIVE! 🎉

After recording, Mike asked for a selfie… then introduced us to the term “a half.” 😂

Not a .5 selfie. Not the wide angle. A half.

So now this is officially part of our vocabulary because apparently it’s what the cool kids do these days. If you hear us asking for a half from here on out, now you know where it started.

Go watch Episode 2 now by clicking the link in our bio and let us know… do you call it a .5 or a half?

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 19th from 5:30-8:30 at

We’ve received feedback that the community would like to see us meet earlier in the week because Thursdays are busy (especially during busy season!). We also are trying a 5:30 pm start time so that you can all come straight after work. Let us know what you think about this shift!

Monthly Merriment is a fun networking gathering for wedding and event professionals. The event is free to attend and is for adults only. Please find a sitter for your kiddos and come enjoy the evening with us! Please be sure to mark yourself as “Going” in this event page so that we can be prepared for all.

Theme:
“The Brand Edit” for Wedding Pros

This month, we’re focusing on the details that shape how your business shows up - the small, intentional updates that make a real impact once the season picks up.

Expect brand-focused support, updated headshots, caffeine in hand (always essential), and simple ways to elevate the details that represent your business day to day.

Encouraged Attire:
Come dressed in your brand colors and personal style - this is your moment to show up as YOUR brand. There may or may not be a chance to step out and show it off with a bit of a runway moment.
