ON THE PODCAST:
I'm honored to welcome back to the podcast, my friend, Megan Gillikin from A Southern Soiree and the Weddings for Real Podcast.
In this episode, Megan and I share our experiences (both good and bad) with professional development and education in the wedding industry.
We talk about what we looked for when we first got started in our businesses vs. what we look for now and what we're trying to learn to continue to grow and evolve as pros.
ABOUT MEGAN:
Gillikin is a successful Wedding and Event Planning business owner at A Southern Soiree, Consultant to fellow industry workers, Podcaster, and Mom to 3 girls under 7. Her two favorite meals are breakfast and dessert, and she loves dance parties in the living room with her husband and those 3 daughters!
Megan graduated with her hospitality degree and her MBA. After graduation, she earned her stripes in the hotel industry by working for Marriott for almost 5 years on the event operations/planning side in roles that lead her to her love of events. In 2010, Megan left the hotel world and took over ownership of an existing wedding planning company in need of re-branding to remain relevant within the industry!
After 9 years of growing A Southern Soiree, Megan has established it as one of the most sought after, highly regarded event planning companies in the Southeastern United States. She loves getting to know the inner workings of people’s personalities…so much so that she started a wedding industry podcast called Weddings For Real in 2018! That led to another passion, which is consulting with other industry vendors on growing their businesses purposefully!
Megan has a love for providing real, insightful and tangible advice and wisdom on growing and sustaining a successful event business! If you’re Myers-Briggs fans she’s an ENFJ, and a solid 3 on the Enneagram. She’s ambitious, adaptable and enthusiastic and her love for this industry is contagious!
