From the very beginning of the wedding planning process to when the bride and groom say their vows, Athena loves being there for the journey! Always remember to bring a pair of tissues because it’s an emotional ride.

Networking and building strong relationships with vendors is especially important to Athena, as so many opportunities can come out it. Be open to trying out new things, like venue open houses and other launch parties, because you never know how great it could help your career.

If your goal is to plan and design events, styled shoots are a must in order to show off what you can really do. And not to mention very fun!
