AI isn’t just helping with emails anymore—it’s reshaping the entire client experience in ways our industry is only beginning to navigate.

For our June event, we’re excited to be joined by attorney and recovering wedding planner Leah Weinberg, who will break down how AI tools like ChatGPT are showing up in real client relationships—sometimes in helpful ways, and sometimes in ways that completely blur boundaries, rewrite expectations, and challenge professional expertise.

From AI-generated contract markups to “impossible” inspiration boards, and even post-wedding legal letters drafted by bots, this conversation gets real about what’s actually happening behind the scenes—and what you should be prepared for.

You’ll walk away with practical, legally grounded strategies to protect yourself at every stage of the planning process, including:
• How to respond to AI-generated contract edits without shutting down client conversations
• Which contract provisions help protect your intellectual property and set clear AI boundaries
• How to navigate clients using AI to challenge your creative direction during planning
• What to do (and what NOT to do) if you receive an AI-drafted threatening letter after an event
• Why building a relationship with an attorney *before* you need one is a game-changer

This is one of those conversations that every creative professional in the wedding industry needs to be in the room for!

✨A Bridal Gown Handling & Alterations Etiquette Workshop for Wedding Planners✨

This is an exclusive educational event designed specifically for wedding planners who want to better support their brides when it comes to one of the most important details of the wedding day - the bridal gown.🤍

Hosted this workshop will provide planners with hands-on insight into the proper handling, transportation, and care of bridal gowns, as well as the etiquette and expectations surrounding bridal dress alterations.

During this session, bridal alteration experts will guide attendees through the alterations process, timelines brides should expect, and how planners can effectively coordinate with seamstresses and boutiques. You’ll also learn best practices for assisting brides during fittings, safely managing gowns on the wedding day, and ensuring the dress remains protected from preparation through the ceremony.

This is a great opportunity to gain valuable industry knowledge, strengthen your professional skills, and connect with fellow wedding planners in the Houston wedding community.

We look forward to welcoming you for a morning of education, networking, and collaboration within the Houston wedding industry!✨
