Tired of drowning in email chains with your wedding planner? Or buried in a 51-tab spreadsheet just trying to keep your wedding straight? Keep reading — there's a new tool built to fix that, for couples and planners alike.

In this episode of Weddings Unscripted, Alex and Ali sit down with Hannah Roze, founder and CEO of Plannerd, a wedding planning platform born out of her own frustrating wedding planning journey. Hannah walks through how Plannerd blends structure with flexibility for both couples and wedding professionals, why she built it, and the differences between Gen Z & Millennial couples in researching and booking vendors. They also touched on where AI genuinely helps in the planning process, what's coming next on her app, and why building wedding tech "in the open" alongside real planners matters.

Whether you're a couple planning a wedding, an aspiring wedding planner, or a vendor trying to connect with a new generation of clients, this episode is full of practical wedding planning tips and an honest look at how the industry is changing.

Key Takeaways Gen Z couples research for months before ever reaching out — so vendors have to lead with transparency. Hidden costs are what blow up a wedding budget. AI is a helpful assistant for wedding admin, but a risky source for budget advice.   Chapter 00:00 — Welcome to Weddings Unscripted
