  • Meet The Wedding Pro - Dustin with BriteCo Insurance
    Jul 25 2025

    Planning a wedding? You've probably color-coordinated your decor, booked your dream venue, and chosen the perfect cake – but have you thought about protecting your investment? In this eye-opening episode, we chat with Dustin, founder of BriteCo Insurance, who reveals why wedding insurance might be the most important wedding decision you're not thinking about.

    Dustin takes us through the surprisingly affordable world of engagement ring insurance, which covers not just theft and damage, but also what he calls "mysterious disappearance" – when your precious ring simply vanishes without explanation. At just 0.5-1.5% of your ring's value annually, this protection is particularly crucial during honeymoons when water-related activities make rings especially vulnerable to loss. The claims process? Refreshingly simple with no deductibles and white-glove service to help replace your treasured piece.

    We also dive deep into wedding event coverage, exploring how liability insurance (starting at just $100) can protect couples from disasters like dance floor injuries, property damage from overzealous groomsmen, and even pet-related incidents. But what truly sets BriteCo apart is their comprehensive cancellation coverage, which uniquely includes COVID-related cancellations, vendor no-shows, severe weather events, and even their exclusive "cancel for any reason" option. From rehearsal dinners to post-wedding brunches, their policies cover the entire celebration weekend.

    The technology-driven approach BriteCo brings to insurance transforms what's typically a tedious process into a two-minute transaction, delivering peace of mind without the paperwork headaches. As wedding professionals ourselves, we were genuinely surprised by how affordable and comprehensive these protections are – making insurance not just a safety net, but a smart wedding planning investment.

    Whether you're newly engaged or weeks away from your wedding day, this conversation will help you understand how to protect both your precious jewelry and your once-in-a-lifetime celebration from unexpected disasters. Because while no one plans for things to go wrong, the wisest couples plan for how to make it right.

  • Meet The Wedding Pro - Sherry with Greenwood Springs Event Center
    Jun 16 2025

    Have you ever dreamed of a greenhouse wedding that feels like you've been transported to the English countryside, but with all the modern comforts you need? In our conversation with Sherry Durling, owner of Greenwood Springs in Joplin, Missouri, we discover how an eight-year journey running a seasonal greenhouse venue has evolved into an ambitious expansion project that wedding couples are going to love.

    Nestled in a picturesque valley with natural springs, Greenwood Springs has always offered couples a unique setting with what Sherry describes as "lush landscape views" and an old-world charm. Now, she's quadrupling the footprint of her original greenhouse, creating a glass-walled structure that preserves the outdoor aesthetic while adding climate control, updated amenities, and space for up to 250 guests.

    What makes this venue truly special goes beyond the gorgeous setting. We explore the 100-year-old stone bridal cottage where photographers capture stunning getting-ready moments, and the literal "man cave" (yes, an actual cave!) beneath it, complete with foosball, Xbox, and a neon sign that has grooms exclaiming "that's sick!" when they tour the property. Sherry's thoughtfulness extends to creating multiple outdoor conversation areas with fire pits and standing tables under wisteria, giving guests places to connect away from the music.

    The venue's proximity to Downstream Casino (just two miles away) brings additional perks, including complimentary shuttle service for wedding guests staying at the resort. This partnership creates a comprehensive wedding weekend destination with spa services, restaurants, and activities all nearby – despite feeling worlds away in the serene valley setting of Greenwood Springs.

    Ready to explore this unique blend of natural beauty and modern luxury for your wedding? Visit greenwoodspringsjoplin.com to learn more and schedule a tour of this evolving venue that promises to deliver a truly distinctive wedding experience.
