This week, I’m excited to share this new episode of Out of the Clouds with my friend, Annie Lee. 

An entrepreneur and event planner, Annie is recognized as “The Wedding Doctor” by Refinery29, “The Party Planner” by New York Magazine, “celebrity entertaining expert” by People Magazine and Shape Magazine’s “Woman in Action – Entertaining Expert.” 

An event and wedding specialist for nearly 15 years, Annie has been an industry spokesperson for safety in events since early in the pandemic. She continues to run her own events company, Daughter of Design, while also developing a new project, Plannie, Dubbed ‘Uber for events’, she aims to open access to top event planners through the platform, in some way similar to how Uber made the luxury of a chauffeur available to many around the world. 

Already a recognizable name in her field, Annie’s breaking new norms by offering services on-demand and charging hourly rates in a notoriously money-secret industry.  

As someone who is highly sought after yet still expanding her horizons, Annie also shares with me her mindful perspective on the importance of setting healthy boundaries with clients, knowing what not to worry about in our work lives, and above all, letting go of the idea of a ‘perfect’ event. Wise, funny and insightful, this episode is a must-listen if you plan to throw a big event any time soon.

Happy listening!
