Episode Synopsis

Today I'm chatting with Founder of Guides for Brides and Beyond Weddings Alison Hargreaves. Having spent over 30 years in the wedding industry she started to think about how she could give back. Our industry is vastly under regulated and Alison could see the need for businesses to show couples they could be trusted.
