Have you started talking about the M word? M=Money which requires knowledge and awareness to achieve important financial goals as you start your new family together.  Judith Rosenthal, Senior Financial Advisor with Ameriprise Financial, provides professional financial planning services for every stage of life so you are better prepared to pursue your dreams with confidence.  Judi offers valuable information and recommendations that every couple should hear before they get married. 

Do you have a vision for your future together?   What is your money culture?  Should newlyweds completely merge their finances or should they keep separate accounts?  How important is it to discuss risk tolerance with your spouse to be?  When should a couple start to look for professional assistance with regard to money matters?

It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of wedding planning and you might not want to see the big picture before you tie the knot. Have you considered the long term positive impact if you spend less money on the wedding?  Inevitably, couples are going to argue from time to time on money issues.  What are some things they can do to resolve those disagreements?  Judi has some terrific suggestions that will help alleviate some stress and anxiety when blending finances.

Unique in the industry is Ameriprise Financial’s Dream Book guide.  It’s an amazing personal journal to record your priorities, goals and plans so you can have better perspective on where you are going. This important podcast gives you something essential to think about that can ultimately make your dreams a reality.

Where: New York Showroom Classic Party Rentals where “Every Event is a Big Event�

Friend and colleague Nancy Swiezy invited us to a special industry event and we want you to be part of the excitement and get inspired with information from pros that have a pulse in the party business. Robert Allen, Executive Producer, takes us behind the scenes at the Classic Party Rentals NYC launch party with top chefs, caterers, & floral décor and event designers. With more than 25 years of experience, Classic Party Rentals is the nation’s leading full service event rental company.

Good-bye cookie cutter décor. Michael Miner, VP Marketing Classic Party Rentals, talks about his philosophy in the world of events and what brides have available to make their occasion great. Then Robert spoke with leading entertaining expert David Tutera. David tells us about his Enchanted Garden table – its color, texture, personality. David says a wedding has to tell a story with the elements of your wedding. Listen and learn about eclectic looks and David’s favorite color trend.

Tess Casey of Aisling Studio’s, designed three tables at the event, and talks about the fabrics, color palette and details that feature different themes, unusual elements, and accent ideas. Do you want an element of surprise? Are you trying to be a little green? PLUS Insider Scoop: Tess specializes in camera-ready flowers and works closely with Creative and Art Directors for film and television. She recently worked on the wedding scenes in the Sex and the City movie. She designed the wedding bouquet for Carrie. What flowers did she use? Want to find out the designer of the gown SJP wore? What should a couple know when starting their search for a floral designer? Tess gives her expert advice.

What’s the new white? Ed Libby, award winning event designer, presented two tables. The Bling table has sparkle! He has designed for celebrity clients including Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Robert DeNiro, Usher, and Diddy. Ed’s best advice: Marry a couples’ design fantasy with professional expertise so it’s a fun process.

Food is an element of décor and something to talk about. Chefs created culinary delights enjoyed by invited guests. Since founding Thomas Preti Caterers, Inc. over 20 years ago, Chef Thomas Preti has orchestrated thousands of events. Local, organic food is becoming part of the menu today. Current wedding trends in food are discussed with Kelven Book of Canard Inc. Recognizable foods with a twist are starting to be prepared to make it more special, surprising and appetizing. Signature cocktails are here to stay. Interactive food at weddings and social events is a winner. Olivier Cheng created a tasting plate of savory and sweet fois gras, a naked salmon station, and a liquid nitrogen station – cool idea! Are people harder to impress today? Does Olivier welcome the creative challenge? Are you thinking of a cocktail reception only? Olivier tells us that food can evolve at a party.

We end the podcast with Roberta Karsch of Resource One Inc., a custom designed table linen rental company. Learn about unusual objects that were used to bring the element of the unexpected to the party.

Samantha Goldberg, event coordinator and designer of Gold Events & Co., has coordinated hundreds of weddings and other elaborate affairs in her 15 years in the event industry.  She is currently one of the featured wedding planners on the hit television series “Whose Wedding Is It Anywayâ€? on the Style Network.  Samantha has also been on CN-8, NBC-5 and Geraldo at Large.  Her work and advice has been featured in Bridal Guide, Modern Bride, NJ Bride, NY Daily News, Courier News, Good Life, Suburban Style, Associated Press and other local and regional media. 

Samantha wants you to have the best wedding planning experience possible and shares insider tips and advice you will want to hear.

Samantha’s forte is working with Brides on a Budget.  Do you have to spend a quarter of a million dollars to have a fabulous wedding?  NO!  What are your needs and wants?  What are some great ways to save?  What are some hidden costs?  Is everything really negotiable?  How can a wedding planner be afforded even by the bride on a budget?  Samantha discusses great ways to spend wisely. 

What is the real role of a wedding planner?  How can you utilize a planner efficiently?  What is your wedding blueprint?  Do you expect your wedding to be “perfectâ€??  What’s the grand reveal?  What do you want people to remember at your wedding?  How many favors and programs are left behind?  Charities in lieu of favors?  Samantha will help couples understand how to make educated choices and decisions for your wedding.

The Style Network's Whose Wedding Is It Anyway is the #1 wedding show in the USA and watched all over the world.   What does the word Bridezilla really mean?  Groomzilla?  How does it occur?  What really happens behind the scenes?  How close to reality is what you are watching on the show?  Hear fascinating information about the entertaining reality television series from someone that really knows.

 Samantha shares creative new areas to register to help the bride and groom get the wedding of their dreams.  Ever think about registering with your photographer?, your videographer?, your bank to create your new home down payment fund?  Excellent recommendations on how to ask for money, give your guests options and get what you really want.

Are there ways to keep sane?  Do you want to focus on everything that can go wrong or are you able to relinquish control and enjoy the special day of love?  Samantha counsels to enjoy the day regardless of what happens.

This special edition of Meet the Masters could very well change the way couples planning their wedding think about how to best document it forever.  Event DV Magazine is the leading publication for the wedding videography industry.  For the second year in a row it has named the top 25 videographers working today.  I was thrilled to have been named to this distinguished list twice.

I invited the 24 others named to this list to get together (virtually) to share over 200 years of combined experience in weddings.  I was lucky to have the opportunity to interview 14 of the 24 in an unprecedented call in show.

Wedding videographers have a very unique perspective on weddings and are some of the best experts in the wedding planning process.  Listen in as these wedding professionals share their video expertise as well as their best wedding planning advice.  This show is truly groundbreaking.  You might want to listen twice.

Osnat Gad has been a renowned leader in the design, manufacture, and sale of wedding rings for more than 25 years.  She wrote a wonderful book called Wedding Rings where history and romance comes together.  Osnat tells us how she got interested in jewelry design and shares her personal design philosophy about the perfect symbol of eternal love.  The precious circle signifies love has no beginning and no end.  The ring symbolizes unity and your commitment to marriage.

Find out where the first known exchange of rings as objects of love took place.  We discuss the evolution of the wedding ring and how this tradition got started.  Are wedding rings viewed differently today?  Listen and find out.

Every culture interprets the placement of the ring in its own way.  One longstanding tradition is that the wedding ring is worn on the third finger of the left hand.  Hear more about this custom here and around the world.

Osnat discusses different metal and stone options.  We find out more about gold and platinum.  We ask Osnat when diamonds came into style as bridal jewelry.  Learn more about yellow diamonds, a personal favorite of Osnat's.

This is an important time for communication.  Osnat recommends how couples should shop for engagement and wedding rings.  The guy isn't sure what you really want yet wants to please.  Is it okay to tell your boyfriend what you like and don't like?

Osnat shares great ideas how to adorn your personal style.  Do you want to engrave your ring with a name, a special date, a pet name or private message?  Have you considered stackable rings?  Ever hear about a torture ring?  What better way to celebrate your continuing commitment you have to one another than with an anniversary ring?

You will want to make sure your rings fit for a lifetime.  Be realistic.  Osnat tells us that your finger size may change and the possibility of re-sizing.  How should you clean your rings?  What if a diamond is loose?  Osnat has great practical advice.

Osnat's best expert advice: Hear each other.  Learn to share.  Wedding rings are the most personal gifts between two people in love.
