Everything Is Shiny - Where AI Helps and What You Can Skip

Brandy Blackford Headshot

Brandy Blackford has been planning weddings for 17 years and is the new owner of Refine for Wedding Planners, a platform built to help wedding pros run smarter, more sustainable businesses.

Brandy has been part of the Refine community since 2016 - first as a Refine Portal beta designer and workshop teacher, and now as owner. She's a logistics lover at heart and genuinely gets excited about a well-built system.

When she's not deep in spreadsheets or planning timelines, you'll find her urban homesteading, reading up to three books at a time (currently counting down to the next ACOTAR release), or deciding if it's a moscato night or a chai morning. She and her husband Steven have five kiddos, three of whom she homeschools, and somehow also finds time to serve as a fundraising chair for a nonprofit dance theater, advocate for ESA access, and wrangle a rescue husky, three cats, and five chickens -- because apparently she thrives in organized chaos.
