We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Amber Huber a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Amber, thanks for joining us today. What do you think it takes to be successful?

As a small wedding planning business, we’ve always believed that success comes from consistently showing up for our clients in meaningful ways. It begins with responding to inquiries within 48 business hours, because timeliness shows we value a person’s time and interest. While working through an inquiry, we listen closely for key words and clues that reveal a couple’s true priorities. Brides may not always have the exact words to describe their vision, so asking the right questions helps us uncover what they really want. From there, we can craft thoughtful, tailored suggestions that feel just right for them.

Continuing to listen once we begin working together we build trust by delivering on our promises it is the foundation our of business. Open communication then ties it all together, keeping our team, vendors, newlyweds, family, and guests aligned and informed every step of the way. Clear expectations and honest dialogue create a seamless experience for everyone involved.

We do have lots of stories we can share to pull these points together.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Amber Huber, Owner and Certified Wedding Planner
Have 30 years of planning sales events and community engagement within the retail management industry.

While raising my children I discovered a love of themed birthday parties. When my baby brother came back from serving in Iraq, he surprised everyone with a 30-day notice that he was getting married and a new passion for planning weddings was born.
I have casually planned events big and small for family/friends, but over the years it became apparent there was a real need in the area (state) for event/wedding planning services and in 2021 Enchanted Events began.

Any advice for managing a team?

Behind every successful business—whether it’s a wedding planning company, event service, or any other client-focused industry—there’s a team that feels supported, valued, and motivated. Managing a team effectively isn’t just about assigning tasks; it’s about creating an environment where people can learn, grow, and thrive.

We begin with thorough training, because it’s about far more than simply showing someone *how* to do a job. It’s about equipping them with real-world examples, encouraging resourcefulness, drawing on life experiences, and working within their unique skill set to deliver the best results. Our training goes beyond technical skills to cover communication, problem-solving, and customer service standards. When team members know exactly what’s expected and have the tools to succeed, they’re prepared to meet challenges with confidence.

Mentorship is another key part of our approach. Pairing newer or less experienced team members with seasoned staff gives them a safe space to learn how to handle the unexpected, gain insider tips, and feel supported from day one. This one-on-one guidance not only builds competence but also fosters trust, connection, and a strong sense of belonging within the team.

While excellence is always our goal, we believe growth comes from allowing individual strengths to shine and creating space for experience—which often includes a few mistakes. Rather than discouraging errors, we encourage open discussion, helping our team analyze what happened, share takeaways, and work together to find solutions. This builds a culture of problem-solving rather than blame.

Finally, flexibility is one of the most valuable ways we support our team. As a wedding planning company, we understand that life doesn’t always fit neatly into a calendar. Whenever possible, we adjust schedules to accommodate personal commitments, showing trust and respect for our team’s well-being. This flexibility strengthens loyalty, boosts morale, and helps our team bring their best selves to every event.
