This week’s episode of the This Week in Weddings podcast is focused on mentorship. As your business grows, having a mentor to bounce ideas off of, guide you as your business needs change, and even to help you avoid mistakes is incredibly helpful.
In this episode of the podcast, we’re talking with event planner and designer Emily Clarke, owner and creative director of Emily Clarke Events, who opens up about her experiences with mentors. In fact, her current mentor in the wedding industry she credits with changing her business for the better. This episode is perfect for anyone in the wedding industry that is stuck in their business and no longer wanting to go it alone.
About our guest:
On any given day she could be found drawing inspiration for her designs from a vast array of sources: the pink of flamingos or the intricacies of palm fronds, classical paintings or modern-day garden sculptures, ornamented ceiling tiles, or delicate pieces of jewelry. When she’s not on the job, you’ll find her at home or on-the-go with her husband, Walter, and two daughters, Lincoln and Mae Margaret.
In this episode, listeners will hear about:
- Emily’s background and her mentor prior to opening her business
- Emily’s thoughts about being a “lone wolf” prior to finding a mentor

Most relatable podcast for me so far! All great topics each week, but I love the realization that we have such similar struggles, or point-blank there will be struggle, and we lean on those that support us as we find our way to our unique successes. Mentorships are worth their weight in gold, and I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. Great topic ladies!
So glad you loved this episode! Thanks for being such a loyal listener, Ashlee!
