leorah_2_10-30-2025_173326: [00:00:00] Here we go. This is episode six of It's just my face.
I'm Leorah and Im Adrienne. . We are so thrilled today because we are here with , our dear friend Payton, who is joining us as our guest. And, you know, event season is winding down. Hopefully you're done by now. And we just need to have a little fun and we know what we're really good at.
Talking. Talking shit. Talking some shit. I think I'm gonna throw it in. I Right in. Welcome to the show. Listen, who's there? We're so excited. Thanks for coming and joining us today. Of course, course. Thanks for having me.
We thought that this would be the perfect guest for us for this fun episode to just let back, have a couple glasses of wine and talk about,, would you rather, would you rather,, so this is the first in a series. Woo-hoo. Called Would You Rather? So the idea is that you guys play along answer the questions, have some fun.
And we're excited to have [00:01:00] Peyton as our first guest. Yes. Um, would you rather? Let's do it.
Entry song Do, do. Welcome to, it's just My Face with Adrian and Leora. It's just my face is the after party where event pros get real about the work, the wins, and the what the fuck moments We're gonna be mixing stories, strategies, and yes, some rants. But we're here to help you grow your business, lead your team, and keep your sanity in this chaotic world we call the event industry.
All right, let's talk about Peyton here for a hot second. Yes. Let's talk about Ms. Peyton. Okay. So Peyton has a company called Promise Event Planners, for those of you who have been under a rock. Right. So, uh, and she'll tell us a little bit about herself in a hot second here. And instead of reading a bio, I actually wanted to read feedback from an actual client from an actual review that was only posted like 20 days ago. Even through frustrations with the venue, she stayed calm, keeping it together, helping us stay focused. She'll be honest with you, if you want her to be, which feels like it can be hard in the [00:02:00] wedding world when money is being thrown around so many different directions.
She makes you feel comfortable and confident. That you're making the right decisions all while staying realistic. Like, holy shit, Peyton. , So we all know that Peyton's really good at her job. Yeah. But she's also super duper funny. Yeah. That's why we had to have her on the show. No pressure. No pressure at all.
No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not concerned. I just love that you guys literally were combing through all of. The Colorado wedding industry, and they were like, who's gonna be the biggest bitch? Yeah. You selected me to be the honor of being the biggest bitch.
No, I'm cheers to that. I'm not a bitch, I'm just honest. Yeah. But thanks for having me. This is so fun. We're so excited you're here. So excited. And no, you're not a bitch. You are, , larger than life. You're energetic, you're exciting, you're sass, you're, no, everything that I think. This industry should be about right.
Uhhuh, about being, doing your own business, doing your own thing, but doing it unique to you and how you [00:03:00] wanna do it and how, what you wanna put out there. Yeah. Like her branding photos, have her eating sushi for fuck's sake. Like, you know, like that's for sure. You know, you're doing things the way you want.
We were happy, which I should be secretly, and I said we, but Adrian was really hoping that you might bring her an apron to put on. Oh, I have one in the car. I might need to do that. Maybe we might to photos. You might need to do that. Some photos because the ap, I love the apron. My signature so much. Yeah. well, it's hard when you have to wear a dress. To all your events and you need to store shit. Your pockets pocket. So you, you make pockets with the ap, you don't have any pockets. That's great. Yeah. I love it. . So we're gonna have some fun today.
All right, so let's kick it off with our first. Would you rather, would you rather deal with a maid of honor or a mother of the bride? Hmm. That's a hard one. It's like, it's usually the mothers of the bride are incredibly invested. Financially and emotionally. Yeah. So a lot of the times you have to be a lot nicer [00:04:00] to the mothers of the bride.
That's true. Sure. They are true. I don't know the maids of honor, they, I don't, it's so hard because everybody thinks it's their wedding instead of the actual bride's wedding. Sure. So it's very hard to pick who I would rather deal with. Have you had to check a maid of honor? I've had to check so many people from all sides.
Yeah. And just be like, Hey, I've literally had to say several times, like unfortunately your daughter, or your sister, whoever is my client and you are not my client. And so this is what she really wants and this isn't what you want, but this is what she wants. And I have to do that. So I have to check people all the time.
But I'd probably say dealing with a maid of honor is better than a mother of the bride. Yeah. I don't know. I had a recent situation with some maids of honor co of honor. Ah, they gang up on you? No, no. They both, they fought with each other. No, they both sucked. [00:05:00] So, okay. So. I don't know if like, maybe they didn't understand the expectation of what was required of them.
Right. But the bride is off in some field doing photos. I'm getting ready for reception, like running around doing a hundred different things and , I need somebody to help with bride with her dress or flowers. I'm like, where are these fucking girls? Yeah, where did they go? And I go into the brides getting ready room and they're in there.
Legit, like FaceTiming making videos in that room, just the two of 'em. And I'm like, can you go get the fuck out there and help your girl? Fuck your girl. That's literally whole job. And they looked at me, they looked at me like I was crazy and I'm like, no, no. I need you to go help her with her dress.
Go help her with her shit. So you don't care for a reason. Right. And I'm not your teacher. Like, what the fuck I was, I was you. To literally wrap them up. I did, but I was just like, that was nuts. And I feel like I've had to. Really bad mothers of the brides, but I've had some amazing ones too. Oh, I've had so many amazing ones for sure.
No, I, I would say think some that love me more than the brides. Sometimes the moms [00:06:00] love me more, brides sometimes, so I got, I feel like this is gonna come up over and over again as we go through the game. Sure. But this is part of the reason that I like being at the front end of sales because like, I never meet a maid of honor when I'm selling venues when I'm selling.
Catering like there is. Mm-hmm. It's a limited exposure, which is good for me because God knows nobody wants me to be overexposed in a situation. That's hilarious. , Okay. What's the next one? This was a fun one.
Would you rather have a vendor show up high? Oh, or not at all? Hmm. Honestly, show up high. Show up high, because I will dictate that situation and figure it out. I, if it's a dj, hey, seems like I'm learning how to DJ today. Yeah, yeah. Because I'll be wiki, wiki one too. I will figure something out in a way for me to make sure that this happens.
But like, yeah, you gotta show up. You gotta show up high [00:07:00] drunk something, not something, then we can mitigate the situation. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm, I'm happy to babysit. If they're like, you know, if I have to, the bride's cousin, and it always does. Bob twice removed. Always. Who's the photographer? Oh, that's the best.
Yeah, that's the best. I had a band one time that showed up hours late and drunk. That was really fun. I'm sure they, that was a good one. I'm sure they put on a quite a show. Oh, it was, it was a great tragedy. That's one of my very bad stories. But overall, I had a, I had a, I was just glad that they showed up because I was literally running music from my cell phone.
That's 'cause they weren't there. So I'm, oh my God. So as long as you show up, just please show up. Show up, show up. I had fire drunk or not a photographer. And I'll say the venue. 'cause I think that it'll trigger some of the vendors who listened to, remember it was a crooked Willow. Oh yeah, yeah.
Photographer. Nowhere to be found, missed their start time. We're calling him, we're [00:08:00] texting him like all the above. And then he finally, I think, responds to the groom saying like, I'm so sorry. Like I'm on my way. Homey. Shows up like 15 minutes before ceremony. Oh my god. High as shit. And he just walks over to me.
He's like, Adrian. I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened. I thought the wedding was tomorrow. Oh, I'm not gonna lie. I'm really high. He's like, but I'm gonna pull my shit together. What kind of high? High as fuck. Okay. Like I don't know how he got there, like, but no second shooter, nowhere to be found. He just showed up.
Bring a camera. He had his camera. That's good. We got him a cup of coffee. Um, and honestly he fairly pulled his life together and he was just like, this has never happened, but I was like, literally, you almost showed up and you're high. Yeah, I was high when I thought that the wedding was on Sunday.
Yeah. So you were taking the day off, thought you were having a nice time. Meanwhile, we're a leisurely hour and then you get a text from unknown [00:09:00] numbers being like, where the fuck are you? It's been high for a few days to not realize that it's wedding season. I have a wedding, wedding day. Yeah. Drunk, uh, high or not at all?
Leora high. Yeah, for sure. For all the same reasons. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Would you rather have a photographer who's late for all the key moments? Or a DJ who ignores the playlist and just plays terrible shit like the chicken dance and just awful crap all night.
Bad dj. Bad dj or bad photographer. Bad dj. Mm-hmm. Why? Because there's less at stake and then at least there's a funny story. That's fair. Yeah. I think so too. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I think, yeah. And there's time to like cut in and like change things of course. And like depending on the vibe of who your guests are.
Yeah. Like if you have like a fun group. You'll make the chicken dance work. Yeah. You, I like, yeah, it'd be hilarious. Everybody be filming it. Yeah. It would be so go viral and it would be like, be like, yeah, our [00:10:00] DJ fucking sucked and so we did this. Yeah. So that could work. But I once had a photographer miss the kiss
and spent I think over eight hours editing it, trying to edit it. This was like in 20. 16 too. So it was like not like we can't AI this to like make them time. Yeah. Yeah. He spent eight hours. Hmm. Putting their faces together. 'cause when you do like a burst Yeah. Like you can, the burst stops right at one point.
So the burst stopped before their, before mouths were touching and so Yeah. But it, they still don't know to this day that that happened. Oh, oh my God. Oh God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Good for them. I know for a fact. But they have that photo. Hung in their account. Yes, yes. I photographer like worth all the work.
Them fucking that up and missing it. Like, oh yeah. Will it for them? Need it? Oh, have to figure it out. You know. Best photographer [00:11:00] ever while being the worst photographer ever. All the above, but yeah, the photographers that they can't miss, you know? Yeah. They can't, the pressure's too high and we, they get paid so much money to capture the moments.
I feel like if I were a photographer, as that moment is coming, I'd probably be having heart help. No, and that's why so many people, so many generalized photographers are not wedding photographers because , if you miss something, it's not like shooting a flower in a field. If you miss the kiss, you're, yeah, you're done.
I like this question a lot. , Would you rather plan a wedding in three months or three years? So curious how you feel about this statement.
I know how it's so hard. I would say three years. I am shocked 'cause I've done it because I've done it in the COVID times. Because if you have to do it in three months, the amount of people that I would have to reach out to in order to find somebody that's possibly available to do to in all vendor categories yeah, would kill me.[00:12:00]
But I've done it in like the COVID times. I definitely had a bride for three years. Yeah. And it was fine 'cause like they were chilling. So I was chilling 'cause they had already done it. You know, like everything can be so spread out. Yeah. I it's not great money wise. 'cause then you're literally working with people for so long, for the expected, what you thought was the expected time of like a year-ish.
Yeah. So you're not making good money doing it. But I think it, like stress wise is better for everyone, including me. I hear that, but I don't know. It seems like, I know most people would agree, disagree with me about all that. It's too much. Like I don't No, it's awful. I would never, I don't wanna ever do it.
You're outta 10. Do not recommend. No, I'm thinking about it to like the perfect time. Nine months to 12 months. That's perfect. I need to be in somebody's life. That's not the game. Mm-hmm. And three years during COVID time was a special situation. It was. And we were all more understanding of it. So I'm thinking about it now [00:13:00] as, yeah, as like a real option where there's not, we don't need that space or that grace for that kind of thing.
And I. Would hate my people. I would, well, no, I would kill them by the end. And I don't know that my co like even as a vendor to be pulled in and be like, I don't know, in three years subject, their design, their full design are gonna change in the way trends are going, pricing is gonna change.
I remember years ago, remember the big 10 years ago, 11 years ago, the big flood in Boulder? Mm-hmm. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. When all those weddings were displaced. Yeah. We had to like scramble to get them replaced.
Mm-hmm. At the same day or the same time, just somewhere else. Yeah. So crazy. But we pulled together and we got 'em done. Like that was kind of cool. But. To plan in such a short time when there's not an emergency government situation. Yeah, I dunno. Government dunno. Updated. Yeah, it's a hard one. I'd love to hear from the planners on this one.
We should post it and see their [00:14:00] feedback. 'cause I would much rather prefer the three months I think, in any scenario. I think that, number one, I don't wanna talk to anybody for three years except you guys. No, that's absolutely fair. Um, yeah, but. I don't really wanna do that. Yeah. So much is gonna change.
They're gonna change their minds, I feel like. For sure. So many times. So many times. Yeah. They're gonna end up planning it in the last three months anyway. Plus not to be, not to be the Debbie Downer, but are they still gonna wanna get married? Hey. And that's another thing like that is also like, I mean, I hate to say this, but I keep positive.
You get married or not? No. You should as you should. It's happened to me so many, I've probably had four or five couples break up with my 10 years of business. Yeah, it, it happened. We almost had one in the last couple months that they thought, well, maybe we'll cancel. I think we're breaking up. Well, no, maybe we'll postpone.
Oh. And they started asking all the vendors like, what can we do? And everyone was like, you pay wedding is in In three [00:15:00] weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. It's always last minute. Nevermind. We're not gonna postpone. We're just gonna do it. And then the wedding, oh no. Date was the other week and they almost didn't go through with it.
Sure. And then they did, and it's like, God, those guys are gonna be divorced at. Like, oh, that's brutal. Yeah, they're, yeah. It's not gonna work. You hate to see it. Yeah. Do you think that you can tell Yes. Which couples are gonna make Yes. Every day. Every day. I feel like every single time. I know every event.
Like and I have been right so many times, yes. It's a game. We've talked about this. It's a game I feel like I play all the time. It's very fast. I give them, oh yeah, my year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or it's just a vibe, you know? Yeah. It's just a look. It's an exchange. Oh yeah. It's something that somebody says and then you see a look and you're like, Hmm, that's not great.
That's not great. It's a broom that shows up to is tasting, hungover, and throwing up, and you're like, thanks for showing up today. Yeah. Good to see you bud. You're like, and you're so nice. Like, what are you doing to the girl? Yeah. You're [00:16:00] such a nice girl. You're such a nice girl. Whatcha doing? It happened.
It happened. Yeah. It could be like that sometimes, you know? It does. Yeah, the nature of it. But yes, I think if we were bet betting people, we would bet on ourselves on these for sure. Because I think we're right. I think we're right most of the time. Now this is a, would you rather, that's near and dear to my heart. Oh God. Mainly for how I feel about it. But would you rather have a bridal party of 22? Or a wedding that had like 25 kids under the age of five. Oh, so ginormous bridal party. Oh, or a butt ton of kids. Oh God.
Oh me. Can I say neither? I mean, I know they both suck, but you gotta pick one. Oh, well I, I've been very vocal about this online, but I don't believe that kids belong at weddings. Okay. I know you have. I do not think the kids should be at a wedding. I think it ruins everything. I think I have a kid and I agree.
See, and thank you for saying that because you know, I lost a lot of [00:17:00] people when I. Started saying that, but I seriously do agree. I think it's an adult event. Yes, there's too much alcohol. There's also very like lovely moments that are gonna be captured forever. And I've been to so many weddings where there's a kid trying to butt in on the, on the first dance.
Yeah. Or like laying down somewhere that they're not supposed to be, or car or SW on a hill. Oh my God. Behind the first dance. That's my favorite, right? They're like doing flip shit. It's like, no, no, you sweet. 5-year-old. Let's make it about you as the, , non-parent and the one who really doesn't love kids.
I'm, I'm say though, well, he's here now too. Non only one non-parents, no children. But I will just say there's something to be said for the cute kid moments, of course, during the ceremony. Genuine and sweet. Yeah. Love those. And then bedtime please. Absolutely. At 6:00 PM Yes. Yeah. Yeah. They need to be shipped off after six, but also,
I would love to have a sitter. Yes. I wanna have a night out. Please. Like I do. I wanna get all dressed up. , I don't get that we have been invited to weddings [00:18:00] since we've had Harper and we don't bring her. Yeah. Even if we can, we don't.
Yeah. Yeah. We're like, Hey, Grammy going to a wedding. No way. That's an important piece because it's, and I don't think it's because you're in the industry, there's a certain . Social filter boundary thing that exists just with people in the world in general, where just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Totally. And to have the for I'd be like, oh, it doesn't say that it's adults only. I'm still not going to bring my child. Versus the couple they're like, oh, good, we can bring our. Hoard of children to this thing, hoard of children. I mean, because they have it. I know. Sure. Yeah. And, and of course like, yes, childcare is a burden and I understand that.
Yes, of course. But like, you don't have to come to the wedding either as much as we'd love to have you. Yeah. , I don't wanna go to summer camp. I wanna go a wedding. I don't, I don't. I don't at all. I wanna like get drunk and answer around And again, again, it's expensive. Yeah. Like totally. And then also from the vendor perspective, especially on the venue and the [00:19:00] catering side, and the planner, we're accommodating for the children.
Oh yeah. Like how much is that dilute your fucking budget? Oh, of course. Yeah. Stupid kids meals and they kids meals, they all have to have fun little kid packets or like little activity. Now that's a new thing That's called a tablet. Bring your own tablet. See, and that I would approve of, but they're all like, you know, tablets at the wedding.
So then they have coloring books and crayons and like you can hire this babysitter who will be in the hotel room. Absolutely. 2 0 4. No, and I love that. Send, send a great vendor. I love that. That's been way more of that. I love that. I love it. That's the answer. That is the answer. But I have to, I have to say that I also, for this question between the large bridal party Oh yeah.
And lots of kids, I also have, yeah, sorry, we just went on a kid passionate about the No, you're passionate about the no kids. But I also have an extreme hatred.
Extreme hatred for large bridal parties. Okay, I agree. But again, let me go ahead and judge you, or not you, but the couple or the bride. My damn [00:20:00] who needs to have 22 fucking people like come your tits. Like what the fuck? You don't have that many friends. They're not gonna be friends with you in another year.
Like I understand that you're 22 and you just graduated from your sorority and that's so cute. But like, choose. Choose three. I agree. The odds of you guys all being connected in 10 years is very low. No. Or non-existent. I'm taking huge offense to that. As a former sorority girl, you can, I was a sorority girl, but you agree with me.
I'm totally kidding. No, no, no. I think it's incredibly unnecessary, but also , just because you were in someone's wedding doesn't mean you have to involve. No, just because you were in their wedding, doesn't mean they need to be in yours.
Hundred percent. Keep it small, baby. Come on. Make it, it kills me. Make it about you. But yeah, I, and but then also they choose their venue in their ceremony site without even thinking about how they're going to get 44 people up alongside them. Oh yeah. It's not a lot. And also, how unfair is that to your [00:21:00] partner?
Right. Then they gotta find 44 their friends or like 22. Yeah, 22 in their friends. That's what we 44. Yeah, that's big. And I would love to say like, oh, don't worry. Podcast listeners. We're exaggerating that number. We're not. We're not. No. This is for real.
Yeah. I've had processionals that I've lost in 15 fucking minutes. Absolutely. So that's how we wanna spend our time without a cocktail at the beginning. I feel like I also need to psychoanalyze this a little bit.
Like what is it? That drives you to feel like you need to have 22 people up there. Do you feel like it proves that you are a loved person? If you have 22 people who want to stand up next to you, I think that's, or is it? Like, what hole is that filling in your life? There's some therapy in there that's probably required to identify why you need 22 bridesmaids with you.
What is that about? Let's, let's unpack this a little bit. There's, there's something there. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm not positive of what it's, I don't know. I'm not a life. And psychologists, but like I did, [00:22:00] unfortunately, I did go to school for psychology. You didn't? Yeah, I did. That was what I, another person got my degree in another person that doesn't work in their field.
Welcome to the, no, no. My mom says over and over again. She was like. I know you don't work in psychology, but you do every day. You do. Yeah. It's a study in human behavior. Human behavior, psychology of families, psychology of relationships.
I'm, I'm making, due on my degree every single day outside. I, , my first job in weddings, my boss almost got me a reprinted. . Business card because I had a series of couples that almost canceled because they were breaking up. Oh. And I felt like I was talking them through it. And so she almost reprinted my business card to say, Leora Young.
Marriage counselors, Hey, somebody's gotta do it because someone don't wanna pay for it. Yeah. So that's true. And I just didn't wanna lose the business, so I was trying to convince them to stay together. Oh my. Oh shit. [00:23:00] And that's the reality of the situation to business. Viewer's got goals to reach, don't get in the way of meeting my bonus checks that bonus check.
I'm gonna make my numbers bitch one way or the, that's right. Way or. Oh my gosh. Okay, this next one is about picking how you prefer, I guess you could say your drama. Oh God. So would you rather deal with a celebrity influencer? That's fucking nuts. Bridezilla for sure. Total psycho or a very pleasant couple.
But they have extreme family drama. IE my parents can't be in the same room at the same time. They have to sit at opposite sides of the room and they can't see each other and dah, dah, dah, dah. 'cause the divorce was disgusting. Paint whatever picture you want. So again, celebrity influencer, bride, zilla, or major family drama.
What would you pick, Peyton? I do major family drama any day. Like I've, I've had a couple of influencer ee. [00:24:00] Brides and grooms and they're fine, but like they're not planning a wedding for them. Yeah, they're planning a wedding for the internet and like, as fun as that is, love the content. It's great.
It's just like, it feels incredibly inauthentic to me. And like my biggest thing in my weddings is the authenticity of it and like it being real and like, if you guys are weird, love that. Let's play into the weird, you know, so I'm not. I'm not into the celebrity couple situation, but I've done the thing a million times where the, the parents can't be around each other.
They don't wanna see each other. I've done it, so. Mm-hmm. So that doesn't try me. Doesn't bother me. Yeah. Truly try. Me, me and my psychology degree are sitting. I got it. I'll handle it. Don't you worry. I, . Have no patience for this influencer, shallow, we've talked about this before, like it's hard. I hate on that.
Yeah. Yeah. And so like, I would be too judgy and like hate her and [00:25:00] then not be able to hide it and then mm-hmm. Be really shitty to her. Yeah. Um, and unfortunately, you know, it's just our face. It's Right. Yes. That's my problem. Yeah. Um. But I, I thrive off drama. I love other people's drama. I love it. Oh yeah, of course.
Love so much. I feel like I would just be, I mean, of course I'd have to deal with it and I'd be talking about it. I'd be sipping wine and popping popcorn. Totally. Oh yeah. It's so much more fun. Yeah. I would feel like I, same. I am all about the deescalation of the family drama. It's like, put me in there, coach.
Like I Oh yeah, you wouldn't do that. You be like, lemme felt this way. I know. I put my fucking hair up and I'd be like, what's your fucking problem? Okay, this is your kid. A hundred percent dad, you're gonna go here, mom, you're gonna go here and we're not gonna fucking talk about it. You know? Yeah. Like I feel like I could deescalate that and then I'd be like, somebody filmed this.
And put it on the, in internet so I could be an influencer. Yeah. Then you'll, then you'll get famous. but yeah,, I totally agree. [00:26:00] And I think that , , the influencers are, oh man, they're tough. You know? It's really hard. Yeah. It's so hard. And yeah, to Peyton your point that it feels fake and it feels so forced and, .
And yeah. Don't ask me to repeat things for your fucking phone. Like, I'm just not here for that. Yeah, yeah. No. Agreed. It's not for me. Agreed.
Another vendor, would you rather, I think a lot of our listeners experience this all the time.
Would you rather work with a vendor who's really good at their job? Massive ego, like massive, or someone who's super green. Dunno shit. And yeah. Which one would you pick? I, I feel like I'm silent because I'm like, I don't know. Oh, I, I would absolutely pick somebody who's new. Yeah, totally.
A million times over. 'cause first of all, I was the newest person in the room for so long, and all I wanted to do was be perfect for every other vendor that I knew was seasoned. Yeah. So I'm. Trying to think from that perspective, like, please bring me a new person. I'll teach you everything you need to know.
I [00:27:00] love new vendors. They're the best, honestly. Especially if they're like, they want it so bad and they just want it to work out. Yeah. And like, I think they're, they're eager, they're like almost too on top of it. I would rather be like, Hey, babe. No worries right now. Well, gotcha. I'll, I'll get you in a sec.
Like I would rather have to talk you down for being too eager than have to be like, hi, back to me. Let's go. We're doing something today. Yeah. Right. Like, you know, to somebody who has too big of an ego. Yeah, I totally agree. And I like highly specifically, don't pick , vendors. Yeah. That happy. That's true.
Because it's just not my vibe in any capacity. And again, I feel super judgy and I need to be listened to and respected. You are laughing if anyone could see the face. But I would have, like if, if I had that super big ego person it would be miserable. I'm not good at playing nice in the sandbox in those situations.
I'm just not, no, it's just like you're not bigger than this couple. You're not bigger than this [00:28:00] day. You're not bigger than this experience. Yeah. And. You know, take a seat. Take a seat. Yeah. You know? Yeah. A hundred percent.
Yeah. So I think the opportunities to give greener or newer people an opportunity to do a good job and earn some more business, , I think, that's also. Awesome. 'cause at some point we were all those people. Oh yeah. Yeah. You know, and we needed people to give us a chance. Oh yeah. And to give us those opportunities.
Yeah. I was like one of the youngest people in the industry for mm-hmm. A very long time when I first started and I was like 23 in a room full of 50 year olds and, you know. That's what differentiates you too, you stand your own. Mm-hmm. You present. More experienced than you were probably.
Thank you. Thank you. Older than than you were at the time. 'cause now you're old and wise. Oh, oh, oh, you actually are. Oh no, but I mean, I've, I've been in business for 10 years. Yeah. You know? Yeah. And that's amazing. I've had my time. Congratulations. [00:29:00] Thank you. But I think you gained respect early on because you didn't present as .
Push over and has green. Yeah. Now you were a hustler from the start. Yeah. You would coordinate at some of the venues that we managed and I was like, Peyton works her ass off. Yeah. Hell yeah. She always does. That's so nice. She's a hustler man. Like. I, you know, tried. You always did. Never caught her sitting.
No. I've never sat a day in my life. Never did it. No. Didn't have to pull her out of the broom closet. Making out with some bartender or something. Nope. No. Not for me. This one. Other ones? Yes. Others? Others. I mean, it wasn't a random example. I'm good.
Other ones? Yes, but definitely not Peyton. We hope you guys have enjoyed playing. Would you rather we're gonna do this again? , It's a ton of fun. If you have suggestions on, would you rathers, please let us know. Yeah, we'll post some. We'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on it.
It's gonna be great. Before we sign off, Peyton, we need to know what is your ultimate wedding horror story? Oh, God, I have so [00:30:00] many. Of course, you most, most of them are just people being drunk of any sort. Yeah. Or a lot of throwing up stories. Oh, gross. Gross. Unfortunately gross. Not father of the bride. Ooh.
You know, that kind of vibe. But I would say like the worst one was when I had to drive a couple. To their hotel post wedding. So why did you have to do this? So this was like probably my first year in business and , this was before I knew what , transportation companies were like, and I wasn't, I wasn't seasoned yet, so I wasn't getting it.
And so this transportation company just did not show up to pick up the couple at the end of the night. Geez. And it was a rowdy group. It was some folks that were on a private residence and then. We're gonna supposedly catch a limo to their hotel, and the limo never showed up. So I had to pack this couple into my baby [00:31:00] Nissan Rogue that I had had since I was 18.
. It's an SUVI suppose, but how about just shitty old car? Old. Okay. So it's an old shitty car. Yep. How long was this drive? 30 minutes. Okay. And it could have been worse, did they? Yeah. It could've been from Vail. Did they start their honeymoon activities?
They did not. So they were, thank you for asking that. They did not. They were very kind. No, but I literally got in the car, I selected a specific playlist, turned the music all the way up, and told them to act like I was not present. I was like, Hey, imagine. Imagine that this is a limo that you were supposed to have where the screen closes and you can't see the driver.
Think of it like that. I'm, I'm just surprised I didn't have to sit on a ladder or any of your stuff. No. It was honestly shocking. It was at a private residence, so I didn't have to take all their stuff with them. Oh, oh. Because otherwise they wouldn't have fit in my car. My car is full of shit by the end.
Yeah. Of wedding. That's why I was, it's full of stuff that I have to take back to them, but yeah, they got to leave it all there. Oh my God. But yeah, so I had to [00:32:00] drive them 30 minutes in the opposite direction of Denver, where I live. Of course. Yes. Um, to take them to their honeymoon hotel and so that, that was a bad one.
I bet they really appreciated it though. Yeah, they were sweeties. I loved them. Were awesome. So they were like all good about it, but, you know, could have been. Could have been, could've been worse, I guess. Yeah, it's still really bad. Awesome. Well, thank you Peyton so much. You, we having, you guys loved having you.
