43 | A Fresh Take on Wedding Expos with Alex of the Crush Collective

In this episode, I chat with Alexandra (Alex) Owens, a multi-passionate entrepreneur about her remarkable journey in the wedding industry. From unexpectedly launching her career as a photo booth attendant (thanks to a Craigslist ad!) to having a hand in 2,700+ events, co-owning a wedding venue, and now creating The Crush Collective—a wedding expo with a fresh take—Alex has done it all.

We dive into:

✨ How her wedding industry journey unfolded in surprising ways

✨ The evolution of weddings over the past 15 years & where the industry is headed

✨ Why she started The Crush Collective and how it’s shaking up the traditional wedding expo scene

✨ Practical advice for wedding pros participating in wedding shows this season

✨ The art of balancing multiple businesses, motherhood, and creativity
