Episode 12 - Delegation, Boundaries, and Building a Team Before Baby with Keri Ketterer Walter

Before Keri Ketterer Walter welcomed her first baby, we sat down to talk about what it looks like to prepare for motherhood while running two thriving luxury wedding planning businesses.

Keri was actually my own wedding planner back in 2018, so this conversation felt especially full circle. In this episode, she shares the story behind the evolution of Always Yours Events and KKW & Co., how she carved out a specialty in private estate and tented weddings, and what it has looked like to thoughtfully prepare her team, clients, and business for this next chapter.

We talk about delegation, boundaries, daycare plans, maternity leave in a seasonal industry, and the emotional reality of watching others grow while your own priorities begin to shift. Keri also shares why she believes mothers in the wedding industry often become more focused, more efficient, and even more powerful in business.

If you’ve ever wondered how to build a business that can support both your ambition and your family, this conversation is such a good one.

In this episode, we cover:

• The difference between Always Yours Events and KKW & Co.
• How Keri built a name in the ultra-luxury private estate wedding space
• How she told clients she was pregnant
• Why delegation became her keyword before motherhood
• The motherhood “divide” in the wedding industry
• Why moms may actually become more efficient and focused in business
• What she hopes the industry looks like for women and mothers moving forward
