Laura Somma
In this episode of The Wine and Dine Me Podcast, Reagan sits down with Italy planner Laura Somma to talk about what high-stakes events really require: discretion, directness, and a calm standard that does not bend under pressure. They get into privacy-first logistics, why the most sophisticated hosts crave simplicity, and how multi-country wedding weekends are changing the definition of experience.
Calder clark
A candid conversation with Calder Clark on what actually protects an event: clear expectations, smart boundaries, and design that functions as well as it photographs. We talk value (not just price), why the bill payer needs a seat at the table early, and how Calder builds a point of view without living on the scroll.
Jessica Connolly
Great design isn’t about what photographs well. It’s about how a space works, feels, and moves people. In this episode of The Wine and Dine Me Podcast, Reagan sits down with Jessica Connolly of Social Supply Design to unpack why execution, emotion, and human behavior matter more than aesthetics when scaling a creative business.
Reagan Prechter

In this blog, I share my unfiltered advice—why you shouldn’t over-entertain guests, why florists can’t be quoted like 1-800-Flowers, why lighting transforms everything, and more. These are the observations I’d tell you if I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings.
