Candice Coppola is a business owner, wedding planner and designer, small business coach / mentor, podcast host, and a published author! You may be familiar with her event planning and design company, Jubilee Events, which she recently sold to her longtime employee in October of 2019. Candice’s first business started out on a whim: she had a desire to plan and design beautiful events, but had no formal training in event planning or the business of weddings. She developed an intuitive knack for both and in turn, built a profitable 6-figure business and one of the most recognized brands in the industry. Candice is passionate about motivating, teaching, and helping other small businesses in the wedding industry succeed. In fulfilling her love of teaching, Candice has mentored dozens of business owners in the wedding industry, helping them build a profitable business with purpose. In 2018 she launched her podcast, The Power in Purpose, which sits on the iTunes charts as one of the top 100 podcasts in the entrepreneur category. In her podcast, she interviews other successful entrepreneurs on their journey toward finding their purpose and the impact in had on their lives. Candice’s work and voice can be seen in many publications, but most recently and most notably in her two books The White Dress in Color: Inspirations for the Modern Bride and The White Dress Destinations: The Definitive Guide to Planning the New Destination Wedding, published by Schiffer Publishing.
