Meet Laura Vazquez-waddell | The Scottsdale Party Planner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Laura Vazquez-waddell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Laura, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
Risk-taking has been a cornerstone of my journey with AZ Bachelorette Party. When I first envisioned starting this company, it was clear that stepping into the bachelorette party planning industry required a leap of faith. The industry was saturated, and establishing a new brand would be challenging. However, I saw an opportunity to innovate and bring something fresh to the table, and that vision drove me forward.

In my career, taking calculated risks has meant more than just financial investment; it’s about daring to break the mold and redefining what’s possible. For instance, when I launched AZ Bachelorette Party, I drew from my extensive background in luxury event planning, but I also ventured into new areas, such as creating bespoke experiences and incorporating unique elements like mixology classes and personalized decor. These risks allowed us to stand out and rapidly gain traction.

Taking risks has played a significant role in my career by pushing boundaries and encouraging growth. For example, launching our mobile bar and collaborating with various vendors were risks that required careful planning and execution. These decisions led to exceptional outcomes and solidified our reputation as a top-tier bachelorette party planning company.

Ultimately, embracing risk has allowed AZ Bachelorette Party to transform from an idea into one of the highest-rated companies in the industry. It has enabled us to innovate, expand, and offer unparalleled experiences to our clients. Risk-taking is not about being reckless; it’s about being bold and strategic, and it’s this mindset that has propelled our success.
