  • Great Help!

    I was struggling to know what suppliers to choose, and what we wanted for our wedding but this podcast really helped. I booked some of the suppliers, as well as The Added Extra as I loved Isla and Paul haha

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why More Couples Are Choosing Celebrants for Their Wedding Ceremonies
Q: Is a celebrant worth it compared to asking a friend to do it?
A celebrant brings structure, experience, and the ability to manage the crowd and keep guests engaged, which a friend may not be able to do, even if they're a good speaker.
Our FIRST EVER Live Wedding Podcast… Suppliers Expose What Couples Get WRONG
Q: What do couples think matters but actually doesn't?
Focus on personal happiness and simplicity; avoid trying to please everyone, as DIY or over-planning can create unnecessary stress and detract from the couple's own experience.
Confetti Down the Dress?! Wedding Videographer Horror Stories & Advice
Q: What do you do if your videographer misses a huge moment, like a first look or a dad's speech?
Ensure you provide a clear timings form before the day and communicate any deviations; the videographer can miss moments if the schedule shifts, so early and precise coordination is essential.
Confetti Down the Dress?! Wedding Videographer Horror Stories & Advice
Q: Do you do a bit of content creation, though?
Yes, there is a TikTok-focused content option, but it's supplemental; couples still get a longer seven-minute wedding film and a short sneak peek, while content creators can handle social clips as an add-on rather than replacing the main film.
Confetti Down the Dress?! Wedding Videographer Horror Stories & Advice
Q: What is your biggest piece of advice to your bride and grooms?
Be true to yourselves and don't be swayed by others' opinions or social media trends; the wedding day is about your commitment, and everything else is secondary.
