The Wedding Music Backup Every Couple Should Know About!

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we dive into one of the most important but often last-minute parts of a wedding day: the music. Sharon is joined by Don McAllister and his daughter Nicola from The Wedding Player, an app Don originally built for Nicola’s own wedding after realising how stressful it can be to get ceremony music perfectly timed, faded, and played in the right order.From walking down the aisle to signing the register and making that big exit, the episode explores why wedding music has such a huge impact on the atmosphere of the day — and how easily things can go wrong without a proper plan. Don explains how The Wedding Player works offline, includes rehearsal and ceremony modes, prevents accidental button presses, and even checks essentials like airplane mode and Do Not Disturb before the ceremony begins.The conversation also covers DIY wedding music, using your own tracks, Apple Music integration, built-in instrumental options, and why couples, venues, planners and celebrants may all benefit from having a simple, reliable music backup. It’s a practical, funny and surprisingly emotional episode about making sure the soundtrack to your wedding day is as stress-free as possible-------The Wedding Music Backup Every Couple Should Know About!Don McAllister & Nicola StaplesWebsite: https://weddingplayer.app/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weddingplayerapp/App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/wedding-player/id6761370219Alison Hargreaves - Guides for bridesWebsite: https://guidesforbrides.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guidesforbrides/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/guidesforbridesTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@guidesforbridesYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/GuidesforBrides2015Support the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.
