In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by Lizzie from Bougie Music and Holly from Blank Canvas Weddings to talk about the pressure couples feel to create the “perfect” wedding — and why so many of the tiny details simply do not matter as much as people think. From endless Instagram inspiration to guests comparing weddings, they unpack how too much choice can lead to stress, overspending, and second-guessing decisions that should feel joyful.The conversation turns to what guests actually remember after the day: the atmosphere, the food, the music, the laughter, the personal moments, and how relaxed the couple felt. From casino tables and live bands to funny speeches, drunk guests, DIY details, and unforgettable mishaps, this episode is a reminder that the best weddings are not about impressing everyone — they are about creating memories that feel true to you.Ultimately, this episode encourages couples to cut through the noise, stop trying to please everybody, and focus their energy and budget on the things that genuinely shape the experience. Because nobody remembers the chandeliers — but they will remember how your wedding made them feel.Lizzie - Boujee MusicWebsite: https://boujeemusic.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boujeemusiclive/?hl=en-gbFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoujeeMusicLive/Holly Greenwood Blank Canvas Weddings:Website: https://www.blankcanvasweddings.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blankcanvasweddings/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blankcanvasweddings/Support the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

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.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by returning guest and co-host Roxy, alongside David from Married to My Camera, for a brilliant conversation all about wedding photography, storytelling, and why your photos become so much more important as the years go on. David shares how his love of photography started through his grandfather’s family albums, how he went on to exhibit work at the National Portrait Gallery, and how his early career in fashion photography helped shape the documentary style he brings to weddings today.The conversation dives into why wedding photography is about far more than simply capturing a nice picture for Instagram. David explains how photographs become part of a couple’s family legacy, preserving the people, emotions, relationships, and tiny moments that may mean even more in years to come. From navigating tricky family dynamics to helping camera-shy couples feel comfortable, he gives honest advice on how to get natural, meaningful wedding photos without feeling staged or awkward.There’s also plenty of classic Wedding Mayhem chaos, from dirty wedding dresses and bridal prep nerves to sparkler exits, late-night party shots, wedding albums, and why having something tangible to look back on still matters.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we’re talking about something so many couples feel but don’t always say out loud: wedding anxiety, overwhelm, and wedding fatigue. From the pressure of walking down the aisle, making speeches, doing a first dance, pleasing guests, managing traditions, and feeling like everyone is watching, we unpack why wedding planning can suddenly become all-consuming.We also share real stories from weddings where couples chose to do things differently smaller ceremonies, private vows, shorter aisles, no big entrances, relaxed speeches, and first dances that lasted just long enough for the photographer to get the shot. The big message? You don’t have to do anything just because it’s “what people do.”This episode is full of honest advice, funny moments, and practical ideas to help couples cut through the noise, reduce the pressure, and plan a wedding that actually feels like them. Because at the end of the day, it’s your wedding — and you really can do it your way.DJ Lee Russell:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/djleerussell/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lee.russell.3382/?utm_Company Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lrdiscoentertainment/?utm_sourceHolly Greenwood Blank Canvas Weddings:Website: https://www.blankcanvasweddings.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blankcanvasweddings/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blankcanvasweddings/Support the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

in this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we’re joined by Roxy Hayde, a humanist celebrant, group facilitator and relationship coach, who brings a refreshingly honest look at what really happens after the wedding day. Alongside Kathryn Wilson, Roxy explains what a celebrant-led ceremony is all about, putting the couple at the centre, creating something personal, authentic and completely true to them, rather than following a traditional script. She also shares why finding the right celebrant matters so much, especially when couples want their ceremony to feel fun, emotional and genuinely reflective of their relationship.Roxy also opens up about her work as a relationship coach and why she believes couples should be thinking beyond the wedding itself. She speaks passionately about communication, conflict, repair and the reality that marriage can be hard, not because love is missing, but because two people are bringing together different backgrounds, habits and expectations. Her advice is honest, funny and incredibly relatable, reminding couples that the wedding is just one day, but the marriage is everything that comes after.Roxy HaydeWebsite: https://www.roxycelebrateslove.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roxycelebrateslove/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/roxycelebratesloveEmail: [email protected] WilsonWebsite: www.LoveCelebrants.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovecelebrants/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovecelebrantsUKEmail: [email protected] the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Dom Brenton shares what makes his approach to wedding photography stand out in such a crowded industry. Known for his calm, discreet presence, Dom explains how he works quietly in the background to capture the real emotion of the day without ever overpowering it. Based in Romsey near Southampton, he talks about photographing romantic, elegant weddings for couples who value artistry, service and a relaxed experience, while also revealing why building trust with a couple is just as important as taking beautiful photographs.Dom also opens up about how he found his way into wedding photography, from his early love of photography and his time around Romsey Abbey, to landing his first wedding almost by chance and falling in love with the variety the job brings. Throughout the episode, he shares thoughtful insight into everything from second shooting and storytelling through images to photographing church ceremonies, using drones, helping nervous couples feel at ease, and why professionalism and presentation matter so much on a wedding day. It is a really warm and revealing conversation that shows why Dom has become known in the industry as “Mr Calm.”Dom Brenton:Website: https://dbrenton.com/ ,  https://dombrenton.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dombrenton/ Facebook: Dom Brenton Photography Email: [email protected] Greenwood: Website: https://www.blankcanvasweddings.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blankcanvasweddings/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blankcanvasweddings/Support the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

Last-Minute Weddings, Bridal Trials & Ceremony Secrets Revealed!In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by bridal makeup artist Jojo Hicks and celebrant Susan McGregor for a brilliant conversation packed with real wedding insight. Jojo shares why makeup and hair trials are such an important part of the planning process, especially when brides are booking later than ever and making big style decisions close to the wedding day. The chat also explores how the dress, neckline, and overall bridal look can shape the hair and makeup choices, giving couples practical advice on how to plan everything in the right order.Susan then lifts the lid on what a celebrant actually does and why so many couples still do not realise they have a choice beyond a standard registrar ceremony. She explains the difference between the legal part of a wedding and the personal celebration, and talks about how celebrant-led weddings can include bespoke vows, meaningful readings, cultural traditions, multilingual elements, and symbolic rituals like wine blending. It is a thoughtful, honest, and eye-opening episode full of advice for couples who want a wedding ceremony that feels personal, memorable, and completely true to them.Contact:Susan McGregor:Website: https://susanmcgregorcelebrant.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanmcgregorcelebrant/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Susan-McGregor-Celebrant/100089656429546/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-mcgregor-celebrant/Email: [email protected] HicksWebsite: https://jojohicksmua.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jojo_hicks_muaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jojo.hicksmakeupartistandhairSupport the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

In this episode, we’re joined by Liam Ball, also known as The Gentleman Magician and a Magical Wedding Host — a role many couples don’t even realise exists until the pressure of the day starts to build. We talk about how Liam combines hosting, crowd management, and live magic to help weddings feel calm, seamless, and genuinely enjoyable, taking all the separate parts of the day and making them flow as one complete experience. We also explore why so many couples end up feeling like event managers on the biggest day of their lives, and how having the right person in the room can quietly remove stress, hold attention, and keep chaos at bay. Alongside the practical side of hosting, Liam shares the thinking behind blending magic into the wedding day — not just as entertainment, but as a way to create atmosphere, connect people, and make the whole experience feel unforgettable. -------Magic, Hosting & Stress-Free Weddings!Liam BallWebsite: https://yourmagicalweddinghost.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/magicalweddinghost/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MagicalWeddingHostYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCFvWe3VQsIyRJn6t8m9qo0w Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCFvWe3VQsIyRJn6t8m9qo0wPaul Maxin - CelebrantWebsite: https://paulmaxincelebrant.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmaxinthecelebrant/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Paul-Maxin-Celebrant-61564872886424/?locale=en_GBTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paul.maxin.celebr?_t=8p5ERLNT160&_r=1Support the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

In this episode, we sit down with Obi and Peju for a refreshingly real conversation about what actually holds a marriage together when the “new relationship glow” fades. From the very start, they share how their relationship was built on friendship first, the kind of foundation that keeps you connected through kids, careers, changing seasons, and everything life throws at you.They unpack the idea of rediscovering each other over time (because you don’t stay the same person you were when you first fell in love), and why rediscovering yourself is just as important if you want to love someone well. The chat gets practical as they talk about conflict styles, how differences don’t have to become deal-breakers, and what it looks like to work through tension without losing the relationship. And just when you think it can’t get deeper, they share one of their most powerful tools: creating a marriage mission statement / “marriage manifesto” — a North Star that helps them stay intentional about what matters most. It’s honest, funny in places, and full of takeaways for anyone dating, engaged, newly married, or trying to strengthen what they’ve already built.Obi & Peju (The Jedi & Spark Show)Website: https://thejediandthespark.net/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_jedi_and_the_spark/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheJediTheSpark/videosEmail: [email protected] WilsonWebsite: www.LoveCelebrants.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovecelebrants/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovecelebrantsUKEmail: [email protected] the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon sits down with celebrant Alison Hargrees for a candid, funny and surprisingly deep dive into modern weddings. From the debate around legalising celebrant-led ceremonies in the UK to what actually makes a ceremony unforgettable, they explore why more couples are choosing personalisation over tradition. Alison shares how she became a humanist celebrant, what really happens behind the scenes when crafting a ceremony, and why asking couples “Why are you getting married?” can completely change the tone of the day.The conversation also flips the script as Alison grills Sharon on wedding dress shopping myths,  how far in advance you really need to start, whether alterations should be included, and why you should never match your dress to your venue. They tackle hidden wedding costs, budget expectations, sound limiters, industry regulation, and even the chaos of unexpected wedding guests (including someone who brought KFC to a bridal boutique!).If you’re newly engaged, planning your ceremony, shopping for a dress, or just love a bit of wedding industry truth-telling, this episode is packed with honest advice, insider insight, and plenty of Wedding Mayhem energy.UK Wedding Association: https://ukweddingassociation.co.uk/Alison Hargrees - 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/GuidesforBrides2015Lizzie - Boujee MusicWebsite: https://boujeemusic.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boujeemusiclive/?hl=en-gbFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoujeeMusicLive/Support the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

In this episode, we lift the bonnet on one of the most overlooked parts of a wedding day: the cars and transport. From the “Uber effect” and too-good-to-be-true deals, to the red flags couples miss when booking, we break down what actually separates a reliable wedding car service from a disaster waiting to happen  and why seeing the car, asking the right questions, and having proper contingencies isn’t optional.Along the way, it gets properly chaotic: unbelievable real-world stories, awkward moments, and the kind of behind-the-scenes reality that most couples never hear until it’s too late. If you’re planning a wedding (or you just love a bit of wedding mayhem), this one is packed with practical advice, laugh-out-loud moments, and a few jaw-droppers that’ll make you rethink “cheap and cheerful” wedding transport.David EminWebsite: connectlimos.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/connectlimos/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConnectLimos-100396258960292Simon PopeWebsite: https://www.beunveiled.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/BeUnveiledWedds/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/simon.pope.94X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/BeUnveiledUKSupport the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we’re diving headfirst into the kind of wedding chaos you genuinely couldn’t make up. From a groom marrying his new partner on the exact same date he was meant to wed his ex, to a bridesmaid betrayal involving secret messages and naked photos, the drama is very real. We also unpack the all-too-common panic of “Am I doing the right thing?” and the harsh truth that it’s often easier to call off a wedding than it is to untangle a marriage.But it’s not all heartbreak and horror stories. We talk about runaway ring-bearing dogs, grooms getting more involved in planning, family guest list politics, and how to stay present when the pressure starts building. This episode is packed with honest advice, relatable confessions, and a reminder that weddings aren’t just flowers and sparkle — they’re real life, real emotions, and sometimes real mayhem.Whether you’re planning your big day or just here for the drama, this one is full of moments that will make you laugh, gasp, and maybe even rethink a few decisions.Lizzie - Boujee MusicWebsite: https://boujeemusic.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boujeemusiclive/?hl=en-gbFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoujeeMusicLive/Support the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

We’re joined by Tim & Lauren from Next Level Music & International Party Band And this one is going to be LOUD… in the best way.Between them, they’ve worked with some of the biggest names in music — from Rick Astley (who actually sang at their wedding… swoon 😍) to John Legend — so when it comes to booking a band and filling a dance floor, they truly know what they’re talking about.They’re bringing in a decibel meter and we’re going to demonstrate exactly what 85dB through to 100dB actually sounds like. What do those numbers REALLY mean? What does a sound limiter actually feel like in real life? And how loud is “too loud” anyway?If you’re planning a wedding at a venue with restrictions, this episode could completely change how you think about your entertainment.But we don’t stop there…Weddings are meant to be joyful, unforgettable celebrations — yet what no one tells you is just how much can (and often does) go wrong behind the scenes.In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we pull back the curtain on the realities of wedding days. From unexpected behaviour and awkward moments, to supplier stress, family dynamics and the pressure couples feel to keep everything “perfect.”We talk about:Why entertainment becomes such a huge control pointAnxious brides (and yes… sometimes grooms too)Why delegation feels so hardWhat actually happens when you trust professionals and let goReading the room and protecting the couple’s momentThrough real stories, honest conversation and a few laugh-out-loud moments, we explore why weddings don’t always go to plan — and why that’s far more normal than Instagram would have you believe.Because the truth?Perfection is overrated.Things will go wrong.And the key to a brilliant wedding isn’t control — it’s trust, flexibility, and knowing you’re not alone when the mayhem kicks in.If you’re planning a wedding (or working in the industry), this is a must-watch.Tim + Lauren (Next Level Music)Website: https://www.nextlevelmusic.co.uk/Instagram: https://instagram.com/nextlevelmusicukFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/nextlevelmusicukLinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/company/nextlevelmusicPintrest: https://www.pinterest.com/nextlevelmusicukX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/nxtlevel_musicHolly Greenwood:Website: https://www.blankcanvasweddings.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blankcanvasweddings/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blankcanvasweddings/-----Contact us:  https://www.weddingmayhem.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/weddingmayhempodcastFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553179314701Email: [email protected]: https://www.lovemedobrides.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovemedobridesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovemedobridesSupport the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

Wedding planning is exciting… but what no one really talks about is how quickly things can go wrong. In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we’re diving into the reality behind the engagement buzz, from panic booking suppliers and signing contracts too fast, to wedding fairs, red flags, and expectations that don’t always match real life. If you’ve recently got engaged (especially over Christmas 👀), this is the episode you need to hear before you start spending money.We share real stories from the wedding industry front line, including what couples often forget to ask, why “fully booked” doesn’t always mean what you think it means, and how excitement can lead to decisions that cost you time, stress, and sometimes thousands of pounds. This isn’t about scaremongering,  it’s about helping you feel confident, prepared, and in control when planning your big day.Whether you’re newly engaged, deep in planning, or a supplier who sees this happen all the time, this episode is a reminder that a smooth wedding journey starts with clear expectations, honest conversations, and asking the right questions early. Expect laughs, real talk, and advice you won’t hear at a wedding fair.DJ Lee Russell:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/djleerussel...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lee.russell....Company Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lrdis...Holly Greenwood:Website: https://www.blankcanvasweddings.co.uk/Instagram:   / blankcanvasweddings  Facebook:   / blankcanvasweddings  Support the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we sit down with Amanda of Amanda’s Beautiful Ceremonies, whose journey into the wedding industry began in the most unexpected  and emotional way. After spending over three decades as a teacher, Amanda never imagined she’d be standing at the heart of wedding ceremonies. But one deeply personal loss, and one unforgettable funeral, planted the seed for a completely new calling.Amanda opens up about the moment she first encountered a celebrant and realised the power of ceremony done properly not scripted, not rushed, but deeply human. From navigating grief to finding purpose, she shares how that experience reshaped her view of weddings, people, and connection. We talk about the reality of starting again later in life, the risks involved, and the moments that made her think, “I have to do this.”Along the way, we dive into the world of celebrant-led weddings  what they really are, why couples are craving more personal ceremonies, and why the celebrant-registrar debate still sparks controversy. From pirate weddings to deeply emotional vows, this episode is a powerful reminder that weddings aren’t about ticking boxes they’re about meaning, memory, and moments that last a lifetime!Amanda - Amanda's Beautiful CeremoniesWebsite: https://amandasceremonies.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandasceremonies/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amandasbeautifulceremoniesYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@amandasbeautifulceremonies1118/videosKelly MortimerWebsite: https://kellymortimer.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wedding_kellyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/IncreaseWeddingRevenueEmail: [email protected] the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.

With over two decades in the wedding and hospitality industry, Kelly explains the reality of venues, coordinators, logistics, and those “mystery charges” that couples often don’t see coming.From the now-infamous cakeage debate to why venue coordinators are not the same as independent wedding planners, this conversation dives into the small details that cause the biggest problems.
