What's On The Playlist? The Wedding Industry Podcast

Wedding season is just starting to wake up, and in this episode Tony and Chris recap the first few events of the year and some early observations from the dance floor.Chris also shares a recent behind-the-scenes story about getting sick and why having a strong team and backup plan in place saved the day for multiple events. It’s a reminder that great weddings don’t happen because of one vendor , they happen because of a coordinated team working together.From there, the conversation turns into something we’ve both been noticing more and more in the industry: weddings seem to be splitting into two very different markets. On one side are luxury events going bigger than ever, and on the other are smaller micro-weddings and more intimate celebrations. The traditional “middle-tier” wedding? It seems to be disappearing.We talk about what this shift means for DJs, planners, venues, and other vendors and how professionals can adapt to the changing landscape.If you’re in the wedding industry, this is a conversation you’ll want to hear.
