Is it for the cake? The dancing? The unfiltered post-wedding stories? Listen in to find out. As professionals, we see everything, hear everything and we are HERE. FOR. IT.
Episode Notes
In this episode, I test Joe’s patience by holding out on my favorite part of a wedding. There are so many things to love, and it’s so hard to pick just one! We learn how serious I am about cake (VERY SERIOUS), and how serious Joe is about old fashioneds. Don’t worry – we also share advice and tips on how to incorporate things that you love into your wedding, while still staying true to you and your wedding. Brides, grooms, family and friends – listen in to get the inside scoops.

Things We Love About Weddings
- The Overall Guest Experience: Have you seen a surprise wedding or enjoyed an over-the-top dessert bar? How about a whiskey bar, late night baby donuts, or a dance floor under the stars? These are just a few examples of how to create a memorable guest experience.
- A Good Toast/Speech: We’re not talking about a “speaking from your heart” speech – we’re talking about a pre-planned speech with intention, humor and a toast at the end.
- The Couple, Taking it All In: We’re obsessed with that moment before the couple walks into their reception for the grand entrance. Does it get any better than this?
- Post-COVID Celebration: We love when a party comes to life. Does it feel like things have gotten even better post-COVID? We think so.
- An Open Bar: Not gonna lie, I love when guests do shots. Listen in to find out my reasoning (I promise, it makes sense).
