Three topics. Five minutes each. Zero chill.
In this quick-fire episode, we each get just five minutes to sound off on a wedding topic we’re seriously passionate about and you already know we didn’t hold back.
๐ฅ Lisa shares why vendor meals aren’t just polite they’re essential.
๐ฅShelby questions all the “rules” the wedding industry made up and why it’s time to break them.
๐ฅ Jess makes a case for planning your day your way not for your guests.
It’s honest, hilarious, and full of mic-drop moments for couples and vendors alike. Tune in for a fast-paced episode that delivers the real talk you didn’t know you needed. -
What would your wedding look like if you had no budget, dream vendors on speed dial, and 20 seconds to make every decision? ๐
This week, we’re throwing the rulebook out the window and diving headfirst into some full-blown fantasy wedding chaos. Shelby’s bringing the prompts, and Jess + Lisa are put on the spot to plan their ultimate “what if?” wedding day right here in Perth.
We’re talking iconic venues, wild vendor picks, bold outfit choices, and split-second decisions that’ll have you laughing the whole way through.
Whether you’re planning your first “I do,” dreaming of a re-do, or just here for the laughs, this one’s fun, fast, and full of inspo. Let’s get unfiltered, baby. ๐ฅ๐ -
Episodes manquant?
-
Are weddings still about love and meaning… or are we all just chasing trends? ๐
The trio is back at the mic—but with a twist! Lisa takes the host seat and puts Jess and Shelby in the hot chair to unpack how weddings have changed over the years.
From emotional, intimate celebrations to curated, content-driven spectacles, they’re spilling all the tea on:
- Whether weddings have gotten better—or just more aesthetic
- What social media is doing to your big day (and your sanity)
- If we’re planning for us, or performing for everyone else
Why it feels harder than ever to keep things meaningful
And what they really miss about weddings "back in the day"
Whether you're newly engaged, married AF, or just here for the drama and dance floors, this episode dives deep into the heart (and hashtag) of modern weddings.
Grab a drink, press play, and prepare to question everything. -
Spoiler alert: absolutely not! A wedding DJ is so much more than an upgraded Spotify playlist and if you want a night that actually feels like a celebration (not a snoozefest), this episode is a must-listen.
We’re sitting down with Brody from Southern Sky Events to break down the real magic behind the booth how DJs read the room, manage the timeline, coordinate with vendors, and keep the dance floor lit from first dance to final song.
Plus, we’re serving up wild behind-the-scenes stories, unexpected moments, and the kind of chaos that proves a good DJ doesn’t just play music they run the damn reception!
Whether you’re deep in planning mode or just here for the real talk, this episode spills what actually makes or breaks a wedding night. -
This week, we’re diving into one of the spiciest convos in weddings right now: videographers VS content creators.
Joining the mic is the wildly talented Hayley, a professional wedding videographer who’s spent years turning love stories into cinematic gold. And co-host Shelby? She’s coming in hot from the other side of the lens as a wedding content creator.
So… are these two roles really that different? Do you need both? And what should couples actually be asking before they book?
Together, they unpack:
- What makes each role unique (and why it matters)
- Where the confusion starts and how to avoid it
- The real pros and potential pitfalls of each style
- How the wedding industry is shifting… fast
This isn’t a battle, it's a bold, honest convo that every couple (and vendor) needs to hear. Because the more you know, the better you book. -
This is the episode we’ve been DYING to drop. ๐จโจ

๐ Stay tuned for Part 2 after the wedding for the full glow-up (or meltdown?) recap. -
Is your wedding really for you... or for everyone else?
This week, we’re diving into one of the most controversial wedding questions: Whose day is it, anyway? We’re unpacking the pressure couples face to plan the “perfect” party that keeps everyone happy—while still trying to create something that actually feels like them.
From sticky guest expectations and family opinions, to that internal battle between “we want a donut wall” and “what will people think?”, we’re keeping it real and helping you decide what truly matters when planning your big day.
So pour a drink, ditch the guilt, and let’s talk about how to plan a wedding that reflects your love story without losing your mind (or your personality) in the process. -
WTF do I post?! If you’ve ever screamed this into the void while trying to run your wedding biz and show up consistently on Instagram… same, babe. SAME.
In this episode, Shelby wedding content creator and social media strategist is giving you the real BTS of using social media to actually book out your wedding business.
This isn’t about going viral. It’s about creating content that speaks directly to the couples you want to work with, building trust in your DMs, and showing up online in a way that’s sustainable (and not soul-sucking).
We’re talking:
- What to post to attract actual paying clients
- How to stay consistent without burning out
- DM tips to turn followers into booked couples
- What not to waste your time on
- Shelby’s fave strategies for turning followers into fans
Whether you're a florist, photographer, planner or stylist this one’s for the vendors who are ready to make their content WORK for them.
Press play and say goodbye to social media guesswork. You’re about to show up like the badass biz owner you are. -
We’re just gonna say it: your venue coordinator is not your wedding planner.๐ฎ๐จ
And while we’re at it your stylist doesn’t run your timeline, and your day-of coordinator isn’t there to design your tablescape.
In this episode of Weddings Unfiltered, we’re getting real about the four major roles that make wedding magic happen:
Wedding Planner
Wedding Coordinator
Wedding Stylist
Venue Coordinator
What’s the difference? Why does it matter? And can one person actually do it all? (Spoiler again: nope.)
If you’re a couple who’s confused AF or a vendor who’s tired of wearing 12 hats you weren’t paid for, this one’s for you. We’re breaking it all down so everyone knows their lane—and weddings can actually run smoothly. -
It’s unhinged. It’s hilarious. It’s a hot wedding mess.
This week, we’re coming in zero chill with Shelby’s $2K scam story just TWO WEEKS before her wedding (yes, seriously), a chaotic wedding alphabet game, and a few spicy opinions about the garter toss (spoiler: we’re over it).
We also talk bouquet toss regrets (Shelby has one), a tear-jerking twist we’re loving instead, and prepare yourselves Jess and Lisa have NEVER seen Mamma Mia. The betrayal!
Come for the chaos, stay for the cackles. This one’s all fun, no filter. -

This is not your typical wedding industry conversation but it’s one that needs to be had.
In this deeply personal and unfiltered episode, we’re diving into the realities of mental health struggles anxiety, depression, trauma, and the silent battles so many of us face behind the scenes. Whether you’re a wedding vendor balancing burnout, a couple navigating stress, or someone simply trying to keep it together, this conversation is for you.
We’ll be unpacking the stigma that keeps people from seeking help, the pressures of perfection in both life and business, and why it’s time to normalise these discussions. Because the truth is mental health affects everyone in some way, and no one should have to face it alone. -
In this episode of Weddings Unfiltered, we’re diving into the most epic wedding fails the kind that make you laugh, cringe, and thank the universe if it didn't happen to you (or maybe it did?!).
