In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by Holly from Blank Canvas Weddings and Craig Little from The Everyday DJ Company to talk all things wedding music, playlists and packed dance floors. Craig shares how he accidentally fell into DJing after stepping in to help at a friend’s wedding, and how that one night eventually turned into a career spanning more than a decade.

The conversation gets into what really makes a great wedding party, from choosing the right first dance and handling guest requests to why couples shouldn’t expect their DJ to simply work through a huge Spotify playlist. Craig explains the importance of reading the room, trusting your DJ and choosing music that works for the whole wedding rather than just individual tastes. There are also plenty of stories from the dance floor, including songs that have completely killed the atmosphere and why sometimes the bride and groom’s “must plays” don’t quite go to plan.

Craig also shares some brilliant stories from his career, including DJing at Wentworth Golf Club for Jake Bongiovi’s 21st birthday, where Millie Bobby Brown was among the guests. From celebrity parties and wedding music mistakes to Mr Brightside, the Cha Cha Slide and the songs Craig would happily never play again, it’s an honest and entertaining look at what really goes into keeping a wedding dance floor alive.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by Frankie from Illustrations by Kiwi, an award-winning live wedding illustrator whose journey into the wedding industry is anything but ordinary. Frankie shares how she went from working as a chef for 15 years to rediscovering her love of art, eventually turning what she thought would be a side hustle into a full-time career creating personalised illustrations for couples and their guests.

Frankie talks about what actually happens when a live illustrator comes to a wedding, from photographing guests and sketching them throughout the day to creating meaningful keepsakes that couples can treasure long after the celebrations are over. She also opens up about finding her own artistic style, the importance of choosing suppliers who truly fit your wedding, and some of the more unusual requests she has received from guests along the way.

Full of laughs, honest conversation and plenty of Wedding Mayhem chaos, this episode explores how creativity, personality and a little bit of quirkiness can make a wedding feel completely unique.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined once again by Samantha Gilchrist, who steps into the co-host seat, alongside wedding celebrant Gayle Davis-Tyrell from Sunflower Celebrations. Gayle shares how a deeply personal family experience led her into the world of celebrancy, why she chose to focus on weddings, and how she creates ceremonies that feel completely personal to each couple.

The conversation explores everything from writing unique love stories and involving friends and family in the ceremony, to surprise ring bearers, dogs at weddings and the difference between a celebrant-led ceremony and the legal side of getting married. Gayle also explains why getting to know a couple properly matters so much, how she uses their stories, personalities and little details to shape the ceremony, and why no two weddings should ever feel the same.

As always, there is plenty of Wedding Mayhem along the way, with honest opinions on registrars, wedding traditions, family politics, and some brilliantly unusual ceremony ideas. It’s a fun and insightful episode for anyone planning a wedding and wondering how to make their ceremony feel more personal, meaningful and memorable.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by award-winning wedding videographer Chris Parker, with magician Liam Ball returning as co-host. Chris shares how he filmed his first wedding at just 16, before going on to work in teaching, live sports broadcasting and media — experiences that have all shaped the way he approaches weddings today. He explains why he prefers to work unobtrusively, capturing the natural moments that happen throughout the day rather than constantly staging shots or pulling couples away from their guests.

The conversation also gets into some of the realities behind the scenes at weddings, from difficult ceremony restrictions and supplier clashes to couples missing huge parts of their own day because of photos and video. Chris explains why communication between suppliers is so important, why couples should never be afraid to speak up about what they want, and why the wedding itself should always come before creating content for social media.

They also discuss the lasting value of wedding video, the moments couples often don't realise they've missed, and why the best footage can sometimes come from the little interactions happening between the posed shots. With plenty of stories, practical advice and wedding-day chaos along the way, this episode is a reminder that while beautiful photos and films matter, how your wedding day actually feels matters even more.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by Samantha Gilchrist, founder and CEO of The Gilchrist Collection, a group of 12 unique wedding venues across the UK and US. Samantha shares the incredible story of how she went from photographing weddings to unexpectedly buying her first venue, The Ravenswood, after a chance phone call revealed it was about to go back on the market. From a £3 million handshake-style deal to rebuilding cancelled weddings and growing the business across multiple locations, it is a story full of risk, instinct and determination.

Samantha also gives a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what really goes into running a wedding venue, from staffing and maintenance to guest flow, bar placement and creating the right atmosphere. She explains why every couple should feel like they are the only wedding that matters, why transparency around pricing is so important and why some venue costs are higher than couples may first expect.

There are also plenty of unforgettable stories along the way, including alligator lakes, surprise roof repairs, guests making questionable decisions and the realities of managing historic properties. It is an honest, funny and insightful conversation about the wedding industry, venue ownership and what it really takes to deliver thousands of weddings successfully.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by wedding photographer Damien Vickers, with Olivia from Studio Chapman returning as co-host. Damien shares how he approaches wedding photography through authenticity, emotion and storytelling, capturing the day as it naturally unfolds rather than turning it into one long photoshoot. He explains why the moments couples never plan are often the ones they treasure most, from emotional hugs after speeches to the quiet exchanges happening in between the big events.

The conversation also explores the pressure of standing out in the wedding industry, the danger of copying other photographers and why Damien values five-star reviews from happy couples more than awards. He opens up about finding his own style, learning to anticipate emotional moments and creating timeless images that will still feel meaningful decades later.

There are also plenty of unforgettable wedding stories, including disappearing couples, guests leaving early and one very awkward encounter involving a former groom and a maid of honour. Damien also shares his biggest advice for couples planning their day: leave space in the timeline, trust your suppliers and let the wedding breathe.

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.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon and Lee are joined by Scott and Olivia, the creative duo behind Burn the Script. They share how they transformed a traditional photography business into a bold, personality-led wedding photography, videography and content creation brand for couples who want to break away from convention. From alternative styling and unforgettable themed weddings to choosing suppliers who genuinely understand your vision, the conversation is a celebration of doing things differently.

The pair also reveal how they help camera-shy couples relax through their unique card game, designed to create natural laughter, movement and genuine moments rather than stiff, posed photographs. Along the way, they discuss guest-list pressure, finding the courage to ignore outdated expectations, building a distinctive wedding brand and planning their own celebration. It is an honest, funny and inspiring reminder that your wedding should feel unmistakably like you—not a copy-and-paste version of somebody else’s day.

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

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. This episode is perfect for couples who are choosing their photographer, feeling nervous about being in front of the camera, or wondering what really makes wedding photos stand the test of time.

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.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by Holly Greenwood from Blank Canvas Weddings and DJ Lee Russell to talk about the real impact of rising costs, delays, war, recession, and uncertainty on the wedding industry. From wedding dresses and suits to entertainment equipment, marquees, catering, travel, and venues, they unpack what is actually happening behind the scenes — and why couples need to be more organised than ever.

The conversation covers practical advice for couples planning their wedding right now, including why wedding insurance should be a priority, how to build in extra time for dress deliveries and fittings, why prices may change, and how to avoid being caught out by delays or discontinued products. They also discuss the importance of choosing trustworthy suppliers, asking the right questions, and understanding that the cheapest option is not always the safest one.

As always, the episode mixes honest industry insight with plenty of Wedding Mayhem humour, including marathon stories, supplier chaos, behind-the-scenes wedding realities, and listener questions. It is a must-listen for couples who want reassurance, realistic advice, and a clearer idea of how to protect their wedding plans in unpredictable times.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon & Kathryn Wilson are joined by Emily Jacob from The Social Diaries to unpack the fast-growing world of wedding content creation. They discuss what a wedding content creator actually does, why so many couples are now booking one alongside their photographer and videographer, and how the role helps capture the behind-the-scenes moments that often get missed on the day.

Emily shares how she works discreetly with couples and suppliers to create relaxed, natural phone-shot content that can be delivered quickly after the wedding. The conversation explores why this service is not just about “posting online,” but about preserving the feeling, atmosphere, and candid memories of the day in a format couples can relive almost instantly.

They also dive into the realities of working in the wedding industry, from building trust with couples to collaborating well with other suppliers, dealing with ghosting, and educating people on what content creators bring to a wedding. It is a warm, honest and practical episode for couples, suppliers, and anyone curious about one of the newest roles in the wedding world.

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.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by wedding business expert Kelly Mortimer along with Chris Goodchild and Julie Twig from The Best Magic Mirrors for a lively conversation about what couples really need to know when booking wedding suppliers. 

From Kelly’s experience working with luxury brands, celebrity clients and even royal events, to Chris and Julie’s insight into creating a premium photo booth experience, this episode lifts the lid on what goes on behind the scenes in the wedding industry and why the cheapest option is not always the best one.

Chris shares the brilliant story of how one disappointing photo booth experience at a wedding inspired him to build a luxury alternative, while Julie explains what it’s like to grow within the franchise and create a five-star guest experience for couples across multiple territories. 

Together, they reveal why details like backup plans, customer service, styling, transparency and technology matter so much, and how couples can better spot suppliers who truly care about delivering on the day. There’s also plenty of fun along the way, including hilarious wedding stories, honest business chat and a look at how The Best Magic Mirrors has expanded into audio guestbooks, virtual experiences and new roaming photo tech.

It’s a brilliant episode for couples planning their wedding, as well as suppliers looking to improve the way they serve their clients. Expect real talk on hidden costs, booking mistakes, guest experience, premium service and why the people behind the business matter just as much as the product itself.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 point
Anxious brides (and yes… sometimes grooms too)
Why delegation feels so hard
What actually happens when you trust professionals and let go
Reading the room and protecting the couple’s moment

Through 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.

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.

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!

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Kelly pulls back the curtain on how weddings actually work behind the scenes and why so many couples end up frustrated, confused, or stressed when things don’t go exactly to plan. 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. Kelly breaks down how hotels and venues operate, why certain fees exist, and how miscommunication  not malice  is usually at the heart of wedding planning drama.

If you’re recently engaged, planning a wedding, or working in the industry, this episode is packed with honest advice, practical tools, and eye-opening insights that will help you ask better questions, plan smarter, and avoid last-minute surprises. Before you blame the venue… this is the conversation you need to hear.

In this Wedding Mayhem Q&A special, celebrant and entertainer Maria Hurtz joins the podcast to tackle real listener questions sent in from couples deep in the chaos of wedding planning. From bridesmaids making the day all about themselves, to gift lists people can’t afford, awkward boundaries, money stress and weddings that don’t go to plan — nothing is off limits in this honest, hilarious and refreshingly real episode.

Drawing on years of experience officiating weddings (and funerals), Maria shares blunt, compassionate advice on when to speak up, when to let things go, and how to stay grounded when emotions, expectations and budgets start spiralling. The conversation also dives into why tradition isn’t mandatory, why perfection is overrated, and why the moments that go wrong often become the stories everyone remembers.

This episode is packed with laughter, warmth and straight-talk for anyone planning a wedding  or recovering from one. If you’ve ever worried about upsetting people, overspending, or losing control of your own day, this is the Wedding Mayhem episode that reminds you: chaos happens, boundaries matter, and the show always goes on.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we’re joined by Justine Burton of Bertie’s Photography, a wedding photographer who goes far beyond simply taking beautiful pictures. From pre-wedding walk-throughs to detailed timelines and learning every important guest by name, Justine reveals why planning, connection, and calm matter far more than the perfect pose or expensive camera.

We dive deep into the realities couples rarely think about — sound limiters cutting the music, weather ruining plans, group shots becoming chaos, and the quiet regret that comes from missing moments you paid thousands for. Justine explains why couples don’t remember how they looked, but how they felt — and how the wrong approach to photography can completely change that memory.

If you’re planning a wedding (or already married and thinking “I wish I’d known this”), this episode is packed with brutally honest advice, behind-the-scenes stories, and expert insight that could genuinely change how you experience your wedding day — not just how it looks in photos.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we’re joined by Kimberley from Little Wedding Creche to talk honestly about one of the most overlooked parts of wedding planning: children. From toddlers and babies to teenagers and children with additional needs, Kimberley shares what really goes into creating safe, enjoyable, and stress-free weddings for families — and why couples often don’t realise the risks until the last minute.

The conversation dives deep into the realities of venues, changing regulations, health and safety concerns, and why “just getting someone to watch the kids” can be a serious mistake. Kimberley explains what couples should be checking, asking, and planning for — from insurance and ratios to food safety and venue layouts — and how proper childcare can completely change the experience for both parents and guests.

With wedding laws potentially changing and ceremonies becoming more flexible, this episode is essential listening for couples planning ahead. If you’re having children at your wedding — or even thinking about it — this honest, eye-opening conversation will help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure everyone enjoys the day for the right reasons.

Lee and Alex dive head-first into one of the most uncomfortable conversations in the wedding industry: supplier awards.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we’re joined by Bailey from Married at First Sight UK as he opens up about what really happened on the show — beyond the edits, the dinner parties, and the headlines. From being approached for the experiment to walking down the aisle to a stranger, Bailey shares the emotional reality of the wedding day, the intense pressure of filming, and how quickly things can change when the cameras are rolling.

Bailey speaks candidly about the moments viewers didn’t see, how the edit can shape public perception, and why the wedding day itself was the toughest part of the entire experience. He also reflects on falling into the experiment with his heart on his sleeve, navigating conflict in front of the group, and how the honeymoon felt like a completely different love story to what came before  and after.

Now single and stepping back into the dating world, Bailey talks honestly about life after MAFS, men’s mental health, public recognition, and why the show hasn’t put him off love or marriage. It’s an open, unfiltered conversation about vulnerability, growth, and what happens when reality TV meets real emotions.

In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we sit down with legendary wedding photographer Simon Pope, a man with over three decades of experience, thousands of weddings behind him, and more unbelievable stories than you could fit in a photo album. From photographing the same groom twice to stepping in with only one hour’s notice after another photographer didn’t show up, Simon pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind the lens on a wedding day. His honesty, humor and no-nonsense insight reveal the pressure, the passion and the unpredictable madness of capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Simon shares the secrets of what makes a truly great photographer, why experience matters more than ever, and the hilarious (and sometimes awkward) moments he’s witnessed including drunk strangers crashing weddings, guests turning up at the wrong ceremony, and the tiny details he manages to catch that others miss. Whether you’re a bride, groom, supplier, or just love wedding chaos, this conversation shows the industry through the eyes of someone who’s lived it all.

Get ready for laughs, surprises, and expert advice as Simon explains what couples should ask their photographer, why backups are essential, and why being “present” is the real key to great wedding imagery. This episode is a must-watch for anyone planning a wedding or anyone who just wants to hear outrageous stories from a man who’s truly seen it all.

This week Sharon accidentally FaceTimes her co-host, DJ Lee Russel, while dressed head-to-toe in a full-on beekeeper outfit on her way to the chemist, no less. 

From there, the chaos only grows as she’s joined by Love Triangle UK’s Acer Peach, who opens up about life on reality TV, dating disasters, and what really goes on behind the scenes when the cameras stop rolling. 

They talk everything from faking orgasms and blue ticks to ADHD, autism, and finding real love in a world obsessed with filters and followers. Expect laughs, honesty, and a few too many innuendos (you’ve been warned). 

Whether you’re a bride-to-be, a hopeless romantic, or just here for the mayhem, this one’s got it all bee suits, banter, and brutally real dating confessions.

The 2026 bridal trends are here and they’re anything but quiet. From dramatic long trains to bold prints, drop waists, puff sleeves and detachable skirts, this week’s episode dives headfirst into the Brave Bride Era. Sharon and Holly from Blank Canvas spill on everything hitting the bridal runways for next season and the hilarious realities that come with wearing them. Expect laughs, chaos, and some very honest “auntie” advice about what really happens when you don’t get that bustle loop right.

We’re talking crumb-catcher necklines (yes, that’s a thing), Victorian-inspired fabrics, and why brides need to stop kicking their trains. Plus, Sharon relives some truly wild boutique stories from thongs doubling as bustle loops to below-deck yacht antics and Bacardi-fuelled dress disasters.

If you’re a bride-to-be, a stylist, or just love the drama of a good wedding story, this is your go-to guide to all things bold, boned, and beautifully unhinged in the world of 2026 bridal fashion. Grab a cocktail (maybe not a Bacardi), hit play, and join the mayhem.

Grab your knickers (all three pairs) and join us for the mayhem!

Weddings might sound glamorous… until you realise it involves steaming disasters, granny knickers, lipstick stains, and even the occasional fly poop. 
 
In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we dive into the chaos of fittings, alterations, and all the unexpected dramas that brides and boutiques face behind the scenes. From bridesmaids sneaking their ironing into the steamer, to dresses being abandoned in the car boot, to seamstresses saving the day after last-minute body changes nothing is off limits. 
 
We’re spilling the hilarious, sometimes horrifying, truths about what really happens when you say “yes” to the dress and beyond. If you’re planning a wedding (or just love the madness), this episode is packed with funny stories, practical tips, and the kind of bridal secrets no glossy magazine will tell you.
