    068. What makes a featured wedding?

    In this episode, Timothy and Matt discuss what makes a wedding featured in bridal magazines and directories. They emphasize that being featured is not the goal when planning a wedding, but rather a byproduct of the hard work and unique elements that make a wedding special. They highlight the importance of vendors, including photographers, florists, stylists, and planners, in creating a featured wedding.

    They also discuss the role of the venue and the overall aesthetic and personal touches that contribute to a wedding being featured. The hosts stress the subjective nature of the submission process and the importance of showcasing the entire day, from preparation to reception, in the submission. They conclude by reminding couples that being featured is not the ultimate measure of a successful wedding, but rather the joy and memories created on the day.

Epic insights from wedding industry insiders

Really enjoyed listening to this podcast in the lead up to my wedding!

Donna Bellgardt ,

This podcast is… EPIC.

So incredibly grateful that the industry masterminds Tim & Matt have combined forces to bring us this podcast! Vendor or couple a-like this is a MUST listen!! As a vendor myself I love feeling like I’ve jumped on a call with two mates to discuss all things relevant to our world & appreciate the community they’ve created online, as it’s not always something we get in person. Knowledgable, thought provoking & lots of laughs through out!
Well done lads!! A big heartfelt thank you for doing what you do!

A Must listen!

I absolutely love the Make It Epic Wedding Podcast! The two pelicans behind it are simply fantastic, and their dedication to sharing valuable knowledge is truly commendable. The interviews with co-hosts and featured speakers are always insightful and engaging, offering a diverse range of perspectives. What sets this podcast apart is their genuine desire to help others shine and succeed. Instead of keeping their expertise to themselves, they generously share their knowledge to empower everyone, making the wedding experience extraordinary for all couples, regardless of whether they book their services or choose other vendors. Their inclusive and encouraging approach creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in creating an epic wedding. Highly recommended!
