    S04, E16: We chat party starting tips with Tim the DJ

    On this episode of Project Engaged we’re interrogating the competition! Only kidding! Our guest is actually a good friend of ours and all-round legend, Tim the DJ!
    He’s one of the highest energy vendors we know. As well as DJing, he also plays the sax! One squiz at his Instagram and you’ll very quickly see what we mean by high energy. 
    Tim attracts similar couples to us - so much so, we pass on enquiries that we’re not available for and vice versa. 
    In the next hour or so, we’ll hear more about Tim and chat to him about the must-have ingredients for a great party.
    We had such a fun time chatting with Tim so hope you enjoy listening!

    S04, E15: First half of 2024 wrapped up!

    S04, E15: First half of 2024 wrapped up!

    We are wrapping up the first half of 2024 weddings in this episode of Project Engaged!
    We haven’t done our weekend wrap ups in a while so today we’re going to do one huge one for the first half of the year.
    Obviously there are too many weddings to talk about, so instead we’re going to pick out some fun highlights to hopefully give you some inspiration for your own wedding planning. Or if you’re a wedding vendor, it may give you some ideas for fun ideas to introduce to your clients.
    We hope you enjoy and maybe get a new cheeky little ideas for your own wedding!

    Chatting with "One Woman Show", Renee the Celebrant

    Talk about non-traditional weddings! On today's episode, we are chatting with the absolute master of alternative weddings, Renee the Celebrant!
     
    In her own words, Renee is "really shakin' shit up"! She's all about helping couples design a wedding that truly reflects them, while hopefully re-thinking some old, pale, stale traditions along the way.
     
    Beyond a celebrant, Renee is actually a triple threat "One Woman Show" - Celebrant - MC and DJ.
     
    Renee's got a couple of exciting projects and chats to us about trends she's seeing in weddings she's involved with.
     
    We hope you enjoy this episode! We had a blast recording it!

    Everything you need to know about your key moment songs

    Everything you need to know about your key moment songs

    On this episode of Project Engaged we are chatting all about the key moment songs for your wedding.
    No matter how non-traditional, all weddings - whether a large sit down or a more relaxed cocktail style - will have key moments throughout the day. These key moments all need epic music choices. Have you ever watched a cake cutting in silence? Awkward…
    In this podcast, we (Aleks and Eddy) discuss:
    Which key moments will require music
    What to consider when picking tunes for these moments
    Some insider tips based on our experience of DJing at weddings and working with couples on their timings and music briefs.
    Couples planning their weddings can really use these key moments to put their music stamp on their day, hype up the crowd and signal that it’s time to party!
    We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!

    Stationery, signage (and more!) with The Event Wanderer Co

    Stationery, signage (and more!) with The Event Wanderer Co

    On this episode of Project Engaged, we’re chatting to Tania, aka The Event Wanderer, which is all about epic wedding stationery, signage and accessories.
    Having spent over 15 years working in various roles across large, small and even international events, she knows the stress and chaos that can manifest when planning any form of celebration, especially when it’s one that’s as deeply personal as a wedding.
    But she also is a big believer that with the right vendors on hand, wedding planning can be enjoyable.
    We hope you enjoy our conversation with Tania!

    What sound equipment will you need for your wedding?

    What sound equipment will you need for your wedding?

    In this episode of Project Engaged Eddy and Aleks chat about sound equipment at weddings.
    We try our very best to keep it as simple as we can and chat through what sound equipment a typical DJ brings to a wedding and any additional equipment that may be needed (such as a speaker for a ceremony if it's in a different area).
    We are often asked "what we come with" so we thought we'd spill the beans!

Thank You!

Thank you Eddy and Aleks! As a new/establishing celebrant your podcast is so helpful and really making me feel more confident to get my business started very soon. The episodes where you share your tips/processes are not only helping me through my assessment pieces and my own planning/tool development but I know I can come back and re-listen along the way to feel even more prepared to meet with prospects for the first time.
Keep up the amazing work and I agree, ‘No More Nutbush’ 😆
