WedShed: Amy Parfett Next Generation Innovators Podcast

    • Entrepreneurship

If Amy Parfett, the Co-Founder of wedding start-up, WedShed, has her way, the 'bridezilla' archetype will be no longer. The spark for WedShed was ignited when a close friend’s wedding venue shut down just weeks before her big day. Amy and her Co-Founder, Melany McBride, jumped online assuming there would be no shortage of resources to help solve the problem, but instead what they found was a perfect gap in the market they could fill. Five years on, WedShed has been described as the ‘AirBnB for weddings’ and has cemented its place in the wedding industry. Here, Amy shares how WedShed built a thriving community of like-minded wedding businesses, is supporting drought-affected farmers, and has helped hundreds of thousands of people create their dream weddings.
