    S1 E24 - Clifftops, Celebrities & Cameras Inside Bali's Luxury Weddings

    In this episode, we sit down with two incredible creatives from the Bali wedding industry. We’re joined by Sasha from The Ungasan Clifftop Resort and Yudis from The Soul Social Creator for a candid chat about life, weddings, and everything that happens behind the scenes. We talk about how they each found their way into the wedding and creative industry in Bali, what their journeys looked like, and what keeps them inspired in such a fast-paced environment. They share their favourite weddings to date, memorable moments, and some of the real behind-the-scenes drama that couples never see. We also dive into the growing world of wedding content creation and ask Yudis to break down the difference between a traditional videographer and a content creator, what each brings to a wedding day, and how couples can decide what’s right for them. If you’re planning a Bali wedding or just love hearing honest stories from inside the industry, this episode is full of insight, laughs, and real talk. 🎧 Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at Bali weddings from the people who live it every day.

    S1 E23/1 - Meet the Team: Leah & Monthly Recap - Chaos, Cough Syrup & Client Rants

    This one’s a big one - literally. We’re back after a short break with a double episode full of catch-ups, chaos, and way too much candid talk. It’s been a wild few weeks at Bali Brides… The team’s been hit with every sickness under the sun, hospital visits for both us and the teams kids, and a flu season that didn’t hold back. But weddings don’t stop, so what happens when your whole team’s sick and you’ve still got events to run? We get real about that. Tristan also managed to sneak off to Komodo for her birthday - only to spend it sick in bed (classic). Then little Christian ended up in hospital, because apparently we can’t catch a break. So grab a drink, get cozy on the couch, and get to know us a little better. In this episode (Part One & Two): What we do when we’re sick but still have weddings to run Britta’s rant about clients skipping the process (book your calls, people!) Why we’re planners, not your mums How we qualify clients we work with (spoiler: we don’t take everyone) A note to all the AI-using couples - ChatGPT won’t write your love story for you “You get the effort you give” - the golden rule for enquiries Why going over budget isn’t our fault when you pick the expensive stuff Bossy clients, boundaries, and why we take weekends off Why client involvement matters (and what happens when you go MIA) New systems and training rolling out to level up our client experience What a “remote planner” actually is and how it works Our fave weddings from the past two months Tristan’s current girl crush Leah’s journey with Bali Brides and how she found her groove It’s honest, messy, funny, and full of behind-the-scenes chaos. You’ll love it. Tristan Moy: @tristanbalibrides Britta Petersen: @britta_balibrides Bali Brides: @balibridesau & @balibridesteam www.balibrides.com.au

    S1 E22 - Wedding Day Flow: How Real Planners Time It Perfectly

    In this episode of Unveiled by Bali Brides, Tristan and Britta pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood parts of wedding planning - the run sheet. You’ll find out why timelines are one of the last things your planner works on, what actually goes into them, and how they can make or break the flow of your day. We talk about: When your planner starts working on your timeline (and why it’s not early!) What your planner handles vs. what you’ll need to decide How detailed a run sheet really is and why it’s more flexible than you think Why early ceremonies are not the vibe (cue fainting guests, sweaty groomsmen, and no bar service yet) What happens to your guests when you start too early (spoiler: they end up very drunk) Why we plan your timeline around golden hour and how it sets up perfect photos and a dreamy dinner Why trusting your planner is key, we’re the ones managing chaos behind the scenes The hidden stress your planner feels when timelines go off-track (and how we quietly fix it) What happens when things go wrong, supplier slip-ups, surprise performances, and clients going rogue How we handle “surprises” from family, drunk uncles, and well-meaning guests Plus: We share some of our favourite extra entertainment ideas if your budget allows - fireworks, magicians, live tattoos, photo booths, and more. And of course, Tristan relives her most chaotic on-the-day moment from the year a full-blown panic attack when the entertainment involved her worst nightmare… snakes. Takeaway: Run sheets aren’t just about structure they’re your safety net. Trust your planner, trust the process, and let us keep the magic flowing (and the chaos invisible).

    S1 E21 - How to Choose the Right Wedding Planner (and spot the Red Flags)

    Planning a wedding is exciting but choosing the wrong planner can make or break your big day. In this episode, Tristan dives into how wedding planning has evolved since she planned her own wedding back in 2010, and why technology and AI are now game changers in the industry. We talk about the true cost of a wedding planner, what systems we use to support our couples, and even test our 24/7 AI assistant live on air. We’ll cover what questions to ask before hiring, the red flags to watch for, and why trust and connection matter more than fast replies. We also unpack industry issues like planners misrepresenting themselves online, the importance of checking legal registration, and why having a planner who can coordinate and problem-solve on the spot is non-negotiable. We answer common questions like whether you need to tip your planner or suppliers, why it’s okay to fire a planner who isn’t working out, and how to make sure the photos you see actually come from their weddings. Plus, we share who we personally trust in the industry and why. How wedding planning has changed since 2010 AI and tech in weddings today – including our 24/7 AI assistant demo What really goes into the cost of a wedding planner Key questions to ask before hiring Red flags when looking for a planner The risks of planners lying online with no experience Why problem-solving and coordination skills matter Do you need to tip your planner and suppliers? Why trust and personal connection is key Fast answers vs. thoughtful advice Why it’s okay to fire your planner if things aren’t working Trusted wedding planners we recommendHow to check if a planner is legally registered and using real wedding photos Tristan Moy: @tristanbalibridesBritta Petersen: @britta_balibridesBali Brides: @balibridesau & @balibridesteamwww.balibrides.com.au

    S1 E19 - Monthly Recap: Featuring 'The Boys'

    This month, Tristan and Britta sits down with Robby and Ryan for a raw, unfiltered recap of what really goes down behind the scenes of Bali weddings. From stationery nightmares to hotel “rules” that make zero sense, this is one for anyone curious about the reality of pulling off dream weddings on the island. Here’s what we cover: How Robby and Ryan joined the Bali Brides team (and why showing up is everything — Robby just started coming into the office until we gave him a job) Their favourite wedding moments (and most traumatic ones they still talk about) Tristan’s worst-ever client, and why deadlines actually matter Abusing the team = not tolerated. The time we nearly walked out mid-wedding. Stationery: why it’s so damn time consuming and how last-minute requests derail everything Office fun, penguin dances, and why Robby used to record Tristan’s meetings because she spoke so fast it felt like listening to the F1 How that pressure actually pushed Robby to improve his English lightning fast Rain stoppers: the skeptics turned believers The stress of venues with rigging requirements, floating stages, and when you can’t install marquees where you actually need them Rainy season madness: full-day downpours that clear right before the vows (Bali magic, or what?) Hotel rules that make planners lose sleep, from hard loading to “silly restrictions” Guests who overstep: why you really should let planners do their job Why Bali Brides always hires our own security, and how stressed we get when things don’t go as planned Why Listen If you want the unfiltered, hilarious, and sometimes stressful truth about what it takes to deliver Bali weddings, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with insider knowledge, laugh at the chaos, and maybe even cry when you realise how much love and sweat goes into making your day perfect.
