Knot Your Average Wedding Podcast is honest wedding planning advice from both sides of the aisle. Hosted by wedding planner Precious from Green Lily Events and Sean (known as Mr RG) from Green Lily Bars, this podcast pulls back the curtain on what actually makes a wedding work – and what simply adds stress. Each week we tackle the real questions couples face when planning a wedding: budgets, guest lists, suppliers, timelines, family dynamics, and the pressure to create a “perfect” day. Expect practical advice, industry insights, and candid conversations that challenge the myths surrounding modern weddings. Featuring recurring segments including Unknot This, The Knot Inbox, and Planner vs Bar Boss, we share lessons from years of working behind the scenes at weddings of every size – from intimate celebrations to large scale events. No fluff. No judgement. Just clarity over chaos. If you're engaged, planning a wedding, or simply curious about what really happens behind the scenes, you're in the right place.
