Customer Reviews
Fun and informative
My all time favorite podcast! As a planner in the Midwest for 10+ years I am obsessed with this podcast. It feels like I’m listening to a few industry friends and I can’t believe how refreshing it is to be able to relate to them and learn from them at the same time. Keep up the great job you two!
Thank you!!
I’ve been binge listening to this podcast all week long! I had been searching for a toolkit from experienced planners at a high-end level for months and eventually came across Wedded. I can’t get enough of this podcast and love all of the resources available on their shop for purchase. I feel SO much more confident starting my new event planning business knowing that I have the Wedded tools to elevate my client expereince. Thank you!
Finally, a GREAT podcast for wedding pros!
If you're a bride in the midst of planning your wedding or a vendor in the wedding industry, look no further! I recently stumbled upon a wedding podcast that has been so insightful and relatable. The hosts are real and extremely knowledgeable. They cover a wide range of topics, from budgeting and vendor selection to dealing with wedding logistics, and navigating all dynamics involved when it comes to planning. Their advice is invaluable. After a recent move to the east coast, these episodes have been a great resource for me to get to know this region’s wedding industry. I highly recommend this podcast to all industry pros,
