Cut the Cake
Welcome to the Cut The Cake Podcast, where we are here to help you navigate the wonderful, yet sometimes overwhelming, world of wedding planning.
In this podcast you'll go behind the scenes on the wedding industry with us, Melanie and Tania, two wedding-obsessed girls from Melbourne, Australia. With over 20 years of combined experience in the wedding and events industry, we bring you no-nonsense advice, industry secrets, and plenty of laughs along the way.
Melanie, the coffee-loving, fun-obsessed wedding planner, stylist, and coordinator, will be your go-to for all things weddings. While Tania, the creative director and expert in design, will bring your wedding day vision to life through beautiful stationery and signage.
Together, we'll tackle hot wedding topics, have informal and fun chats with leading wedding vendors, and share insights and answers to all your burning wedding questions. No BS, just real talk about planning and enjoying your special day.
So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, elbow deep in a tub of ice cream, and in need of some wedding intel, subscribe to Cut the Cake on your favourited streaming platform. And don't forget to slide into our DMs on Instagram @cutthecakepodcast or email us at hello@cutthecake.com.au with all your burning wedding questions.
