Wedding Mayhem: Wedding Tips, Supplier Advice, Real Stories & What No One Tells You
Welcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry. Also available on YouTube as a full studio broadcast.
Hosted by Sharon Underwood, bridal boutique owner with over 25 years in the industry, this is where real weddings are talked about honestly not just the polished version you see online.
From emotional moments to things that don’t quite go to plan, Sharon shares the truth about weddings with humour, experience, and a no-nonsense approach.
Each week, a different wedding supplier joins the show to share their top tips, expert advice, and what couples really need to know when booking for their wedding.
Each episode features candid conversations with wedding professionals from photographers and stylists to celebrants and content creators giving you insider knowledge and the things couples are rarely told.
Because let’s be honest… weddings aren’t always perfect and that’s where the magic (and the mayhem) happens.
Whether you’re planning your wedding, working in the industry, or just love a good behind-the-scenes story, Wedding Mayhem is here to help you feel informed, confident, and a little less overwhelmed.
