In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we’re joined by Kimberley from Little Wedding Creche to talk honestly about one of the most overlooked parts of wedding planning: children. From toddlers and babies to teenagers and children with additional needs, Kimberley shares what really goes into creating safe, enjoyable, and stress-free weddings for families — and why couples often don’t realise the risks until the last minute.

The conversation dives deep into the realities of venues, changing regulations, health and safety concerns, and why “just getting someone to watch the kids” can be a serious mistake. Kimberley explains what couples should be checking, asking, and planning for — from insurance and ratios to food safety and venue layouts — and how proper childcare can completely change the experience for both parents and guests.

With wedding laws potentially changing and ceremonies becoming more flexible, this episode is essential listening for couples planning ahead. If you’re having children at your wedding — or even thinking about it — this honest, eye-opening conversation will help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure everyone enjoys the day for the right reasons.
