In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by wedding business expert Kelly Mortimer along with Chris Goodchild and Julie Twig from The Best Magic Mirrors for a lively conversation about what couples really need to know when booking wedding suppliers. 

From Kelly’s experience working with luxury brands, celebrity clients and even royal events, to Chris and Julie’s insight into creating a premium photo booth experience, this episode lifts the lid on what goes on behind the scenes in the wedding industry and why the cheapest option is not always the best one.

Chris shares the brilliant story of how one disappointing photo booth experience at a wedding inspired him to build a luxury alternative, while Julie explains what it’s like to grow within the franchise and create a five-star guest experience for couples across multiple territories. 

Together, they reveal why details like backup plans, customer service, styling, transparency and technology matter so much, and how couples can better spot suppliers who truly care about delivering on the day. There’s also plenty of fun along the way, including hilarious wedding stories, honest business chat and a look at how The Best Magic Mirrors has expanded into audio guestbooks, virtual experiences and new roaming photo tech.

It’s a brilliant episode for couples planning their wedding, as well as suppliers looking to improve the way they serve their clients. Expect real talk on hidden costs, booking mistakes, guest experience, premium service and why the people behind the business matter just as much as the product itself.
