Wedding Favours is the podcast that lifts the lid on what really goes into planning a wedding. Each week, host Ollie Stephens chats with photographers, florists, planners, musicians, and real couples to share practical insights, industry secrets, and honest stories about the highs and lows of wedding planning.

Music is a huge part of any wedding, so we also explore how live performers can transform your day. From booking an acoustic wedding singer
or guitarist for wedding ceremonies
to hiring Devon wedding bands
or other wedding musicians in the South West
, you’ll find advice and inspiration for every style of celebration. A great wedding singer in Devon
can add atmosphere, emotion, and energy to your big day - from the ceremony right through to the evening party.
Whether you’re newly engaged or just weeks away from walking down the aisle, Wedding Favours is here to help you plan with confidence, laugh along the way, and create a day that truly reflects who you are as a couple.

Ep 2 Jade Cockerill - Ivyhouse Photography
Episode 2: Finding the Right Photographer - with Jade from Ivy House Photography
This was my very first podcast interview, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous at the start. Thankfully, Jade’s calm, professional, and down-to-earth nature made it easy to relax - which says so much about the energy she brings to a wedding day.
Before we hit record, Jade was even singing along while the cameras were being set up. That light-hearted, joyful presence is exactly what you want from someone who’ll be with you for most of your celebration.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Why connection and communication with your photographer matter so much
- How Jade helps couples feel calm, confident, and natural in front of the lens
- The importance of honest conversations, trust, and managing expectations
- Why your “dream team” of suppliers - from photographers to wedding singers in Devon - can transform your big day
- How Jade blends a relaxed documentary style with editorial touches to capture authentic, magical moments
If you’re planning your wedding, think about the overall atmosphere you’d love to create. Alongside stunning photos, live music from an acoustic wedding singer
or acoustic guitarist for weddings can make your ceremony and reception even more memorable. For couples searching for wedding bands in Devon or a versatile Devon wedding singer, you’ll find plenty of inspiration at thedevonweddingsinger.co.uk.
