Whether you’re deep in planning mode or just here for the real talk, this episode spills what actually makes or breaks a wedding night.

We’re unpacking the pressure couples face to plan the “perfect” party that keeps everyone happy—while still trying to create something that actually feels like them.

WTF do I post?! If you’ve ever screamed this into the void while trying to run your wedding biz and show up consistently on Instagram… same, babe. SAME. In this episode, Shelby wedding content creator and social media strategist is giving you the real BTS of using social media to actually book out your wedding business. This isn’t about going viral. It’s about creating content that speaks directly to the couples you want to work with, building trust in your DMs, and showing up online in a way that’s sustainable (and not soul-sucking).

We’re just gonna say it: your venue coordinator is not your wedding planner.😮‍💨 And while we’re at it your stylist doesn’t run your timeline, and your day-of coordinator isn’t there to design your tablescape. In this episode of Weddings Unfiltered, we’re getting real about the four major roles that make wedding magic happen: Wedding Planner Wedding Coordinator Wedding Stylist Venue Coordinator What’s the difference? Why does it matter? And can one person actually do it all? (Spoiler again: nope.) If you’re a couple who’s confused AF or a vendor who’s tired of wearing 12 hats you weren’t paid for, this one’s for you. We’re breaking it all down so everyone knows their lane—and weddings can actually run smoothly.

It’s unhinged. It’s hilarious. It’s a hot wedding mess. This week, we’re coming in zero chill with Shelby’s $2K scam story just TWO WEEKS before her wedding (yes, seriously), a chaotic wedding alphabet game, and a few spicy opinions about the garter toss (spoiler: we’re over it). We also talk bouquet toss regrets (Shelby has one), a tear-jerking twist we’re loving instead, and prepare yourselves Jess and Lisa have NEVER seen Mamma Mia. The betrayal! Come for the chaos, stay for the cackles. This one’s all fun, no filter.
