After years of planning weddings and events, Megan and Jen have figured out which rules matter most and they are not budging. In this episode, they dive into the non-negotiables of wedding planning: the details that make or break an event, the mistakes couples should avoid, and the standards they will always defend. If you are planning a wedding and wondering what is really worth it (and what is not), this episode is packed with honest advice, expert tips, and strong opinions.

This week, travel talk is back as Megan takes us on a journey back to Jamaica

Join us as she shares her family vacation to Beaches Negril on the famous Seven Mile Beach, one of the top all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica. From stunning Caribbean beaches and unforgettable sunset views to unexpected travel mishaps and family adventures, this trip had it all. We talk about Beaches handled the bumps with care, why going with the flow is key when traveling, and how even a perfectly imperfect vacation can create unforgettable family memories. If you’re planning a trip to Beaches Negril or just love real stories about family travel, this episode is for you!

This week we’re diving into one of the biggest wedding guest debates: kids or no kids? We break down the pros and cons of having little ones at your wedding, how to figure out if your kids are actually invited, and what you should do (and plan for) if you decide to make your wedding kid-free. Whether you’re planning your own wedding or packing up the stroller for someone else’s big day, this episode has the tips, stories, and advice you need.

This week, we’re talking about the one thing you can’t control on your wedding day: the weather. From sudden storms to sweltering heat, we’ve seen it all—and we’re sharing our own weather disaster stories to prove it.

We’ll cover what couples often forget when planning for outdoor ceremonies and receptions, why guest comfort should always come first (hint: no one wants to sit in 90-degree heat), and the practical steps you can take to weather-proof your wedding.

Whether you’re dreaming of a summer garden party, a lakeside celebration, or a cozy winter wedding, this episode is packed with tips to help you stay prepared and keep the day running smoothly, rain or shine.

Ever wonder what really goes on behind the scenes of a wedding? In this laugh-out-loud episode, two seasoned wedding planners spill the tea (and maybe a little champagne) on some of their most outrageous confessions from the job.

From sneaking sips of prosecco during the ceremony to shamelessly devouring the couple's untouched appetizers (look, someone had to eat them), no story is off-limits. Oh — and yes, one of us definitely had to poop in the bridal suite. You'll have to listen to find out who.

It’s unfiltered, a little unhinged, and 100% real. If you’ve ever thought wedding planning was all peonies and Pinterest boards... buckle up.

This week, we talk about… well, everything and nothing at all, which is basically our specialty.

We catch up on Megan’s time up north Wisconsin, one of Jen’s former make-out sessions, and why you should always walk up the hill when your boyfriend tells you to. (Spoiler: proposals happen on hills.) We get into upcoming travel plans, pooping on vacation, Groupon purchases, Mexican food cravings, and of course, JAMAICA! Come travel with us.

SPECIAL ALERT: If you’ve been thinking about advertising with us, now’s your moment. Get in at the basement level and grow with us because this elevator is going up.

So no, it’s not nothing. It’s everything. It's hilarious. And it’s very us. Press play.

This week, we’re joined by Jesse Lyon of Lyon Mental Health—a therapist, dream interpreter, and hilarious human who somehow made talking about the subconscious feel like a party. We get into the weird and wonderful world of wedding dreams (yes, those anxious ones with missing dresses and runaway grooms), including Megan’s cake dream that—spoiler alert—wasn't really about cake at all. Jesse breaks down what our dreams are trying to tell us during high-stress seasons like wedding planning, how therapy can help us navigate the chaos, and why he thinks your mental health team deserves a seat at the vendor table. It’s insightful, entertaining, and one of our favorite convos yet.
