  • Episode 15: Real Couples Series - One Year Later: Matt & Julia's Two-Part Wedding Story
    Jun 28 2026

    Matt and Julia skipped the big party on their wedding day. They kept it small, intimate, and exactly what they wanted on a family property surrounded by the people who mattered most. Then, one year later, they threw the reception. We're talking to this Buffalo couple about what it's like to split your wedding into two chapters, why they did it, and whether they'd do it the same way all over again.

  • Episode 14: Assigned Seats, Cash Bars, and Nobody Knows When to Sit Down
    Jun 19 2026

    Open bar or cash bar? Seating chart or survival of the fittest? And why is half the room still standing when the bride is already at the altar? Ron has opinions, and he's not keeping them to himself.

  • Episode 13: The biggest price tags on your wedding day venue and photography.
    Jun 11 2026

    Wedding budgets are one of the most stressful parts of planning a wedding, and most couples go into it with no idea where to start, what things actually cost, or where they can afford to cut corners and where they absolutely cannot.In this episode, we are sitting down with Morgan from the Pearl Street Family of Venues and Alexandria from Photos by Alexandra to have an honest conversation about wedding budgets from two of the most important vendor perspectives — the venue and the photographer.


    We are getting into what couples should realistically expect to spend, how to prioritize your budget when you cannot do everything, what questions you should be asking vendors before you book, and the mistakes couples make that end up costing them more in the long run.


    Two vendors. Two completely different parts of your wedding day. One conversation about the money stuff nobody wants to talk about but everybody needs to hear.
