7 months in, and we finally did it! We brought the Unfiltered Gang together in real life. This episode is the inside scoop on our first-ever live event! What went down, what we felt, and why it lowkey changed everything. From champagne towers to an epic dance floor. We created the kind of night we’ve all been craving: pressure off, connection on. We’re talking champagne towers, good tunes, even better people, and the kind of vibe you can’t fake. No awkward small talk. No curated BS. Just real connection and a damn good time. If you missed it, this is your backstage pass. If you were there, you already know. Either way hit play and hear how we celebrated our 7th month birthday!

Okay, okay we get it. That cliffhanger was borderline cruel. And while we kind of apologise… how could we not leave you hanging when things got that wild? In this final chapter of Ellen’s wedding saga, we’re picking up right where we left off: moments after the dress broke... Shelby and Ellen had about three seconds to figure out a solution before full chaos kicked in. Picture a full-blown “WTF do we do now?” moment, with zero time to spare and a whole wedding ahead. Ellen might’ve looked calm on the outside (truly, hats off to her), but on the inside? Safe to say there was a bit of spiralling going on and fair enough! In this ep, we’re sharing: - The behind-the-scenes panic and quick thinking that got us through - Whether the wedding even went ahead?! - The emotional rollercoaster no one saw coming - And of course… a few laughs, a few tears, and a LOT of real talk This is the final chapter and it’s raw, hilarious, a little bit heart-warming and so damn relatable. If you’ve ever planned a wedding, helped run one, or survived one, you need to hear how this ends.

You asked, we listened and now, the moment you've all been waiting for is finally here! Ellen is back with us after her first jaw-dropping episode left listeners stunned and full of questions. What happened to the dress? Did it arrive in time? And how did the rest of the wedding unfold? In Part 2 of this before and after series, Ellen returns to tell the real story behind the day itself from behind-the-scenes to the unexpected support that helped her hold it all together. It’s honest, emotional, and at times hilariously unbelievable. Because even when things go wrong (like, really wrong), you can still have the best damn day and marry the love of your life.

Can you believe it’s been seven freaking months?! Because same, we’re kinda shook.! In this birthday edition of Weddings Unfiltered, we’re taking a moment to look back on where we started (hi, awkward mic moments), how far we’ve come, and everything we’ve learned along the way. We’re spilling: - The early episode chaos no one saw 👀 - The lessons that hit hard (and made us better) - Why we still get butterflies before we hit record - And what’s coming next for the pod 🎙️ If you’ve been here since day one or you’re brand new to The Unfiltered Gang, this one’s for YOU.

Description: What if a disagreement didn’t have to be a disaster?

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.

This week, we’re diving into one of the spiciest convos in weddings right now: videographers VS content creators.

Is your wedding really for you... or for everyone else? This week, we’re diving into one of the most controversial wedding questions: Whose day is it, anyway? 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. From sticky guest expectations and family opinions, to that internal battle between “we want a donut wall” and “what will people think?”, we’re keeping it real and helping you decide what truly matters when planning your big day. So pour a drink, ditch the guilt, and let’s talk about how to plan a wedding that reflects your love story without losing your mind (or your personality) in the process.

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 talking: - What to post to attract actual paying clients - How to stay consistent without burning out - DM tips to turn followers into booked couples - What not to waste your time on - Shelby’s fave strategies for turning followers into fans Whether you're a florist, photographer, planner or stylist this one’s for the vendors who are ready to make their content WORK for them. Press play and say goodbye to social media guesswork. You’re about to show up like the badass biz owner you are.

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.
