You know how it goes in wedding planning. Someone tells you emphatically, you have to do this, or whatever you do, do not do that. And some part of you thinks, noted but we’ll do what’s right for us.

This is one of those episodes.

Parts 1 and 2 of this series gave you the honest picture of love hires from the people who see them play out from first light to last song. And this episode, Part 3, is the practical part. 8 wedding vendor roles, what can go wrong when they are filled by someone without experience, who to consider booking instead at different price points, and if you are still going ahead with a love hire anyway, the specific steps to take before the day.

You’ll learn

• Why the timeline your MC has been given is a guide, not a command, and what they actually need to do before making a single announcement.
• The one DIY makeup product that can ruin your photos without anyone realising until it is too late.
• What a co-pilot ceremony is in Australia and why it’s the only legal path forward in Australia if your person is not an authorised celebrant, plus
• Why the DJ is one of the highest-risk love hire roles, and what to do if budget means a professional is not possible.
