Weddings Unfiltered

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. Thanks for being part of the ride we seriously couldn’t do it without you.

So grab a glass (of wine, coffee, or tequila—no judgment) and help us toast to 7 months of unfiltered magic.

Description:

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

This week, we’re exploring the art of disagreeing and why it might be the secret sauce to deeper relationships, stronger businesses, and better boundaries.

From planning stress and vendor miscommunication to social media hot takes and family pressure, we’re talking about how to:

💬 Handle conflict with honesty and grace

💬 Create space for all voices (even when you don’t agree)

💬 Turn “ugh, not this again” into “wait, we’re growing here”

💬 And why winning the argument isn’t the goal connection is

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking “WTF just happened?”, this one’s for you.

Tune in for real talk, shared stories, and practical tools to help you disagree better and build something stronger because of it.

Three topics. Five minutes each. Zero chill.

In this quick-fire episode, we each get just five minutes to sound off on a wedding topic we’re seriously passionate about and you already know we didn’t hold back.

💥 Lisa shares why vendor meals aren’t just polite they’re essential.

💥Shelby questions all the “rules” the wedding industry made up and why it’s time to break them.

💥 Jess makes a case for planning your day your way not for your guests.

It’s honest, hilarious, and full of mic-drop moments for couples and vendors alike. Tune in for a fast-paced episode that delivers the real talk you didn’t know you needed.

What would your wedding look like if you had no budget, dream vendors on speed dial, and 20 seconds to make every decision? 👀

This week, we’re throwing the rulebook out the window and diving headfirst into some full-blown fantasy wedding chaos. Shelby’s bringing the prompts, and Jess + Lisa are put on the spot to plan their ultimate “what if?” wedding day right here in Perth.

We’re talking iconic venues, wild vendor picks, bold outfit choices, and split-second decisions that’ll have you laughing the whole way through.

Whether you’re planning your first “I do,” dreaming of a re-do, or just here for the laughs, this one’s fun, fast, and full of inspo. Let’s get unfiltered, baby. 🥂💍

Are weddings still about love and meaning… or are we all just chasing trends? 👀

The trio is back at the mic—but with a twist! Lisa takes the host seat and puts Jess and Shelby in the hot chair to unpack how weddings have changed over the years.

From emotional, intimate celebrations to curated, content-driven spectacles, they’re spilling all the tea on:

- Whether weddings have gotten better—or just more aesthetic

- What social media is doing to your big day (and your sanity)

- If we’re planning for us, or performing for everyone else

Why it feels harder than ever to keep things meaningful

And what they really miss about weddings "back in the day"

Whether you're newly engaged, married AF, or just here for the drama and dance floors, this episode dives deep into the heart (and hashtag) of modern weddings.

Grab a drink, press play, and prepare to question everything.

Spoiler alert: absolutely not! A wedding DJ is so much more than an upgraded Spotify playlist and if you want a night that actually feels like a celebration (not a snoozefest), this episode is a must-listen.

We’re sitting down with Brody from Southern Sky Events to break down the real magic behind the booth how DJs read the room, manage the timeline, coordinate with vendors, and keep the dance floor lit from first dance to final song.

Plus, we’re serving up wild behind-the-scenes stories, unexpected moments, and the kind of chaos that proves a good DJ doesn’t just play music they run the damn reception!

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.

Joining the mic is the wildly talented Hayley, a professional wedding videographer who’s spent years turning love stories into cinematic gold. And co-host Shelby? She’s coming in hot from the other side of the lens as a wedding content creator.

So… are these two roles really that different? Do you need both? And what should couples actually be asking before they book?

Together, they unpack:

- What makes each role unique (and why it matters)

- Where the confusion starts and how to avoid it

- The real pros and potential pitfalls of each style

- How the wedding industry is shifting… fast

This isn’t a battle, it's a bold, honest convo that every couple (and vendor) needs to hear. Because the more you know, the better you book.
