Welcome to Handled, a wedding planning podcast for modern couples who want more than checklists and timelines. Hosted by Alyson Thompson—Chicago-based wedding planner, bride-to-be, and founder of Birdcage and Blushers Weddings—this show explores both the how and the heart behind getting married.

Each episode blends real talk and reflection to support you through the emotional, logistical, and very human side of planning a wedding. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to say, “yes, that’s normal”—you’re in the right place.

Follow now and get ready to plan with more clarity, more calm, and a whole lot more support.

✨ Let’s stay connected
