What does it actually take to create the custom wedding signage and installations that stop guests in their tracks? In this episode of Wedding Day Podcast, host Sonja Babich, CEO of Iron Diamond Media, and co-host Alexis Sanabria, Editorial Director of Washington Wedding Day, sit down with Tamara Berndt, owner of Seattle-based On the Wall Design Studio, to explore the artistry, logistics and problem-solving behind today's most memorable wedding displays.

Known for her handcrafted installations and immersive event designs, Tamara shares how a lifelong passion for creating evolved from a side hustle into a thriving signage studio. From teaching herself woodworking and graphic design to continually refining her fabrication process, she explains how every custom piece begins with a couple's vision before becoming a functional work of art built specifically for their celebration.

The conversation also dives into the realities couples rarely see—from navigating venue constraints and transportation logistics to making last-minute pivots when unexpected challenges arise. Tamara reflects on balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood, the supportive community she's found within the wedding industry and why creating unforgettable guest experiences through thoughtful design continues to inspire her work.
