On this episode of Project Engaged we are talking about a topic that we haven’t yet covered in our three seasons, so we’re really excited to learn more!

For this episode, we are chatting with Brit Stevens, who is behind the State of Reverie brand.

State of Reverie provides designer wedding invitations, stationery and signage. And even wedding websites!

Here’s a review from a happy client: “Brit was an absolute legend and a pleasure to work with creating our custom website. She was patient, thorough and attended to changes quickly and efficiently. We have had so many compliments on the finished product from our guests and can't wait to see the remainder of our wedding stationery in person.”

We love when a couple puts their own stamp on their day and this is exactly what we’ll be chatting to Brit about.

We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!

There is SO MUCH good music around and so many factors to consider when hand-picking tunes for a function. Often you have a mixed demographic with different ages, backgrounds and music tastes. Some people love to dance and some need a little more encouragement. How do Eddy and Aleks go about selecting what to play?

In this podcast, we shgare an insight into how she chooses music, including pre-gig and of course, throughout the night!

On this episode we talk all things live music for your wedding with Wendy from Wendybird Music!

We’ve had the pleasure of seeing Wendy live and she has an incredible voice and is clearly very passionate about music. Wendybird Music offers highly customisable live music options where Wendy and her musician buddies can perform as a duo, trio, quartet and five piece. 

Although we are DJs, we absolutely LOVE live acoustic music for pre-ceremony arrival, ceremony key moments and cocktail hour. What a vibe!

On this episode, we chat to Wendy about how she works with couples in the lead up, hot tips for briefing your acoustic artist and choosing ceremony songs, and an insider look into how Wendy and her musicians work (we were fascinated to learn that they “read the crowd” just like us DJs do!).

On this episode, we chat to Jen and Caitlin who are the Event Managers at Post Office Hotel Events in Coburg, Melbourne. The venue right up the road from us and there are so many things we love about it!

Let’s start with the fact that the venue is attached to a pub and you basically get your own private beer garden. Other things to mention are the food is delicious, the staff is wonderful, the space is super versatile and most importantly - it’s just such a relaxed party vibe, which is what we’re all about!

In this podcast, we chat all things weddings with Jen and Caitlin including how the venue works, the types of couples it attracts and they also provide some pearls of wisdom on planning a relaxed and fun wedding!

Post Office Hotel is holding an open day this Sunday, the 18th of September, which we're super excited to be a part of. You can get free tickets through their website (google Post Office Hotel Weddings) or via their Instagram account (@pohevents).

In Episode 18 we chat to one of our lovely couples for our second "Couple Insights" episode!

We're very excited to be chatting to one of our lovely couples for our second "Couple Insights" episode!

Jelena (aka Jel) and Tim got married in what could only be described as a picture perfect wedding. Not only was it in 2019 BC (before COVID), but it was at the stunning Euroa Butter Factory on a warm summer's day and styled to absolute perfection!

Jel and Tim came to us through their planner and stylist Laura from Wanderlust Creative. We provided a brass trio as well as DJ (Aleks Mac) to cover music all day from pre-ceremony drinks right through to the final song. As it was quite early in the business, both Eddy and Aleks worked with the couple early in the process, with me taking over as their DJ. It was quite a long lead time as the guys were super organised and booked in their big ticket items early.

In this episode, we chat to them about how they planned their dream wedding, lessons learnt and any tips they have for suppliers!
