melbourne weddings

In this week’s episode we chat to Claudia and Andrew who got married at The Savoy on Little Collins St in the heart of Melbourne on Saturday, 4 February 2023.

Claudia’s niece Paulina initially reached out to enquire of their behalf about a DJ for their big day (including the ceremony) on the recommendation of their photographer, Meagan Brown (who we simply adore!).

The guest list included a large Latino demographic and people from all around the world so we were very excited for the prospect to spin a variety of tunes that wouldn’t ordinarily have the chance to otherwise.

Eddy had a blast for their wedding and it was so lovely to catch up with them again and reminisce about their special day.

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

Here’s what they said in their initial enquiry:

"Music is a massive part of each of our lives. For Lara she is a lover of many genres, some of her favourite artists ranging from Simon and Garfunkel to the Beatles to Arctic Monkeys to The Black Keys. 

For me [Nick] I also like to DJ (in my garage) and am a big fan of 80s, 90s, dance, breakbeats, garage, techno and trance. In between it all we have some huge crossover and shared musical love. For us we want to blend it all together and have an eclectic mix. Music is one of the most important elements of our wedding for us!"

Precious Celebrations
Elsa Campbell Photography
Pomp and Splendour
One More Song DJs (Eddy Mac)

We chat to Nick and Lara all about their engagement, planning process, their fave moments of the day and they provide some tips to couples planning their own wedding.

On this episode we chat to another wedding business duo, and we were so excited! It’s also the first time we’re talking about film too!

Caity and Duncan are a couple of wedding photographers and videographers based in Melbourne (who also happen to be a couple!). Aleks had the pleasure of working with them on a really fun North Fitzroy wedding earlier this year. As Aleks was involved in the ceremony they spent all day together and she was struck by how warm and friendly they both are. An absolute joy to be around.

We speak to the duo about how they got into weddings, their process and some of their awesome techniques which make them stand out from the crowd!

Here’s what our mutual client, Elise, had to say about Caity and Duncan on Google:

"Caity & Duncan are exceptional at their craft, and also really fun people to be around. I'm so happy they were our wedding photographers. I generally get uncomfortable in front of a camera, particularly posing. With Caity & Duncan, I was completely at ease and had a great time. They had me laughing while also looking my best - that's skill!

I've just received the sneak peek pictures, and they are gorgeous. They really reflect the emotion and feel of the day. I've had many people say how excellent they look - the colours, composition and beauty of the pics. I'm going to be recommending Caity & Duncan to all my mates."

We didn't speak about this on the poddy, but after it was recorded, also asked Caity and Duncan to tell us a little about their choice of music for their wedding films and this is what they said:

"All of our wedding films are curated to each couple, so no two wedding videos are ever the same. From the music to the colours and editing, everything is unique to the vibe of each couple - and they get to collaborate and make sure it's something that represents them (and doesn't make them cringe). We tend to think of our wedding films more like mini-movies, rather than traditional wedding videos."

We hope you enjoy listening to this poddy 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 Episode 5 of our wedding planning podcast, Project Engaged, we chat to the one and only Nikki McCrone, Melbourne wedding photographer extraordinaire!

We speak to Nikki about wedding trends we're seeing this year, how couples can find a photographer that fits their vibe, what to consider when picking a venue and some tips to inject fun into your wedding photography!

PS - if you want to understand Nikki's vibe, check out these snippets from her client Google reviews:

“It’s okay, you can stop looking for your wedding photographer, because Nikki is THE ONE. Nikki was not just a photographer to us - in fact, we want to adopt her so we can have her infectious energy and enthusiasm with us always. We will now be hiring her for all future life events that require a photographer.”

“We received the wedding photos a week before the proposed delivery date, and cried with joy at how beautiful they are, and how they so perfectly captured the beauty and atmosphere of the day!” 

“If you are considering Nikki McCrone as your photographer, if these wonderful Google reviews or a quick stalk of her Instagram doesn't convince you....then all it will take is your first phone call with her and you will be well and truly sold. Nikki is the absolute dream.”

We hope you enjoy this episode and get as much out of it as we did!

We are pumped to have our first guest for this new season and what a cracker of a guest we have lined up!

On this episode, we chat to celebrant Nat Sproal, a self-confessed no-BS melbourne celebrant who’s all about the heart and soul, rather than the frills and tradition.

Nat loves good tunes and is ALWAYS first on the dance floor!

Her style of delivering weddings is relaxed, natural and a little bit cheeky.

She says that stiff, formal, overly traditional weddings aren’t really her jam. Nat is so aligned with the types of weddings we love being involved in!

We’ve worked with Nat many times and always know it’s going to be a fun time when she’s officiating.

We chat to Nat about...

• Her celebranting style (in three words!).
• The sorts of couples Nat loves working with.
• The types of advice she provides to couples about how to choose awesome wedding suppliers.
• How she works with couples from first enquiry through to pronouncing them officially married.
• Some of her tips for keeping the ceremony fun and light.
• The role music plays at the ceremony.
• Nat's number one piece of advice is for dealing with nerves on the big day!

Phew!

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