We’re joined by Tim & Lauren from Next Level Music & International Party Band
And this one is going to be LOUD… in the best way.
Between them, they’ve worked with some of the biggest names in music — from Rick Astley (who actually sang at their wedding… swoon 😍) to John Legend — so when it comes to booking a band and filling a dance floor, they truly know what they’re talking about.
They’re bringing in a decibel meter and we’re going to demonstrate exactly what 85dB through to 100dB actually sounds like. What do those numbers REALLY mean? What does a sound limiter actually feel like in real life? And how loud is “too loud” anyway?
If you’re planning a wedding at a venue with restrictions, this episode could completely change how you think about your entertainment.
But we don’t stop there…
Weddings are meant to be joyful, unforgettable celebrations — yet what no one tells you is just how much can (and often does) go wrong behind the scenes.
In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we pull back the curtain on the realities of wedding days. From unexpected behaviour and awkward moments, to supplier stress, family dynamics and the pressure couples feel to keep everything “perfect.”
We talk about:
Why entertainment becomes such a huge control point
Anxious brides (and yes… sometimes grooms too)
Why delegation feels so hard
What actually happens when you trust professionals and let go
Reading the room and protecting the couple’s moment
Through real stories, honest conversation and a few laugh-out-loud moments, we explore why weddings don’t always go to plan — and why that’s far more normal than Instagram would have you believe.
Because the truth?
Perfection is overrated.
Things will go wrong.
And the key to a brilliant wedding isn’t control — it’s trust, flexibility, and knowing you’re not alone when the mayhem kicks in.
If you’re planning a wedding (or working in the industry), this is a must-watch.
