Wedding planning is exciting… but what no one really talks about is how quickly things can go wrong. In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we’re diving into the reality behind the engagement buzz, from panic booking suppliers and signing contracts too fast, to wedding fairs, red flags, and expectations that don’t always match real life. If you’ve recently got engaged (especially over Christmas 👀), this is the episode you need to hear before you start spending money.
We share real stories from the wedding industry front line, including what couples often forget to ask, why “fully booked” doesn’t always mean what you think it means, and how excitement can lead to decisions that cost you time, stress, and sometimes thousands of pounds. This isn’t about scaremongering, it’s about helping you feel confident, prepared, and in control when planning your big day.
Whether you’re newly engaged, deep in planning, or a supplier who sees this happen all the time, this episode is a reminder that a smooth wedding journey starts with clear expectations, honest conversations, and asking the right questions early. Expect laughs, real talk, and advice you won’t hear at a wedding fair.

Welcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry. Also available on YouTube as a full studio broadcast.
Hosted by Sharon Underwood, bridal boutique owner with over 25 years in the industry, this is where real weddings are talked about honestly not just the polished version you see online.

Each week, a different wedding supplier joins the show to share their top tips, expert advice, and what couples really need to know when booking for their wedding.
Each episode features candid conversations with wedding professionals from photographers and stylists to celebrants and content creators giving you insider knowledge and the things couples are rarely told.
Because let’s be honest… weddings aren’t always perfect and that’s where the magic (and the mayhem) happens.
Whether you’re planning your wedding, working in the industry, or just love a good behind-the-scenes story, Wedding Mayhem is here to help you feel informed, confident, and a little less overwhelmed.
