Top Five of 2020 and 2021

/in /by

Hello my friends and welcome to another episode of The Wedding Wombat and the last one for the year 2021!

It has been another tough year for everyone planning their weddings and equally for all of us working in the wedding industry!

In this episode, we are looking back at the last two years and counting down the Top 5 most popular episodes and some of the wisdom from each.

To work this out, I looked at all the listener stats and downloads and divided each by the number of months to make it fair. We have had some great episodes and really interesting guests… which episodes do you think will be in the Top 5? You might be surprised. I know I was…

Enjoy this episode and have a wonderful Christmas and a safe new year. Let’s hope 2022 that is easier for weddings.

A Hidden Gem- Micro Weddings at North Arm Cove

A Hidden Gem- Micro Weddings at North Arm Cove

/in /by

Hello and welcome to the first episode back in 2021 after a well earned break! So much has happened since we last chatted and we will get into that in today’s show. Plus, we talk with 3 wedding vendors who have joined with me to create something rather special- today’s episode has some big ideas about micro weddings.

We made it 2021 and things look to be improving. Trump is gone and covid 19 seems to be on the decline. Dancing is allowed again and wedding restrictions are being lightened. We still can’t have overseas guests but things are getting easier.

And my news? Well, my book BeLoved has been released and become an Amazon best seller and at the launch party, my long term partner proposed, so now I’m a fiancée too! Ah, the joys of planning, hey?!

Like so many of you, I’m thinking a smaller, more intimate wedding might be the way to go. And today on the Wedding Wombat, we chat with a unique and special venue that has just opened it’s doors for micro weddings and offering packages that include accommodation, photography, celebrant and catering if needed. If you haven’t chosen your venue yet, this episode is going to uncover an absolute gem!

The gorgeous photos were taken by Deb Carr and here is a link to her profile piece about the venue- https://www.northcoastnswlifestyle.com.au/post/north-arm-cove-airbnb-5-bedroom-home?fbclid=IwAR1CybiM7jYOtTC1xfeS5Rsx-45ysrk-uk8YH_ch6r0_OhTAls_afIW9bTQ

Paying It Forward

Pay It Forward

/in /by

Earlier this year, a remarkable woman named Karen Maree Nelson started a Facebook group called “Pay It Forward Bridal and Sell” and you can visit the group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/576971226510192/

The group was created to help those who are affected by financial constraints caused by the recent virus, illness or environmental impact due to natural disaster. Members can seek assistance and members are welcome to gift anything to do with weddings or have an item which they are happy to sell at a discounted price and have approval by Admin. Wedding vendors are also welcome to assist the community who have been affected by difficult circumstances.

The group has been established with values of Honesty and integrity, Compassion and empathy and Generosity.

We speak to an active member of the group, Sandra Kaneshakarnar from DM Bridal Wear and Alterations in Sydney. Visit her facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/DMbridalwearandalterations/.
