Real Bride Chat with Claire Whitbread

Wanna hear from a real bride who’s navigated all the wedding planning dilemmas + stress before? You don’t want to miss this episode!

Meet Claire - she’s the celebrant behind @ceremoniesbyclaire but today we’re chatting through all the details of her dream wedding day to Nathan at Sandalford Winery in February.

We chat through:

✨ how having an engagement party relatively close to your wedding can affect your planning headspace + wedding budget

✨ why you should start your wedding vendor research early in the planning process

✨ how weekday weddings are the best excuse for a day off work and a party

✨ why you should ask your guests to pop their phones in a basket as they enter (kinda like keys in a bowl, but not 🤣🤣)

✨ the 2 key pieces of advice I give to anyone (clients or friends) getting married

.. and so much more!
