Have a story? Want to be on the show, get in touch In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by Holly from Blank Canvas Weddings and Craig Little from The Everyday DJ Company to talk all things wedding music, playlists and packed dance floors. Craig shares how he accidentally fell into DJing after stepping in to help at a friend’s wedding, and how that one night eventually turned into a career spanning more than a decade. The conversation gets into what really makes a great wedding party, from choosing the right first dance and handling guest requests to why couples shouldn’t expect their DJ to simply work through a huge Spotify playlist. Craig explains the importance of reading the room, trusting your DJ and choosing music that works for the whole wedding rather than just individual tastes. There are also plenty of stories from the dance floor, including songs that have completely killed the atmosphere and why sometimes the bride and groom’s “must plays” don’t quite go to plan. Craig also shares some brilliant stories from his career, including DJing at Wentworth Golf Club for Jake Bongiovi’s 21st birthday, where Millie Bobby Brown was among the guests. From celebrity parties and wedding music mistakes to Mr Brightside, the Cha Cha Slide and the songs Craig would happily never play again, it’s an honest and entertaining look at what really goes into keeping a wedding dance floor alive.

Have a story? Want to be on the show, get in touch In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by Frankie from Illustrations by Kiwi, an award-winning live wedding illustrator whose journey into the wedding industry is anything but ordinary. Frankie shares how she went from working as a chef for 15 years to rediscovering her love of art, eventually turning what she thought would be a side hustle into a full-time career creating personalised illustrations for couples and their guests. Frankie talks about what actually happens when a live illustrator comes to a wedding, from photographing guests and sketching them throughout the day to creating meaningful keepsakes that couples can treasure long after the celebrations are over. She also opens up about finding her own artistic style, the importance of choosing suppliers who truly fit your wedding, and some of the more unusual requests she has received from guests along the way. Full of laughs, honest conversation and plenty of Wedding Mayhem chaos, this episode explores how creativity, personality and a little bit of quirkiness can make a wedding feel completely unique.

Have a story? Want to be on the show, get in touch In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined once again by Samantha Gilchrist, who steps into the co-host seat, alongside wedding celebrant Gayle Davis-Tyrell from Sunflower Celebrations. Gayle shares how a deeply personal family experience led her into the world of celebrancy, why she chose to focus on weddings, and how she creates ceremonies that feel completely personal to each couple. The conversation explores everything from writing unique love stories and involving friends and family in the ceremony, to surprise ring bearers, dogs at weddings and the difference between a celebrant-led ceremony and the legal side of getting married. Gayle also explains why getting to know a couple properly matters so much, how she uses their stories, personalities and little details to shape the ceremony, and why no two weddings should ever feel the same. As always, there is plenty of Wedding Mayhem along the way, with honest opinions on registrars, wedding traditions, family politics, and some brilliantly unusual ceremony ideas. It’s a fun and insightful episode for anyone planning a wedding and wondering how to make their ceremony feel more personal, meaningful and memorable.

Have a story? Want to be on the show, get in touch In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by award-winning wedding videographer Chris Parker, with magician Liam Ball returning as co-host. Chris shares how he filmed his first wedding at just 16, before going on to work in teaching, live sports broadcasting and media — experiences that have all shaped the way he approaches weddings today. He explains why he prefers to work unobtrusively, capturing the natural moments that happen throughout the day rather than constantly staging shots or pulling couples away from their guests. The conversation also gets into some of the realities behind the scenes at weddings, from difficult ceremony restrictions and supplier clashes to couples missing huge parts of their own day because of photos and video. Chris explains why communication between suppliers is so important, why couples should never be afraid to speak up about what they want, and why the wedding itself should always come before creating content for social media. They also discuss the lasting value of wedding video, the moments couples often don't realise they've missed, and why the best footage can sometimes come from the little interactions happening between the posed shots. With plenty of stories, practical advice and wedding-day chaos along the way, this episode is a reminder that while beautiful photos and films matter, how your wedding day actually feels matters even more.

Have a story? Want to be on the show, get in touch In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by Samantha Gilchrist, founder and CEO of The Gilchrist Collection, a group of 12 unique wedding venues across the UK and US. Samantha shares the incredible story of how she went from photographing weddings to unexpectedly buying her first venue, The Ravenswood, after a chance phone call revealed it was about to go back on the market. From a £3 million handshake-style deal to rebuilding cancelled weddings and growing the business across multiple locations, it is a story full of risk, instinct and determination. Samantha also gives a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what really goes into running a wedding venue, from staffing and maintenance to guest flow, bar placement and creating the right atmosphere. She explains why every couple should feel like they are the only wedding that matters, why transparency around pricing is so important and why some venue costs are higher than couples may first expect. There are also plenty of unforgettable stories along the way, including alligator lakes, surprise roof repairs, guests making questionable decisions and the realities of managing historic properties. It is an honest, funny and insightful conversation about the wedding industry, venue ownership and what it really takes to deliver thousands of weddings successfully.

Have a story? Want to be on the show, get in touch In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by wedding photographer Damien Vickers, with Olivia from Studio Chapman returning as co-host. Damien shares how he approaches wedding photography through authenticity, emotion and storytelling, capturing the day as it naturally unfolds rather than turning it into one long photoshoot. He explains why the moments couples never plan are often the ones they treasure most, from emotional hugs after speeches to the quiet exchanges happening in between the big events. The conversation also explores the pressure of standing out in the wedding industry, the danger of copying other photographers and why Damien values five-star reviews from happy couples more than awards. He opens up about finding his own style, learning to anticipate emotional moments and creating timeless images that will still feel meaningful decades later. There are also plenty of unforgettable wedding stories, including disappearing couples, guests leaving early and one very awkward encounter involving a former groom and a maid of honour. Damien also shares his biggest advice for couples planning their day: leave space in the timeline, trust your suppliers and let the wedding breathe.

Have a story? Want to be on the show, get in touch In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, Sharon is joined by Lizzie from Bougie Music and Holly from Blank Canvas Weddings to talk about the pressure couples feel to create the “perfect” wedding — and why so many of the tiny details simply do not matter as much as people think. From endless Instagram inspiration to guests comparing weddings, they unpack how too much choice can lead to stress, overspending, and second-guessing decisions that should feel joyful. The conversation turns to what guests actually remember after the day: the atmosphere, the food, the music, the laughter, the personal moments, and how relaxed the couple felt. From casino tables and live bands to funny speeches, drunk guests, DIY details, and unforgettable mishaps, this episode is a reminder that the best weddings are not about impressing everyone — they are about creating memories that feel true to you. Ultimately, this episode encourages couples to cut through the noise, stop trying to please everybody, and focus their energy and budget on the things that genuinely shape the experience. Because nobody remembers the chandeliers — but they will remember how your wedding made them feel.
