In this episode of The Wedding Help Desk, we’re tackling the all-too-common phenomenon of the disappearing groom. Why do so many fiancés check out of wedding planning? Is it laziness — or is something deeper going on?

We’ll break down the real reasons grooms disengage, how to bring your partner back into the process (without resentment), and what roles grooms are actually great at — if they’re given the chance.

Plus, we’ll share helpful scripts, smart strategies, and a few lightbulb moments that just might shift your whole approach to planning together.

👔 Want to give your groom a guide he’ll actually read? Grab a copy of You’ve Got the Ring, Now What? — a book written specifically for him.

📹 Need structure for both of you? Check out The W.E.D. Blueprint — a video-based planning tool designed to reduce overwhelm and build connection.

🎧 Listen now — because weddings aren’t just about the day… they’re about how you work as a team.

In this episode of The Wedding Help Desk, we ask the question no one else is asking: Should weddings roll credits like movies do? From QR codes to chalkboard displays to custom websites, we explore tasteful (and tacky) ways to give your vendor team a little spotlight — without stealing your own.

We’ll break down real options, pros and cons, and whether this small touch could actually make your life easier after the wedding. (Spoiler: it just might stop that one friend from texting you two years later asking, “Hey, who was your florist again?”)

🎧 Listen now and decide — would you roll credits at your wedding?

Today on The Wedding Help Desk, we’re diving into one of the most important mindset shifts you can make for your wedding day: learning to let the little things go.
As a former theater professional, I’ve seen firsthand how the idea of “the show must go on” makes a huge difference — not just on stage, but at weddings too.
We’ll talk about why guests usually don’t notice small mistakes (unless you point them out!) and how your energy sets the tone for your whole day.
Plus, if you're trying to maximize your wedding budget without cutting corners on great vendors, I'll show you how the real savings often come from your guest list — not your vendor list.

In this episode, Kevin shares a fresh perspective on wedding days—through the lens of the stage. Drawing from his background in theater and years of experience as a full-time DJ and venue owner, Kevin breaks down how every wedding is a live production, and every vendor plays a vital role on the “stage.”

You’ll hear real stories, relatable examples, and a powerful call to action for wedding pros: collaborate, communicate, and treat every event like opening night.

📄 Episode Description:

What if your wedding day could keep surprising you for decades to come?

In this episode of The Wedding Help Desk, I’m sharing a brilliant idea I just saw at a wedding I DJed — each table left messages for the couple to read on future anniversaries. One table per year, like a slow drip of love and laughter from the people who were there on day one.

We’ll dive into how this works, why it’s meaningful and intentional wedding ideas that help couples celebrate their marriage long after the last dance. If you're planning a wedding that’s about more than just the party, this episode is for you.

🎧 Let’s make your wedding "echo" through the years — in the best way possible. I never thought I'd use "wedding echo" in a positive light (IYKYK).
