Brock sits down with local wedding planner Patty Bogar (Bogar Wedding Co.) to talk what planners really do, why hiring one is a necessity (not a luxury), and how she stays calm in the chaos. They dive into NWA wedding trends (hello fruit décor… goodbye disco balls), real “save the day” moments (missing bouquet + a cake disaster), and rapid-fire hot takes on wedding traditions—first looks, garter tosses, buffet vs plated, donut walls, photo booths, and more. Plus: Patty teases a rebrand and her goal to plan destination weddings.

Wedding photographer Jazmin Andrade joins the IDOIQ Podcast for her first podcast ever—with her husband Miguel along for moral support—and shares how a simple point-and-shoot gift turned into a full photography business. Jazmin talks through her path from early low-budget bookings to confidently charging what she’s worth, how styled shoots and workshops helped her level up, and why she prioritizes customer experience as much as the photos themselves.

They nerd out on favorite engagement photo locations around Northwest Arkansas (hello, Crystal Bridges and Tanyard Creek) and Jasmine’s favorite venue to shoot (Horsehead Lake Lodge). Plus, they fire through a fun rapid-fire “this or that” wedding game—first looks, adults-only receptions, sparkler exits (hard pass), photo booths, ceremony timing, and whether couples should spend more on food or entertainment. If you’re planning a wedding or hiring a photographer, this episode is a practical, funny, and encouraging look at what makes wedding photos feel real—and what makes vendors unforgettable.

In this episode of the IDOIQ Podcast, Brock and wedding planner Brittany Bloom dive into one of the most overlooked—but impactful—wedding details: seating charts.

From champagne walls and acrylic displays to sports-themed, artistic, nautical, and interactive designs, they explore creative seating chart ideas that do more than tell guests where to sit—they become part of the experience. Brittany shares real-world examples from weddings she’s planned, what works (and what doesn’t), and why visibility, flow, and personalization matter just as much as aesthetics.

They also talk through practical considerations like guest volume, readability, budget, venue layout, and how seating charts can double as décor, favors, or conversation starters. Whether you’re going bold or keeping it classic, this episode helps couples think beyond the basic poster board and create something memorable, functional, and uniquely them.

Perfect for couples, planners, and vendors looking to elevate the guest experience—without unnecessary stress.

Brock from Brock Entertainment and Brittany from Brittany Bloom Events & Design dive into wild, real-life wedding stories: moms wearing white and hijacking first kisses, guests reassigning their invitations, Chuck E. Cheese and prison weddings, $40,000 cold-feet walkaways, farm-chore receptions, plus whether sleeping touching actually makes marriages happier. It’s part therapy, part comedy, all IDOIQ.

Brock and Brittany dive into a wild new wedding trend — selling tickets to your own wedding! 💍🎟️ A new app in Europe lets couples invite strangers (yes, strangers!) to attend their weddings for $100–$200 a seat… and the internet has plenty of opinions.

Brittany gives her unfiltered take as a wedding planner (spoiler: she hates it), while Brock plays devil’s advocate — could this be the next big thing or just chaos waiting to happen? They debate whether this idea could ever fly in the U.S., how it would affect planners, and what really matters most when planning your big day.

Plus:

• Why 7-hour weddings are too long (and how to end on a high note 🎶)
• The difference between European and American wedding culture
