In this episode, Harry and Keith reconnect for their first virtual podcast together, catching up after Harry spent the last month in Florida and jumping right back into everything happening in the wedding world.

They talk about why knowing your vendors matters and why couples should look beyond pricing, packages, and social media when choosing the people who will be part of their wedding day. The right vendors aren't just there to provide a service—they help shape the experience, handle the unexpected, and work together to keep everything moving.

Harry and Keith dive into:

• Why getting to know your vendors before the wedding matters • What couples should really consider when choosing their wedding team • Wedding trends they're seeing right now • What brides and grooms are prioritizing differently • How the right vendor team can change the entire experience • What's happening in the wedding industry and what they're excited about next

And after a month apart, there's plenty of catching up on life, stories, laughs, and the kind of random wedding conversations that happen whenever Harry and Keith get behind the mics.

It's a relaxed catch-up episode filled with wedding talk, real opinions, current trends, and practical advice for couples trying to create a day that actually feels like them.

In this episode, Harry and Keith sit down with DJ Mike Benoit, one of New England's premier wedding DJs and event hosts, to talk about what separates a good wedding from one that guests remember for years.

With hundreds of weddings under his belt, Mike shares his perspective on what truly makes a celebration unforgettable. From the flow of the day and the energy in the room to the little moments couples often overlook, he explains why the best weddings are about so much more than music.

Harry, Keith, and Mike dive into:

• What the most memorable weddings have in common • Current trends in wedding entertainment and guest experience • How great DJs help shape the entire flow of a wedding day • What couples should look for when hiring entertainment • The importance of personalization and authenticity • How to create moments guests will talk about long after the wedding ends

They also discuss the evolution of weddings, changing guest expectations, and why today's couples are focused more than ever on creating an experience rather than simply hosting an event.

Mike shares stories from his journey in the wedding industry, lessons learned from years of entertaining, and how he built a brand that has become synonymous with unforgettable celebrations.

Whether you're planning your wedding, work in the industry, or simply love hearing behind-the-scenes stories from wedding professionals, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and plenty of fun conversation.

In this episode, Harry sits down with Jeff and Karina Besen, founders of Not a Wedding Crasher, to talk about one of the most unique and talked-about ideas to hit the wedding industry in years.

What started as a simple conversation about wanting to attend more weddings turned into a platform that allows couples with extra seats at their wedding to intentionally invite vetted guests to join their celebration. It's not wedding crashing—it's creating connections, sharing experiences, and opening the door to a completely new way of thinking about weddings.

Jeff and Karina share the story behind how the idea came to life, the reaction they've received from couples and guests, and why so many people have been fascinated by the concept.

Harry, Jeff, and Karina dive into:

• How Not a Wedding Crasher got started • What the platform actually does and how it works • Why couples are opening seats to new guests • The surprising types of people signing up to attend weddings • How the wedding industry has responded to the idea • What the future could look like for this unique concept

They also discuss the power of connection, the community aspect of weddings, and why some of the most interesting ideas come from asking a simple question: "Why not?"

Whether you think it's brilliant, crazy, or somewhere in between, this episode explores one of the most interesting new concepts to emerge in the wedding world and the couple behind it.
