21: Are Wedding Bands Really Worth it?

Today's episode is co-hosted by Dan from The Function Band. Dan joins Georgie to discuss one of the biggest wedding planning dilemmas couples face - should you book a band or a DJ? From the real cost of hiring a live band to how wedding evening entertainment is structured, Dan gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what couples are actually paying for and what goes into creating a packed dancefloor. The pair discuss the songs that work every single time, the songs that probably need retiring, and whether a live band is always the right choice for every wedding. Dan also shares what makes The Function Band different from the average wedding band, how they approach weddings, and some of the funniest (and most chaotic) wedding stories he's witnessed over the years. If you're currently deciding on your wedding entertainment, this episode is packed with practical advice, industry insight and plenty of laughs.

20: The Actual Cost of Wedding Venues

Today's episode is filmed at the beautiful Clevedon Hall in North Somerset, and is co-hosted by Head of Sales at the venue, Lauren England. Lauren gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what really goes on from a wedding venue's perspective. From couples disappearing mid-conversation (one of Lauren's biggest pet hates!) to the reality of wedding venue pricing, this episode is packed with honest insights that every engaged couple should hear before booking their venue. We dive into why wedding venues can seem expensive, what couples are actually paying for behind the scenes, and whether those costs are always as straightforward as they appear. Georgie also gives her views on suppliers being charged for soft drinks 👀 This is OUR society, so please share your thoughts and ideas on socials, in the comments or by email at hello@secretsocietyofbrides.co.uk Check out Clevedon Hall (and Lauren) Website - https://www.clevedonhall.co.uk/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clevedonhall Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/clevedonhall/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's episode is sponsored by One Lucky Day!
