A few years ago we joined Scheana Shay and Brock Davies on Scheananigans to talk about their destination wedding in Mexico — what the planning experience actually looked like behind the scenes. A full wedding weekend, a large guest count, a television production crew moving alongside the event, and yes, the unexpected moments that required the team to adjust in real time. What makes this conversation special is that you get both sides: what the process felt like for Scheana and Brock as a couple, and what was happening from the planning side at the same time. We talk about why full-service planning is different from day-of coordination, the decisions that happened long before guests arrived, and what changes when a destination wedding also has a production schedule around it. Then Shelby comes back to unpack what that wedding taught us — and how it directly shaped the Simply Classic Social platform. This conversation originally appeared on Scheananigans with Scheana Shay (Dear Media) and is shared here with permission.
The Shifting Focus Experience: https://john-bunn.com/the-shifting-focus-experience Chris J. Evans went from photographing more than 100 weddings a year on Maui to building an international destination photography brand where multi-day wedding collections now start between $35,000 and $50,000. But that transformation didn't happen simply because he became a better photographer. In this episode of Shifting Focus, Chris and I break down the decisions that changed the trajectory of his career: getting clear on what made his work different, intentionally building a fashion-forward brand, raising his prices, investing in the right rooms, and developing genuine relationships with planners and other people who could open new doors. Chris shares how attending his first Engage introduced him to an entirely different level of the wedding industry, how he rebuilt his network after moving from Maui to California at the beginning of COVID, and how one relationship eventually led to photographing Robin Roberts' wedding and opportunities around the world. We also talk about what happens after you've already built a successful career. Chris shares why refinement matters more than constantly reinventing yourself, how he's adapting his imagery for a new generation of clients, and why today's couples don't just want to see what a wedding looked like. They want to feel what it felt like. If you're trying to move into a new market, raise your prices, strengthen your brand, or get into rooms that feel one level above where you are today, this conversation is packed with perspective on what that progression actually looks like.

They happen in the in-between moments most planners don't plan for.In this episode, Desirée Adams breaks down the hidden risks that experienced destination planners quietly manage long before they become the couple's problem: flight delays and travel disruptions, jewelry and heirloom pieces moving between locations, and goods that have to clear customs on a wedding timeline.

We've hit peak wedding season and, if you're in your late 20s or 30s, you're probably receiving multiple invitations every summer for friends' destination weddings.But, spending your hard-earned cash attending a friend's destination wedding if you don't have a deposit for a home, or if it requires you getting into debt, smacks of financial self-sabotage, so writes Gabrielle Monaghan in today's Irish Independent.Joining Ciara to discuss this further is Money Journalist for the Irish Independent Gabrielle Monaghan, and Sara Kennedy, Wedding Expert and owner of The Aisle wedding blog.

A destination wedding story that proves some things really can go from bad...to worse...to "wait, it gets worse than THAT?!" As a bridal hair and makeup artist with over 20 years of experience (and more Mexico weddings under her belt than she can count), Jayna Marie has seen a lot. This episode covers one of the wildest chains of events shes ever personally witnessed-- A story where the bride did everything right, trusted the right people and still ended up in a situation no one could have predicted. There's a health scare. There's a 5 figure sum of money, a mexico tourism scam, a piece of jewlery that vanished hours before an international flight home and a cancelled honeymoon. Somehow, by the end of it all, it becomes a Jayna problem too! This is a story about weddings, trust, unexpected expenses and what happens when "free" ends up costing everyone involved a whole lot more money than they bargained for. Press play and get ready to take notes, then send this episode to anyone planning an "I Do" in Mexico! New episodes of Big Lash Energy drop every week. If you love stories about weddings, bridal beauty and the chaos that comes with both, hit follow so you never hit an episode! HOSPITAL TO AVOID: Saint Lukes Hospital, Cabo

It's Wednesday and that means Jimmy Failla, host of Fox Across America, is on the Marc Cox Morning Show — and he does not disappoint. Jimmy kicks things off with the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Madison Square Garden wedding buzz before pivoting to a take that every married man in America will appreciate: nobody actually wants to go to your destination wedding, and Taylor Swift accidentally doing guests a favor by keeping it local. Then California gets the Jimmy Failla treatment — homeless former swimsuit models on the boulevard, NGOs getting rich keeping people on the streets, and a political class handing out needles instead of rehab because there is simply too much money in the misery industry. Jimmy and Marc then light up the WNBA's Sophie Cunningham situation, pointing out that finger-pointing at Caitlin Clark while Clark and Cunningham together account for 70% of all WNBA jersey sales is the single dumbest business decision in women's sports history. Plus Jimmy previews his packed fall tour schedule, shares a Lake of the Ozarks meet-and-greet story involving a drunk Corvette owner who never figured out Jimmy never actually drove his car, and wishes the Marc Cox Morning Show a happy Fourth of July weekend.

This compilation features a diverse range of topics, including burning internet questions, hot takes on self-checkout and standing ovations, a kid at a baseball game who absolutely destroyed Mike, and a full draft of things everyone pretends to enjoy. Mike and Matt debate whether leaving someone on read is rude, weigh in on splitting the bill at group dinners, and tackle whether destination weddings are selfish. They express their opinions on various aspects of dining, such as restaurant menus, printed tickets, Wawa breakfast, and self-checkout. They also discuss carrying cash, energy drinks that work too fast, and the enduring presence of air conditioners as giant boxes in our windows. Additionally, they draft the things nobody actually enjoys, including gender reveals, 5AM gym sessions, networking events, crab legs, kids birthday parties, work happy hours, music festivals, and black coffee. The conversations often take unexpected turns and go off course.Left on Read, Dinner Bills & Destination Weddings 00:00 Are Standing Ovations Losing Their Meaning? 7:41Energy Drinks Are Too Cheap and Too Effective 14:29Work Happy Hours & Music Festivals Are NOT Fun 24:04Follow Funny Business on Spotify for weekly episodes.More at: https://beacons.ai/funnybusinesspodNote: The opinions expressed in this show are the hosts' views and not necessarily those of any business or organization.

Have you wondered which traditions you should keep, ditch, or remix when you're not a hetero-normative pair tying the knot?Jesse from New York reached DMd me on Instagram, asking for some tips on his same-sex destination wedding in Provincetown, Massachusetts.While this episode is tailored to Jesse's questions, which include dilemmas around mixed gender bridal party titles, suggestions for outfits and styling, pitching the trip to his future in-law's family (who are questioning the need, and expense, and why P-town feels more exciting, welcoming, and safe than NYC for the grooms), alternative traditions, and photo list suggestions. I know many hetero couples face the same family pushback when they dare to dream beyond the standard expectations or the usual local wedding celebration. It's a tricky line to walk and there's tough conversations to be had, but also real excitement and creativity about what's possible, and how Jesse and his soon-to be-husband, Justin, can make their day their own.

Do you really need a save-the-date for a high school graduation… or is that too much? In this candid and relatable conversation, Jessica and Kelly dive into the etiquette, emotions, and logistics behind planning life's milestone celebrations—from graduations to weddings and everything in between. What starts as a simple question about whether to send a save-the-date quickly opens into a thoughtful discussion about intention, connection, and how celebrations have evolved over time. They explore why giving loved ones a heads-up can matter—especially when travel is involved—while also acknowledging that not every milestone needs to follow traditional rules. Along the way, they share personal stories about weddings (including destination weddings), changing expectations, and the beauty of keeping gatherings meaningful rather than overdone. This episode is equal parts practical and nostalgic, with a gentle reminder that the best celebrations aren't about perfection or pressure—they're about presence, thoughtfulness, and time together. Inside This Conversation: The pros and cons of sending save-the-dates for graduations and other milestones How location and guest dynamics shape celebration decisions Thoughts on destination weddings and modern wedding traditions Why smaller, more intentional gatherings can feel more fulfilling A reminder that celebrations should reflect you, not expectations Chapters 00:00 Graduation Planning and Save the Dates 06:29 Destination Weddings and Family Gatherings 11:11 Wedding Protocols and Intentional Celebrations Connect With Us:
