Andy and his guests engage the listener into their discussions - and we love this! A deep dive into the real life of wedding pros, with invaluable tips for us all!
Beautiful Biographies and Inspiring Intel
July 11, 2019 by C. Confetti from United States
Even though many of your show guests are my dear friends and colleagues whom I’ve known for many years, I always gather new nuggets of their history, wisdom and vision from each podcast. The magic is how you invoke a deep insight into their unique approach and combine that with a glimpse into personal lives. It’s magic! Keep it coming.
Brilliant!
June 28, 2019 by msusuni from United States
I look forward to Andy’s interviews like I look forward to my glorious morning coffee. I am blown away with all the amazing guests he has on the podcast and I admire his interview style. I’ve learned so much so far and started following many of his guests on Instagram. Keep’em coming Andy!

Inspiring!!!

Andy!!! I can’t tell you how much I love your podcast. I had back to back flower wall installs this weekend and your episodes got me through my late nights! I have to show you what you and your guests have helped me create. There were times when I just want to sleep but I’ve been inspired to really push and deliver the best product and service to my clients. Thank you!!! God bless you!!! ??????
The best podcast binge in a while
May 5, 2019 by Bonnie Sen from United States
As a photographer I love hearing from all the different perspectives. I also love the short version of the podcasts, I end up listening to both versions usually but I like the short versions as a trailer. Love the selection of people interviewed and the variety.
Learn how to connect
April 29, 2019 by Atelier Ashley from United States
I started listening to this podcast because I was curious about the people who were local to me in my Industry but that I had never had an opportunity to meet, or wanted more. Listening and learning then gave me some information I could use to make meaningful connections with them in real life. I also listened to the podcast with photographer Phil VanNostrad and realized he was as passionate about networking as I was, within 36 hours we were sitting down to dinner. All through the power of this one podcast. Thanks Andy!
Insiration in every interview!
April 4, 2019 by Carlie Statsky from United States
I have enjoyed listening to so many of Andy's interviews. As a professional wedding photographer, it's the perfect podcast to play while editing photos! Andy is a wonderful host; thoughtful, kind, curious, full of great questions and poignant insights. I have found inspiration in each and every interview that I've listened to. Thank you Andy, keep up the great work!
Found my Treasure
April 3, 2019 by Events By Sheetal from United States
Hello Andy, I am an ardent listener of your podcast. I listen to it all the time , While picking up kids from school, walking my dog , kitchen cleaning , folding laundry etc I look forward to these mundane chores as I know I will get time to listen to your podcast. ? I always wanted to know more about the big names in the Industry, how they started , what inspired them... and your podcast is spot on. So glad to have found your podcast while just casually searching on the App Store and now I am completely hooked. I totally love your interview style. Thank you so much for bringing this treasure trove to us ... please keep up the good work .???❤️❤️❤️
Gem of a Podcast!
February 15, 2019 by Shannon Moffit from United States
You can tell that Andy pours his heart and soul into these interviews and cares deeply for the wedding industry. If you are looking for a ton of inspiration and motivation to be better in this saturated world, you have come to the right podcast! I can't wait to listen along as I drive to my weddings this season! Thank you Andy!!
Fun to hear from friends
February 12, 2019 by Jesse Tombs from United States
Met Andy at our Marin studio last week. I've really enjoyed listening in to his podcast to learn from planners and designers I so admire. I'm looking forward to collaborating with him on something soon! Always thoughtful and informitive conversations!

February 8, 2019 by Alison Hotchkiss from United States
I not only enjoyed interviewing with Andy but I have enjoyed listening to so many of the other interviews. As a planner IN the industry it's so informative to how this industry works and how we are all so different in our process and approach. A great listen for anyone considering hiring one of the planners that Andy interviews to get their vibe and/or anyone entering the industry who wants to get the 411 oh how we all tick. Thanks Andy for doing this, its so awesome! Alison
Highest rating for wedding biz podcasts
February 8, 2019 by Diorinspired from United States
Andy is genuinely interested in sharing useful insights and personal stories behind the successful creatives in the wedding industry.
Such great interviews!
February 7, 2019 by Bigfanshan from United States
Andy is a brilliant interviewer. He gets the most interesting stories out of his guests. A must listen for anyone in or interested in the wedding industry. Finally a superb wedding podcast!
The best in the business!
February 7, 2019 by Ellaella5148 from United States
I’m absolutely addicted to this podcast! Andy has a fantastic connection with each guest, and I’m impressed with his ability to dive deep and ask the questions I’m dying to know answers to! His interviews are with the paragons of the wedding industry, and I find it fascinating to learn about the backstory of each industry influencers and thought leaders as an entrepreneur in the event space myself. I’m especially excited about the addition of The Next Level this season, which breaks down each week’s interview with a loyal listener. Andy really has his finger on the pulse of what is happening in the wedding business, and whether you have a remote curiosity about the industry or are a devoted creative business owner, there is something for everyone. Great work!!
Fabulous!!
October 16, 2018 by Doogie157 from United States
You are all so inspiring. Thanks so much, Andy, for this wonderful podcast.
Great Resource for Event Professionals
September 24, 2018 by SplendidEvie from United States
This is an amazing podcast for anyone in the event industry. It is insightful on the business level and very personal too. Thank you Andy for your hard work and for connecting the world with incredible professionals allowing them to share their stories and inspiring others.
Stumble and Binge
September 19, 2018 by Kelly McWilliams from United States
I stumbled upon this podcast when I searched "wedding" and I am so glad that I did. I've now binged about 10 episodes and enjoyed each one for one reason alone - the conversations are authentic but stick to the point. The interviews actually allows the guest to give the information we didn't even know we wanted to know. In other words, I feel like I walked away with knowledge and or affirmation. Some podcasts are undeniably great about discussion, but I love that this one really allows the guest to lead and be the expert on the topic at hand.
Smart interviews - find the time
September 12, 2018 by Cambeth14568 from United States
I have enjoyed the candid interviews on this podcast. It’s wedding industry driven but insightful even if you own a small business outside the industry. If you are looking to stay on top of your biz game, subscribe.
Must Listen!
September 3, 2018 by Channing_DCM from United States
I love this podcast. Ive been in the events industry for 11 years and love hearing from those who’ve come before about what makes a successful business. Any asks great questions and the guests are always very forthcoming and REAL! so refreshing in a world where “Pinterest perfect” can overshadow the reality of running a business in this industry.
Love this show!
May 15, 2018 by Ileen Hoekman from United States
This show is fantastic! They always have guests that are deeply admired and respected. Andy ask great questions and goes so much deeper than typical interviews. I’m always inspired after each and every episode and I always find practical actionable takeaways. I’m a big believer that success leaves crumbs and I love that this show has given us a peek into the mindset of some of best and most successful people in the industry!
Very Informative
May 12, 2018 by Fiander Foto from United States
I really enjoyed hearing how Jose Villa got his start in photography, how he moved into wedding photography, and his current approach to it. Overall, this podcast was very informative & interesting to listen to while I edit my own work. Thank you!
My Favorite Podcast
May 8, 2018 by Chandad? from United States
I look forward to this podcast every week and LOVE the addition of The Next Level with MelissaFancy!
Amazing!
January 31, 2018 by Claire Balest from United States
This is a must listen to for everyone in the wedding business! Every episode is so full of lessons of all kinds - ones we can all learn from no matter what our role in the business!
Top Notch Guests- Consistently Great Insight
January 4, 2018 by OFDConsulting from United States
I'm a long time podcast enthusiast and was thrilled to see Andy launch one that focused on some of the brightest stars in the industry. The insight has been invaluable and I myself have seen an increase in my wedding PR services thanks to the guests who have continued to share how publicity transformed their businesses. Looking forward to the new episodes in 2018.
Kinda addicted!
December 19, 2017 by Dani Fine Photography from United States
Andy’s Podcast is fascinating, entertaining, educational and the one thing that keeps me on the treadmill an extra few mins to finish out the show! :) LOVE! I met Andy at Engage in Caymen and his show is like an extended “break out session”! Highly recommend.
The Insider's Insider
September 20, 2017 by Gyvjghvkhgvkygvi from United States
These podcasts provide a unique peek into the careers of amazing wedding professionals. Even though I know and have worked with many of the interviewees, it's great to hear a curated conversation about their life paths, careers and insights into the business of events and weddings. It's an hour of uninterrupted conversation that I rarely get to spend hearing how my favorites have navigated their careers. Well done and looking forward to more (including my own interview!)
Compelling & revealing conversations!
August 26, 2017 by Ewsound from United States
Much more than a wedding business podcast, these are candid conversations with people who passionately combine creativity, originality and artistry.
The Wedding Biz
July 31, 2017 by Carl Lindquist from United Kingdom
Great podcast!
Fascinating topics
July 21, 2017 by wiggity1000 from Canada
This is an unusual podcast for me but I am loving the way Andy actually breaks down the industry and enjoying the interviews so far. Worth a few listens :)
Just in time
May 24, 2017 by Sean Low from United States
So many business interviews give us the highlights of an amazing career but none of the humanity that makes is real. I love business stories of course, but i love human stories more. The courage to keep going, to start in the first place and everything in between. You window into the minds of these amazing artists, all of them, is fantastic. Terrific work.
Excellent
May 24, 2017 by Atonal Lick from United States
Very cool podcast. I worked in the industry for years on the music side (and got married along the way too). Very insightful from all angles.
