Project Engaged
On this episode of Project Engaged, we’re chatting to Tania, aka The Event Wanderer, which is all about epic wedding stationary, signage and accessories. Having spent over 15 years working in various roles across large, small and even international events, she knows the stress and chaos that can manifest when planning any form of celebration, especially when it’s one that’s as deeply personal as a wedding. But she also is a big believer that with the right vendors on hand, wedding planning can be enjoyable. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Tania! Eddy + Aleks xx

Project Engaged
In this episode of Project Engaged Eddy and Aleks chat about sound equipment at weddings. We try our very best to keep it as simple as we can and chat through what sound equipment a typical DJ brings to a wedding and any additional equipment that may be needed (such as a speaker for a ceremony if it's in a different area).
