In this episode of the Behind the Frame podcast, I had the pleasure of welcoming Erin from Bustle Events, a talented wedding planner and designer with over 16 years of experience in creating unique and personalized weddings. Erin shared her journey into the wedding industry, which began when she planned her own wedding. After a stint in corporate event planning, she took the leap to start her own wedding planning business, driven by her passion for connecting with couples and crafting memorable experiences.
We discussed the evolution of wedding budgets over the years, noting how what was once considered a "big budget" wedding has changed dramatically. Erin emphasized the importance of educating clients about the costs associated with producing a wedding, especially in the luxury market, where expectations can often exceed budgets.
Erin also shared her creative process, which begins with understanding her clients' stories and preferences, allowing her to design weddings that truly reflect their personalities. We touched on the challenges of originality in the wedding industry, with Erin advocating for personalization over imitation.
As we explored her transition into destination weddings, Erin highlighted the unique experiences these events offer, fostering deeper connections among guests. She also provided insights into how she curates vendor teams, emphasizing the importance of chemistry between clients and photographers.
Overall, this episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone in the wedding industry with their eye on breaking into luxury, showcasing the artistry and dedication that goes into creating unforgettable celebrations.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
