Today on The You and Me Podcast we chat with Jessy Marshall - founder and owner of leading boutique public relations and events agency based in Sydney, Australia - Hive HQ.

Planning a wedding with friends and family all across the country of Australia in the middle of Covid meant that Jessy and Michael had to attempt three different guest lists, change to three different locations and attempt to design three different styles of events all while juggling state lockdowns, boarder closures and flight cancellations to finally be able to have their dream day.

A sit down long lunch in the gardens was decided upon as their reception - and maybe it can be seen as bucking the norm or changing up the format yet the afternoon spent with friends and family was quintessentially them - and goes to show that its so important to plan your day the way you want it to go!

Another positive for a long lunch celebration? An early night means that the celebrations could continue the next day!!

Tequila shots before the ceremony, a Margarita truck and sunset photos as a closing formality allowed Jessy and Michael to enjoy their wedding day with their guests in their own way, have actual conversations with those who attended for more than a minute and allowed them to reminisce on the journey it took to get there - with the most important thing being - they had their day, their way (as best you can manage it during the Covid years!)
