I’m not the target demographic for TVT, but as a bride planning a wedding, it’s given me some insight as to what various vendors do and how they may feel about certain trends. Makes me a little more confident in speaking with vendors as well, so I know how to say what I want to say without being a jerk. My only note for the pod (please don’t hate me Lauren!) is that the ad volumes are inconsistent. Sometimes I can’t hear if they’re still speaking doing the regular pod and sometimes I have to rip my earbuds out because it’s so loud.

My favorite day of the week is when the vendor table drops a new ep. As a fellow wedding vendor, I love hearing the stuff everyone thinks, but no one has the guts to say. I laugh out loud in every episode!

I love how real you guys are and I literally am always so excited when I new episode comes out! I binged listened, followed, and started interacting on all your platforms! You guys are the best! I’m so thankful I found you guys!

This pair is condescending, bitter, loud, arrogant, crude, incredibly defensive, and on occasion, mildly interesting.

I’ve never heard two more negative, bitter people in my life. I thought I’d learn something about running my wedding business but these two just go on and gossip about how much they hate their job, hate other vendors and hate couples lol.

The best podcast for wedding professionals. You guys are the best and please curse more! Upd: the episode on Floral Design is the best! Soooo educational!

Love the candor of this podcast!! The tell-it-like-it-is vibe is so good (especially when I’m editing my brains out in my office and starting to go crazy). You two are saying what most of us are already thinking, and doing a great job at it.

Great show. I’m a wedding DJ. BEST First Date cover is by Taylor Acorn.

As a photographer myself, hearing someone that cusses as much as I do in my head is amazing 🤣 screw what the other review says, if people don’t like it then they don’t have to listen to it 🤷🏼‍♀️ These two provide such GREAT ideas, feedback and their banter with each other is so enjoyable. I’m so grateful to have this podcast to listen to!!

As a wedding photographer myself I love knowing that there are other photographers that share same ideas and frustrations as me lol

Gotta say absolutely love this podcast. These two are so relatable and seem a lot of fun. I love all the topics they cover as well. They keep it real as soon as there’s a new episode I hit play. Keep up the good work guys. Thank you.

I’m love listening to this podcast. It hits the industry right where we need it! Love their candor.

This is everything I need in life when it comes photography and regular ol banter. As a photographer but someone who retired from shooting weddings, the latest and greatest with M & L keeps me so entertained. Their conversations are REAL, and candid. Just how I like my photos. I’ll keep listening to this podcast as long as they keep talking!

Found this podcast and it’s absolute GOLD! Entertaining and fun but also informative. Yes they curse, but it’s rated explicit for a reason. I just don’t listen to it when the kids are around. If you need a laugh after working a long wedding season, this duo is top notch.

The best photography podcast out there. Never a dull moment listening to these guys talk about all the behind the scenes stuff you would never hear about anywhere else.

The Wedding Industry is tough but worth it for so many talented, creative vendors. Finding TVT clips on IG and later listening to full podcasts has really helped me release steam and laugh; knowing that the crazy I deal with as a Planner is very much felt by other key vendors - photo/video, DJ, catering etc - we’re all in this together. Michael & Lauren keep it hilariously REAL (sailor mouth & all) and always have a little tidbit of gold advice in every episode. I love tuning in to hear about “garbage people” and wedding horror stories every chance I get!

Such an open an honest podcast about being a wedding photographer and more. Love listening to the podcast and sharing it with all of my photographer friends!

I love how this podcast is a mix of great info/knowledge, funny jokes, entertainment and stories.

Love the show. TBH not enough cursing.

Authentic, raw, real and refreshing! I love hearing the real-life views and hot takes of our industry! As a planner, it’s so fun to take in their perspectives and conversations. It’s all so relatable and laugh out loud perfect!

I want to like this podcast… But they curse so much, not even in an effective manner, then it takes away from the content and makes it way less professional and trustworthy. I curse as well, but their effort to make every other word a curse distracts from their content.

Just love it. So fun and so engaging

I am NOT a wedding photographer, but I love how this podcast is about photography, but not always about grinding your business. They talk trends, latest news and funny stories. I get so bogged down by every photography podcast talking about how to scale and grow. I come here to be entertained in the industry I love.

I honestly cannot remember where I first saw Lauren & Mike’s podcast, but it was during the time when they were suddenly getting picked up by the algorithm. I remember them talking about it during the time that I had just started listening. I do remember just being so taken by them instantly. And knowing I’d have to listen every week. Once they started uploading to YouTube regularly, I started watching every single week. These two are standouts and I am so happy to see them succeeding and growing. Perfect complements to each other on the show. I don’t often feel like I fit in in the wedding industry and I feel like I fit in with Lauren & Mike!

Big fan, wedding photog from Ohio. We DO break up the reception here too though ;) Thank goodness! Love the hot takes and banter.

I’m a Dallas wedding photographer and it’s so fun to hear and relate to your stories!

I love how open they are no matter how much slack people give them. I definitely can relate to majority of what they say & always love listening to them!

Love this podcast, even tho I’m not a wedding photographer, I’m a family, portrait and event photographer, Ive learned so much from them. Yeah, the curse a little but I don’t mind it. I need honest people who don’t sugar coat anything when it comes to the nitty gritty of this business. Keep it up guys! Btw, I’m also 50% Italian, so I curse too. 🤪🤌🏻

Forget the fact that they know all the wedding tea, Lauren knows #PubSubs. She is my new favorite person!! This was a great episode!

These two are amazing. I’m a wedding videographer but 99% of their topics resonate with and are applicable to pretty much anyone in the wedding industry.

As a photographer, this podcast is perfect. It definitely shines a light on all that we go through, have gone through, and will go through. I appreciate the honesty of these two and they’ve truly opened my eyes as a business owner. Appreciate you! 🫶🏻

My favorite podcast to tune into when I’m headed to a wedding. It’s funny, sarcastic, informative and overall the truth! Any and all vendors should tune in and listen!

I don’t know how I stumbled upon your podcast, but I’m so glad I did! I have learned so much and now have such a different perspective now when working with vendors. Thank you for the “behind the curtain” peek and for sharing!!

It’s the transparency, reliability + entertainment for me🙌 seriously this is a great podcast for vendors & couples all around. I’ve learned so much from this podcast & will keep being a loyal listener.

Michael Cassara Photography you are unbelievably talented. Your work is amazing!

Thank y’all! I love this podcast. Wedding Photographer in North Alabama and Millennial too!! I agree with Blurry Trash 🤣

Wedding photographer - love this podcast!! So relatable

Seriously love this podcast. It’s so nice to listen to vendors take about hot takes! It makes me feel seen and like you’re my friends haha keep making podcasts!!

As a wedding DJ - I feel SEEN 😎

This podcast is so amazing, however, the sound quality is kind of off. Whenever I listen in my car, I have to turn the volume all the way up because it’s hard to hear!

An absolute amazing time for anyone who works in the wedding world. I love the show.

Love these two! Feels like a group chat for those in the events industry. Plus they have so much experience between the two of them— I’ve already learned a lot.

I love this podcast! They are so honest and authentic to who they are and very knowledgeable. I love hearing their take on the wedding industry and what they have learned over the many years they have worked within it!

As a wedding photographer, this podcast resonates with me so much.

One of the best wedding photography podcasts out there. Yes, they swear and curse, it’s marked explicit people!!

Been a wedding photographer for 22 years and I love listening to them chat about the wedding industry. They are funny and spot on!

Tune in to 'The Vendor Table' podcast for a fantastic blend of humor and relatability in the world of wedding photography! Mike and Lauren's hilarious banter ensures an engaging listen, making you feel heard and seen. The invitation to join the vendor table adds a welcoming community vibe. A must-listen for anyone in the wedding photography scene!

Not for the weak

I listen to Michael and Lauren a couple times a week. I’m currently planning a wedding and instead of going crazy trying to plan a wedding, I can just sit back and laugh with them. This pod is genuinely stress relieving and I feel like they would understand any issues I have. I feel like I can vent to the vendor table, and they’d either have a solution for me or find a way to cheer me up. It’s useful to learn so much about weddings if you’re a vendor or about to get married…but personally I listen to just feel like everything will be okay. Anyone who wants to hear tea, laugh, or learn about weddings or photography, this is the podcast for you.

I personally am not a small business owner, not in the wedding industry but have multiple family and friends who are. Supporting your local artists & entrepreneurs is so important & I LOVE listening in on this podcast & following on Instagram. They are hysterical to listen to, their chemistry is perfect for a lighthearted but informative listen for someone who just loves talking about weddings or an aspiring photographer trying to learn. Any one who comments that the cursing / language takes any credibility away from their business or knowledge should reevaluate why they chose to listen to an podcast that specifically states “explicit” the first place. Pay more attention to what you’re clicking on if you don’t want to hear it. Keep doing your thing y’all!
