A Gen Z Take on Weddings: How Industry Experience Changes How You’d Plan Your Own with Courtney Pyke

In this episode of Now That I’m Engaged, How Do I Get Married?, Kevin Dennis and August Yocher sit down with Fantasy Sound's very own, Courtney Pyke, for a fun and honest conversation about how working in the wedding industry completely changes the way you’d plan your own wedding. As a Gen Z team member, Courtney shares what she’s learned from being behind the scenes at countless weddings and how that perspective has shifted what she would prioritize, simplify, and skip altogether. From guest experience and shifting traditions to trusting your vendor team and tuning out social media noise, this episode dives into what really matters when the big day arrives. They talk about why Gen Z couples are focusing more on interactive experiences and less on rigid traditions, why short and sweet speeches are becoming the norm, and how elements like live artists, arcade games, and dessert bars are replacing older wedding customs. Courtney also shares why trusting your vendors is key to actually enjoying your day and why not every detail needs to be perfect for a wedding to feel unforgettable. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by Pinterest boards, TikTok trends, or the pressure to make every detail symbolic, this episode is a refreshing reminder to focus on your relationship, your priorities, and the experience you want your guests to have. Courtney Pyke works at Fantasy Sound Event Services and has spent the past two years immersed in the wedding industry. From contracts and client communication to working events firsthand, she brings a Gen Z perspective shaped by real-world experience behind the scenes.
