S2 | E2: Confessions from the Grazing Table

Ever wonder how a grazing table becomes the main character at your wedding?


In this episode, I sit down with Megan, the creative mind behind Boise Beauty Boards, to talk about the rise of charcuterie in the wedding world — and what it really takes to stand out. From camera shyness to creative control, Megan shares how she turned a hobby into a thriving business while navigating social media, client demands, and Idaho’s growing wedding scene. We dive into flavor pairing, licensing logistics, and why those viral charcuterie cups are more than just cute.


Whether you're a bride, groom, vendor, or just love food styling drama — this one’s sharp, sweet, and perfectly balanced.

About the Podcast

The Vendor Confessional
Weddings are sacred. This booth? Slightly scandalous.
Welcome to The Vendor Confessional, where the people behind the aisle step up to the mic and speak their truth. Each week, we sit down with wedding vendors who’ve seen it all: the chaos, the magic, the meltdowns, and the moments no one talks about. From florist fails to catering secrets, from burnout to boundaries, nothing’s off-limits inside the booth.

If you're a bride, groom, vendor, or just nosy (no shame), take a seat. It's time to confess.
