This week Sara talks to the lady behind an Irish digital company called My Wedding Whizz. Laura Downes started the business in 2021 after being a bridesmaid for many years and experiencing the fatigue of wedding admin! The lightbulb moment struck when Laura was at her friend`s wedding over a Christmas holidays, there were piles upon piles of wedding cards with generous amounts of cash money! Laura and the bridesmaids had the task of moving and containing the cash as it piled up in the hotel safe. They got it all done and then realised the next day, no banks open for days of course! This was the festive season! This was one of the reasons Laura whipped up the idea for My Wedding Whizz.
