In this episode of Wedding Day Podcast, host Sonja Babich and co-host Sydney Stevens, Editor of Wisconsin Bride and Nebraska Wedding Day and Managing Editor of Minnesota Bride, sit down with Brit Grosenick, the vibrant founder of Happy Joy Candy Co., to explore how sugar, glitter and a whole lot of intention can transform a wedding guest experience.

What started as a cheeky dare involving champagne and a cotton candy machine quickly evolved into one of Wisconsin's most whimsical and in-demand wedding activations. Brit shares how she spun her background in hospitality into a joy-fueled business that now includes everything from her signature glitter bombs to gourmet treats and mobile dessert displays. Her signature drink toppers — infused with edible glitter and custom designs — delight guests with a sweet surprise that dissolves into cocktails, mocktails and even hot cocoa.

Brit's on-site experiences are more than a vendor station; they're performance art. From hand-spun cotton candy made to order to a retro-chic cart named El Dora (built by her own parents), every detail is curated with the utmost care. As she collaborates with planners and couples, Brit ensures that the style of her set-up (and the flavors) fit seamlessly into the wedding aesthetic — no two events look the same.

Throughout the episode, Brit highlights how she says "yes" to client requests and often invents new offerings based on those ideas — from Rice Krispie treats wrapped in cotton candy to a glitter-lollipop DIY station. Her creativity has also sparked brand extensions for corporate events, personalized favors and even seasonal experiences. She shares how she stays inspired by working in community kitchens alongside other women-led culinary businesses.

Listeners also hear about trends Brit's seeing across the industry, including the rise of multi-day wedding experiences, immersive entertainment and guest-centered planning. Her passion for playfulness and personal touches resonates through every story she shares.

For couples seeking a wedding experience that's equal parts elevated and unforgettable, Brit's advice is simple: Let your personality shine, don't be afraid to be whimsical and make joy the center of your celebration.
