FAQ

Planning a wedding is a wonderful and exciting time for couples. I mean, most brides have been dreaming about their wedding day for a very long time. But where do you start? It can be very overwhelming planning such a big event. A wedding planner can help with ideas, finding quality suppliers and generally keep on top of all the countless decisions and help you have a stress and worry- free engagement.

It takes many, many, many hours of planning a wedding. Finding a suitable venue for your ceremony and reception, a celebrant that you connect with, a photographer, a wedding cake and many other suppliers takes lots of research. There are so many suppliers in each category and all have different styles, different packages and prices and people working in the industries will have different personalities. Coordinating all these different things requires good organisation and oversight. And these are just some aspects of planning a wedding. There are many more details to be considered. This can be stressful and cause some worry, confusion and frustration and often brides and grooms may think it is all too difficult. This can particularly be the case when you are working full-time or also have family responsibilities.

A wedding planner will do all the leg work for you and help make this an easy, fun and enjoyable time for you.

This seems to be a point that many wedding planners offer. The short answer is yes, wedding planners can save you money in the long run.

They do this by carefully reviewing your budget, make careful decisions about what is important to YOUR wedding, compare many vendors and suppliers to find one who is both high quality and suits your budget, and of course can negotiate with vendors about special deals and inclusions. 

However, not every wedding planner is the same or offers the same services, so make sure you find one who you feel comfortable with and is open and honest about what they can do for you.

My suggestion is to contact me and find out all about my services and package inclusions.

I offer an obligation free meeting either via phone, Skype or in person to getting to know each other, and finding out your vision for your event and how I can help make it a reality. 

I have a Psychology background and I am a great listener. I can provide quality support and take your perspective on what is important to you and help you make your dream a reality.

If you feel a connection to me and feel comfortable with me, then I am the planner for you! 

I am a highly personable, caring and passionate individual. I have a degree and a PhD in Psychology from which I gained many skills that will help create amazing weddings, including attention to detail, great planning and organisation and commitment. From this, I also have the ability to really understand your own unique perspective, hopes, dreams and fears about your wedding day and help you take away all the stress and worries. I have a strong desire to make you happy on your wedding day, as well as make your engagement period enjoyable. 

Further to this, I have strong environmental and moral beliefs in that I want to do a little harm to the environment, other peolpe and animals as possible. I care about reducing our environmental footprint, conserve environmental habitats and eliminate animal cruelty. I want our children and future generations to have the opportunities to experience all the wonders of our great planet. While these beliefs are not directly related to planning weddings and events, they do underpin everything I do with great care and love for others.

Mandy was so helpful along the journey for our wedding preparation. There are numerous emails and meetings to confirm all details. Mandy provided a useful online platform to record all wedding relevant information which is very useful. Mandy helped us coordinating all suppliers on the wedding day and moving around the decorations and flowers. Everything went smoothly as planned and all looked stunning! Thank you Mandy and highly recommended.

My husband and I got married at Maxwell wines last week and we would not have had such an amazing day without the support from Mandy, the main wedding planner from Godswood. Mandy had many contacts with vendors and if some items were out of our price range, she negotiated or looked elsewhere to ensure we had the best value and managed the wedding within our budget. On our wedding day, Mandy coordinated everything, from the flowers, the arbour, the food, music, etc. to ensure a seamless day. To all brides, you will not go wrong with hiring Mandy.

Having Godswood Event Planning plan our vow renewal was the best decision we made. Mandy was amazing; she found fantastic suppliers to suit our event, she made sure every little detail was covered during the lead up and on the day itself, and she was incredibly supportive throughout. We couldn't have planned such a beautiful event without her.

Thank you so much Celine for your lovely words. It was an absolute pleasure to be there for you on the day and create a beautiful vow renewal.

How big should our wedding party be?

Godswood Event Planning

As with a lot of things for a wedding, this is entirely up to you! You can have as many or as few bridesmaids and groomsmen as you like and its a completely personal choice. Some things to consider might be: Who would you want around you in the morning of your wedding day and getting ready with you? Who do you trust to be supportive as you plan your wedding? Do you want a lot of people around you to make it really fun or exciting? Or would you prefer to just have your absolute best friend or family member there to help you stay calm? 

The larger the bridal party, the larger will your expenses be, depending on who will pay for what, if you decide to pay for everything for your bridesmaids and groomsmen, or if they will contribute financially. These are the most typical costs in relation to bridal parties: outfits, shoes, jewellery, hair and make up, flowers (bouquets & buttonholes) and gifts.

In the end, pick who you like, but don't feel compelled to invite someone into your bridal party because you think you SHOULD. This often only leads to stress and disappointment if that person does not support you in the way that you need. 

How do I know what to do next?

Godswood Event Planning

You can either work with a professional wedding planner who will keep track of absolutely everything that needs to be done and when and will help you with this, or there are a lot of checklists out there, including Easy Weddings, that will show you a list of tasks in the leadup to your day.

How can I incorporate something special at the end of the ceremony?

Godswood Event Planning

This is something that you will need to work with your celebrant or priest with. A lot of them are very flexible and can include a variety of special and unique rituals into your ceremony. Examples could be a special reading by a family member or friend, a handfasting ceremony, a candle ceremony, planting a tree, or anything else that is personal to you as a couple. I highly recommend my clients to do something special like this because it makes your ceremony unique and memorable.
