OVERVIEW

You get one chance to get it right. We have 18 Years of Event and Styling Experience.

You don't need to pay a wedding planner or a stylist if you have done all the hard work. A wedding coordinator will take your details and be there to ensure that they are carried out.

We are there during the lead up to your event and we are onsite to ensure that vendors are fulfilling their duties as per their contracts. Event mananagement begins long before the wedding day. Schedules are prepared, vendors are provided with timelines, maps, emergency contacts, wet weather plans etc. We are there to handle any issues that will arise on the day (shading, sheltering, assistance with bump in, parking etc). All of these details attribute to the smooth running of your wedding day. Without an onsite manager many of these details are often left too late, leaving the wedding party or their immediate families having to handle last minute calls from vendors, rather than being able to relax and enjoy the day.

Whilst we are happy to provide an initial overview of your wedding day and recommend suitable vendors, our job is to manage your wedding, prior to and on the day. Advance planning is the key. Leaving it to chance is never an option.

Price - We provide one price for Wedding Coordination within 80kms of the CBD. For your convenience we can also include a floral advisor on our team if you require extra help.

Inclusions - An experienced wedding coordinator, one assistant and a damn good wedding day!

Exclusions - Distance and Set Up Crews - We can still do it, but we need a little more info.

What we need from you - Confirmed Wedding Date, Confirmed Location, Confirmed Time.

Tip - Time is your most precious commodity. The greatest gift you can give yourself is the gift of an event planner.

Any tips for my wedding day timeline?

Wedding PA

Hi Guys

The best advice i can give you is to ensure that all vendors are on the same page.

Photographers need to know where to be and when to be there - please check with them before you set a timeline that they may not be able to keep up with, particular if they don't have a second shooter.

Right from the start of the day, they need to know the make-up artist's timelines. Start, finish, completion of the bride's make-up etc. Also, don't forget to confirm your bouquet delivery with your florist. If they are delivering flowers to your venue in the afternoon, a seperate delivery fee may be applied for the personal flowers earlier in the morning.

Another tip, and one that will avoid many details being overlooked - ensure that the MC, the DJ and Photographer are all informed about the running of the events throughtout the evening. They will need a running sheet to work from.

Leave nothing to chance. Lots of advance planning is the key. It's never too early to start on a time line.

How far ahead should you get an event planner?

I know where I want the wedding and the general look but it's not until 2020. How far ahead can I start getting things locked in? I want to be on top of it so the planning doesn't impact my thesis submission.

It really comes down to how much work you want the planner to do for you. Booking them two years in advance as an on-the-day-coordinator (for example) doesn't necessarily mean that they will spend two years working on your event. In most cases planners have a designated number of hours already calcualted into their fees.

If you have employed a wedding planner to work the event from start to finish - book as early as you can as you will need their input on everything.
