No! While we really love the styling aspect of every wedding, our dedicated planners handle everything from styling to accommodation, venue hire to catering, hair and make up to entertainment, and transport to videography. We pride ourselves on making your job as easy as turning up on the day and saying I do. Planning a wedding can be very stressful, especially if its across the country, so we are here to relieve that pressure and make your wedding day as magical and stress-free as possible.
We also organise engagements, Hens & Bucks parties, pre-wedding dinners, recovery days, and child minding. You name it, we can do it!
Yes we do! Our magical Rainforest Grotto is located just outside of Port Douglas, in a secret location, guest access only by bus. There is no curfew, a maximum sit down capacity of 500 people, and has catering and toilet facilities, as well as plenty of space for sit down or cocktail style events. This beautiful venue can be used for both ceremonies and receptions, and can be styled any way that you would like. It is a blank canvas, and you are holding the brush!
While we love our little slice of paradise amongst the tropical rainforest, we understand that this is not what everyone wants. We work with almost every venue in the Port Douglas, Cairns and Daintree areas and have great relationships with many of the local suppliers.
While Port Douglas is our main area of expertise, we are more than willing to travel as far south as Cairns, north to the Daintree and west to Mareeba.
Yes! We encourage all our clients to add their own special touch whether it be providing DIY items, sentimental features or items of furniture.
Of course you can, we actually love getting deliveries! It means we are able to keep everything safe and together in preparation for your big day, so you don' have to worry about lugging it from wherever you're coming from.
Yes, in fact we encourage it. There is a Dan Murphy's in Cairns which delivers to Port Douglas and is much more cost effective than getting your caterers to organise it. We are also happy to pick it up for you and store it in our office until your big day.

Get Expert AdviceIs a one hour time gap between ceremony and canapes ok?
We are looking to have our ceremony at 3pm, and then canapes to start at 5pm, this means there will be a one hour gap from 4pm-5pm. Looking to have both the ceremony and reception at the same venue. Is it acceptable? To entertain guests, there will be a photobooth along with a few platters of snacks, and a bar tab on soft drinks and coffee/tea. Alcohol will be available at 5pm once canapes start. Or if they prefer, they can explore the venue gardens and take some photos.

Hi Anna,
How lovely to hear from you!
We have lots of clients who have gaps between ceremony & recpetion! Most couples who are having both at the 1 x venue will either just offer drinks during the time gap or the guests will head into town to do as they please for an hour or so. We generally recommend the second option as this gives our team time to pack down the ceremony without the guests being there. Where are you planning on having your wedding?

Beach wedding locations around Australia. Any ideas?
We are looking at a small beach wedding early next year with just immediate family. We are looking for locations and ideas as to where we can go, hire a few houses and just have a 5-7 day wedding with family. Would love some ideas .
