A few things you might be wondering
Wedding planning brings up a lot of questions, especially at the beginning. Below you’ll find answers to the ones couples ask most often as they’re deciding on support and next steps.
“I don’t know where to start with my wedding planning! What is the best place to begin?”
The best place to start is by arranging a consultation with me. We'll chat through your ideas, priorities and overall vision for the day, and I'll help determine which planning package will best suit your needs. From there, we'll focus on securing your venue, building your supplier team, establishing a budget and creating a clear roadmap for the planning journey ahead. My role is to simplify the process, provide expert guidance and make planning your wedding feel exciting rather than overwhelming. You can easily book a meeting with me using the calendar booking system on the contact page.
“My venue has its own coordinator, but I’d prefer you to plan my wedding. What should I do?”
Not a problem at all. In fact, a venue coordinator and a wedding planner have very different roles. Your venue coordinator works for the venue and oversees things like venue operations, catering, beverages and venue staff. As your wedding planner, I work for you. I manage the planning process, supplier team, styling, logistics, timelines and all of the details that bring your vision to life. We work together behind the scenes to ensure everything runs seamlessly, allowing you to enjoy the experience knowing every aspect of your wedding is being looked after.
“How far in advance of my wedding should I book with you?”
I recommend booking my services 12-18 months in advance. This timeframe allows us to take our time to carefully plan and secure your preferred vendors and essential hire items, ensuring everything aligns perfectly with your vision. Booking 9-12 months in advance is ideal to give you plenty of time to enjoy the planning process without feeling rushed. However, if you have a shorter timeline, don’t worry – just get in touch, and we can discuss how to make your dream wedding come together smoothly and enjoyably.
“Can you help us find a venue, and are you an approved vendor?”
Absolutely! I have extensive experience across a wide range of Byron Bay and hinterland venues and can help you find the perfect location to match your vision, guest count and budget. Many venues require couples to work with approved vendors, and I am an approved planner at many of the region's most sought-after venues. I'll take your preferences, priorities and overall wedding experience into consideration to recommend venues that are the best fit for you and your celebration.
“What is the difference between full coordination, partial planning, and month-out coordination?”
Full coordination supports you from start to finish covering every stage of the planning journey. From developing your wedding concept, sourcing and booking all vendors, managing logistics, budgets, and styling, right through to on-the-day execution, it's for couples who want expert guidance every step of the way.
Partial planning is ideal for couples who’ve already locked in a few key suppliers, like your venue, catering, florist, or photographer, but want ongoing professional support to refine the vision, fill in the gaps, and stay on track. It includes regular check-ins, a design brief, planning documents, and full coordination on the day.
Month-out coordination steps in closer to the date, usually around 30 days out, once you’ve planned most elements yourself. We take over communication with your vendors, finalise the run sheet, confirm all logistics, and oversee the day to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Each service provides a different level of support depending on how much help you want, and where you are in the planning process.
My commitment to personalised service, attention to detail, and passion for creating unique, memorable weddings. Think of me as your creative designer, project manager and trusted guide, all in one! I strive to understand each couple’s vision and bring it to life with creativity, dedication, and professionalism. Your wedding day is as important to me as it is to you, and I am dedicated to making it extraordinary. With me by your side, you’ll have a trusted confidant who cares deeply about making your dream wedding a reality.
“What sets you apart from other wedding planners?”
If you're planning a destination wedding, balancing a demanding career or simply want to enjoy your engagement without feeling overwhelmed, a wedding planner can save you countless hours of research, decision making and logistical coordination. My role is to remove the stress, provide expert guidance and ensure your wedding day runs seamlessly from start to finish.
