THE EVENT & WEDDING VENDORS WHO WE LOVE WORKING WITH

Event & WeddingVenues

Deciding where to host your wedding or event is a big decision, but hopefully, the below recommendations can give you some extra confidence as you plan your big day.

Things to take into account when picking a venue:

~ Venue size – Is the size of the venue suited to your guest list?

~ Style – if you are wanting beautiful styling, we can help you with that but it will be even better if the venue already has stunning features that compliment your styling theme.

~ Location – If you have a lot of guests from out-of-town then picking a venue that is close to hotels or close to transport options is a must.

Celebrants

Choosing the right celebrant is more than just about getting the right paperwork

We are lucky enough to be a party of 80+ weddings each year, which means we get to see lots of different vendors in action. Your choice of celebrant is about more than just completing the “necessary paperwork”. The right celebrant will compliment your personality, be able to read the room and customise a celebration that is unique to you and your fiance.

Here are some of our favourite local celebrants to help you tie-the-knot.
