FAQs

Planning a wedding can feel like a full-time job! It can involve hours of research and toing and froing with vendors.

So you can relax the morning-of and enjoy your day knowing that everything is under control.
A day-of wedding coordinator is responsible for making sure the wedding day or weekend is executed perfectly – including overseeing vendors, managing the timeline, and overcoming any last-minute challenges that arise during the festivities.
They’re a point person for vendors, so questions are diverted away from the happy couple and their families. Unlike the wedding planner who envisions and books the wedding, this person makes sure the already created plan is pulled off seamlessly in real-time.
On-the-day coordinators can take away any stress, even hiding problems that pop up, so you can focus taking in every moment of your day.
But isn’t that the venue’s job?
Some venues will come with a coordinator/event manager, and some are more hands on than others. If you’re having your wedding at a private property you’ll have a lot of logistics to manage, particularly on the day so unless you want to be running around doing everything yourselves… hire a coordinator!

As soon as your venue and date are confirmed. I would recommend asking for RSVPs at the same time. You can then send your formal invites with full details a few months out.

There’s a good chance your wedding will be the biggest – and best – event you’ll ever throw.
It’s hard to put a figure on it, but the average cost of a traditional wedding in New Zealand is around $40,000, but that’s not to say it can’t cost less… or a whole lot more.
There are all sorts of savvy cost saving tricks. And if you’re not so keen on dropping that much coin, why not consider doing things a little differently?
Another reason to get the help of a wedding planner!
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to ensure our special day went as smoothly as it did. i will recommend you to everyone!”
“You have the most reassuring, helpful warm and efficient touch. i wouldn’t have known what to do without you.”
Let’s talk details.
