1️⃣ Choose the Right Location: Pick a spot that’s easily accessible but doesn’t interfere with the flow of your guests or other activities.

2️⃣ Plan for Weather: Ensure there’s coverage from the elements—think umbrellas, tents, or a stylish canopy.

3️⃣ Offer Signature Cocktails: Personalize your bar with a couple of unique drinks that represent you and your partner.

4️⃣ Create a Comfortable Vibe: Include seating around the bar for guests to relax and mingle, and add some ambient lighting to set the mood.

5️⃣ Have Enough Staff: A professional bartending team can ensure your guests are served quickly and safely, keeping the party flowing smoothly.

We do a lot of marquee weddings and these 4 aspects nearly always get overlooked and cause MASSIVE ISSUES on the day if not planned correctly.

1. Power supply often comes from a generator so you will need to know exactly what needs power and how much in the marquee. When you have a power plan you can determine what size generator and KVA you require.

2. Lighting is 2 part - the guests and the stage. Often fairy lights or festoons can cover guest spaces of the marquee giving good light for seeing what is what. The stage on the other hand needs focus spots etc to ensure photography and videography aren’t all black.

3. Climate is a must. Adding air con units for heat and cooling is a must. Clear marquees become a hot house like what you grow plants in and white marquees just contain the heat so you need to move it with a cooler. Guest experience is key cause no one likes to be uncomfortable.

4. Visually a marquee is a custom built shed so its wont have walls like a ballroom (unless it’s brand new 🤣).

If you want a perfect coloured wall or ceiling allow for draping in your budget. Anything can be achieved if it’s planned correctly.

We love a marque wedding and often they can blow out if your not 100% educated from day 1. It’s key to listen to someone who has done 100+ marquee weddings then to think your a genius but never done one 🤔🚀💣

E M B R A C I N G // the Emotions & Traditions of a Hindu Wedding ✨

As a wedding planner, it’s a true honor to guide couples through the sacred rituals of a Hindu ceremony, where every moment is infused with deep meaning and rich cultural heritage. 🌸

From the vibrant mehendi celebration to the spiritual vows of the saptapadi (seven steps), each tradition reflects a beautiful blend of love, faith, and family.

Here’s a little peek into the emotions behind the moments:
1. The Power of Rituals: Hindu ceremonies are filled with rituals that symbolize the couple’s spiritual and physical union. Each one carries profound significance, from the sacred fire (agni) to the exchange of vows (pheras). It’s about honoring both personal and ancestral connections. 🔥

2. Celebrating Togetherness: Hindu weddings are a family affair—it’s about unity, togetherness, and creating lifelong memories. Whether it’s the joyful baraat procession or the blessings of elders, there’s a beautiful sense of community. 👏

3. Vibrant Colors & Symbolism: From the bride’s stunning red saree to the intricate rangoli patterns, colors in Hindu weddings represent prosperity, purity, and good fortune. 🌺

4. The Spiritual Bond: Above all, these ceremonies celebrate the divine connection between two souls. The rituals reaffirm a lifelong partnership, founded on respect, love, and mutual growth. 💍

A wedding planner doesn’t just organize events— we help craft moments of magic, honoring traditions while creating new memories for the couple and their families. ✨

We often find our Hindu couples have 2 ceremonies
- one Hindu
- one western

Creating magic in all the ways is our thing!

Sikh Wedding Traditions are oftentimes confused with Hindu and Muslim wedding traditions, as they overlap in some cultural events.

A celebration that honours both heritage and personal choice, many aspects of a Sikh wedding focus on interpersonal moments between family members and the couple, ultimately reflecting on what truly matters in life do 🙏🏽

The Anand Karaj, the Sikh religious wedding ceremony, carries a variety of traditions catered to close family members, while the reception and other cultural events are grander celebrations that can complement the marriage union.

The Anand Karaj brings some sort of connection between the new couple and the Guru to make a joint promise that this is the lifestyle they intend to live to one another.

Though most South Asian weddings include a sangeet as well, they’re not required in Sikh weddings, but usually occur as most Sikhs are Punjabi. People can have their own spins and twists based on personal preferences where a few things are missing or are added, but the core parts will be standard.
Some core traditions that take place during the Anand Karaj wedding ceremony and a few Punjabi cultural marriage rituals are Anand Karaj, Baraat, Milni, Ardas, The Laavan, Sikhia, Jewelry Isn’t Required, Jaggo ♥️

T H E B U D G E T // is a topic most couples and planners just don’t discuss until your deep in it…..

Blows my mind how this happens because it’s a conversation we discuss in the first meeting - sometimes even in a discovery call it’s raised before we are engaged cause it’s just that important!

Here is our 5 budget tips:
1. Don’t pluck a number out of the sky cause you need to be educated on what every element actually costs for it to hold value. It’s like buying a house - buying a house or apartment in strat has pros and cons - so does a wedding
2. Do your own homework and due diligence and know the average wedding cost for 2023 is $79k (no bells and whistles just the must haves)
3. As a couple decide on the 3 key things the wedding must deliver - like food, styling, florals, drinks, entertainment etc as your budget will invest here over not so significant elements as you start planning your wedding.
4. Make your budget based on the cost of the vendors you desire to have. You planner can guide you here. Hiring a $10k photographer is not going to align to a $80k wedding - a $4.5k spend would!
5. As a couple have an adult conversation about what your comfortable investing for your wedding budget. Also factoring in if parents will be assisting and how many guests you desire as more guests = bigger venue cost as pricing is per person.

The budget conversation is a big and sometimes hard conversation if your relationship with money is not solid. Start early and build on the conversation is the best approach! You wont sort it in just 1 conversation.

We love walking the journey of planning a wedding with our couples. What we have found in our experience is when the budget is not clear or realistic a lot of time is wasted.

Setting the budget before you book anything is crucial! Book a discovery call and we can show why and how in far more detail.

S T Y L I N G // king tables at a wedding.

When styling your reception guest tables, careful planning is essential! For long king tables, make sure there’s enough space for the charger plate, cutlery, glassware, and a side bread plate down the sides.

If your catering style is alternate drop, the narrow middle strip is perfect for creating a romantic vibe with candles and fresh white florals. But for banquet-style setups, you’ll need to pull back on the decor in the center to leave enough room for the food.

Every detail matters when designing your wedding tables—success truly lies in the planning!

✨ Capturing the moments that matter most ✨

Our luxury bridal shoot often post ceremony and before canapés or reception isn’t just about creating beautiful images, it’s about capturing the raw emotions and intimate connections that define your love story. Yes we do 1st looks too but a bridal shoot is post the I DO anxiety and pre the fun of the day getting started. It’s a unique emotion and time that’s critical to capture with just the couple.

Here is 3 must know mistakes I see couples fall into before securing our service to make their wedding perfect.

1️⃣ Define your budget
— without a budget you will secure elements way out of your budget. For example you book photography at $10k but after doing your budget you should have invested $6500. If you do this for 5 elements you are quickly $17.5k overspend with 35 more things to book 😳 🥵😫

2️⃣ Account for gifts
— if your aunty is making the cake or uncle is making the canapés add this to your overall list. Also ensure the conversation is had for all the details as you don’t want to overlook parts or think someone is doing something which they end up not 🤔🫣🫤

3️⃣ Logistics of ideas
— having an idea of hanging florals or power/gas for the kitchen tent will all have hidden details of OHS safety plus labour that you need to account for. It’s key to listen the venue or a planner as their experience is invaluable - to often couples don’t listen resulting in blowing the budget and huge amounts of undue stress.

As your wedding planner, we can control, support and educate you on the wedding budget so you’re making the right decisions on every element/ vendor. Couples who over spend $17.5k have 3 options to make the rest of the wedding come together - invest more $$$$, reduce guest numbers or choose elements to forgo. When you secure us from day 1 we set you up for success so your not spending $10k on photo with an overall budget of $50k cause that just doesn’t make sense 🙃
