One of the first things I ask my couple is 'Who are you working with as your Planner'?
The reason for this is - they are invaluable in making your day become a 'Dream Day'.
Looking back at my own wedding, I realised that being in control of everything on the day,
PLUS being the bride was actually no fun.. I can't remember a lot as I was soooo busy being everywhere that I wasn't actually fully in the moment.
And that very special moment passes very quickly.
Speaking to one of my favourite Planner's in the Byron region, Kiera from Creative Weddings
I asked her what are some of the most important parts of her role that she offers her clients.
This is why each and every wedding that I work with Kiera and her team always turns out to be such a wonderful success.
Kiera's top 15 (there are more she does - these are just the top)
Personalised Consultation: Offer bespoke consultations to thoroughly understand the couple's vision and preferences.
Venue Scouting: Scout and secure high-end venues that match the couple's desired aesthetic.
Budget Management: Create and manage a detailed budget, ensuring top-tier quality while respecting financial limits.
Vendor Selection: Source and collaborate with premium vendors, from caterers to florists, renowned for their exceptional quality and service.
Vendor Liaison: Act as the primary point of contact for all vendors, coordinating logistics and timings.
Design and Styling: Develop a unique design and styling concept for the wedding, including themes, colour schemes, and décor.
Themed Decor and Floral Arrangements: Design and coordinate unique themed decor and floral arrangements to bring the wedding space to life.
Signature Lighting and Sound Design: Craft an atmospheric lighting and sound setup to enhance the ambience of the wedding venue.

Leave it to the professionals, pour yourself a champagne and just float into one of the best celebrations of your life. Just like Lauren and Jordan's wedding day at Earth House Byron Bay - it was nothing short of divine.
