To ensure we bring your vision to life we will review your venue and its location. You can send us Google Maps' pinpoint and images of your preferred setup location along with any inspirational photos you have found online. We will do our best to set up where you indicate on the day, however with outdoor weddings there are often tree roots, ditches, puddles etc on the day and we reserve the right to alter the plan as required for the safety of your guests. This usually means a slight change of angle or moving a few meters on either side.

4-6 weeks out we will send you a final booking questionnaire to confirm all the details. We know that plans can change in the weeks and months leading up to your wedding, so we like to double check the details, such as colour scheme and start time, as well as emergency contacts on the day and wet weather arrangements.

DO YOU SET UP AND STYLE THE WEDDING CEREMONY?
All of our Wedding Packages include delivery, setup & style, dismantle and removal of the items at the end of your ceremony.
WHY ISN'T YOUR PHONE NUMBER LISTED?
We communicate with lots of couples so we have found that the best way to keep track of all communications, updates and changes is via email. That way both parties have a detailed record that can be referred back to should we need to.
​
If you would like to discuss anything over the phone, please send us an email and we will book in a convenient time to have a chat with you.
​
But please understand that for record keeping purpose it is preferred that all communications are to be made via email.

Well, sometimes. We specialise in setting up and styling wedding ceremonies for both indoor and outdoor venues. We have a beautiful collection of custom items, some of them are perfect for receptions and we love to see them bringing your dreams to life!
We try to accommodate your request where we can, it ultimately comes down to our availability and the location of the venue. Minimum hire amounts and delivery fees apply.
CAN WE DRY-HIRE YOUR PROPS?
Dry-hire is when you hire props and equipment without the need of any accompanying operators or staff. So, basically a DIY type model where you do everything yourself.
You can dry-hire selected items, particularly those that are not fragile or do not require assembly*. The minimum hire amount is $500.00, excluding security bond, and other fees and charges.
For insurance purposes, we are unable to offer pick up.
