“Jackie is incredible and was my absolute saviour. Like many brides, I decided to DIY my wedding - I took on way to much and ended up completely overwhelmed. A few weeks out I realised that I really needed help on the actual day to set everything up so I reached out to Jackie for on--the-day help - but she is so much more than that. In the lead-up she sent though detailed checklists and timeline templates for me to use, contacted all my suppliers and assisted with anything I needed. On the day she executed all the set up at the venue, everything from signs to styling items to flowers. It was perfection - you would think I had hired a professional stylist. She then spent the rest of the evening keeping track of the timeline and making the night run smoothly. Best money I've ever spent!”

“Jackie was so amazing! We had a lot of “fires” that had arisen the week of the wedding! I called her in tears and she came to the rescue and more! Jackie was a delight on the day! She helped everything run so smoothly! My day wouldn’t have been as perfect if it wasn’t for Jackie!! I would recommend her for the rest of my life!”

“Jacalyn is INCREDIBLE! There’s not enough words to thank her for what she did for us on our wedding day and in the lead up to the big day. Her name was saved in my phone as my “wedding fairy godmother” She went above and beyond and kept me calm , kept me hydrated and ensured the venue was set up to how I wanted it. She came through and just took her and that’s what I needed. She is a natural and truly amazing at what she does and I cannot wait to continue to see her business grow and watch other couples book Jacalyn”

  • A wedding coordinator is your right-hand person and the executor of your vision. You hand over the plans, and we take over all the complex logistics to bring them to life.

    We ensure a seamless, stress-free day by:

    • Managing the Timeline: Keeping everyone, from vendors to the wedding party, on schedule.

    • Solving the Problems: Handling any last-minute questions or emergencies (no more you sorting out the wet-weather options!).

    • Protecting Your Day: Acting as the primary point of contact so that you are never bothered with vendor queries or details while you're getting ready.

  • While we are certainly biased, we firmly believe a Wedding Coordinator is the single most vital investment for peace of mind on your wedding day.

    You've spent months planning, but you can’t execute and enjoy your own event. That's where we step in. We are your professional day-of manager, ensuring your carefully crafted vision becomes a reality without adding stress to your shoulders, or burdening a family member with tasks.

    We:

    • Run the Show: Execute the final timeline down to the minute.

    • Manage All Vendors: Act as the sole point of contact for every supplier, from their arrival to their departure.

    • Handle the Unexpected: Discreetly problem-solve any issues, from a late delivery to a weather change.

    • Protect Your Experience: Check in on you, keep you hydrated, and ensure you are only focused on getting married.

    The short answer is yes: If you want your wedding party and family to be guests, not staff, a coordinator is essential.

  • What’s the difference between a Venue Manager and a Wedding Coordinator?

    This is one of the most critical distinctions to understand when planning your day.

    In short: Your Venue Manager looks after the venue’s interests. Your Wedding Coordinator looks after your interests.

    Think of it this way: If your florist is late, or your photographer runs over the allotted time, it is highly unlikely the Venue Manager will call them to chase up. They are waiting for their caterer.

    As your Coordinator, I proactively manage these external moving parts. If photos run over time, I manipulate the timeline, inform all necessary vendors of the change, and implement the solution to keep your entire celebration running smoothly.

    The Venue Manager manages the building; I manage the entire event.
