A bit about our founder
Love is a big deal.
I’ve been obsessed with the idea of love since the first time I married my barbie dolls.
You should have seen the wedding.
Since those synthetic nuptials, I’ve spent the majority of my adult life continuing on the obsession, having worked for 12 years in events both in Melbourne and London.
Coffee. My two Frenchies. Long walks. Plants. Late nights. Wine.
Black everything. Black Finn.
But that's enough. It's not me, it's you.
- Claire.

Testimonials
We are so incredibly thankful to Claire for her guidance, creativity, calm nature
and support during our wedding process.
She was exceptional at taking our vision and dream for the day and turning it into reality. Available when we needed her, we knew she was only a phone call or message away.
It's a precarious position to be in, planning a wedding and wanting to do some things yourself and out-source others, and she balanced these wants and needs with us perfectly. It never felt like she was taking over, or leaving us in the lurch. Her huge contribution to our wedding we will always remember as we
relive the day through video and photographs and we can never thank her enough!

Oh my god, Claire.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
You were a bloody angel and we are so so SO thankful. Calm, on the ball, fun, and all round kick ass. We simply cannot imagine the day without you.
You are freaking heaven sent and we can't stop telling people about it. Thank you!''

My husband and I (and bridal party and family!) cannot speak highly enough of Claire, or thank her enough for making our wedding day an absolute dream!! From our first conversation, Claire was so easy to talk to and was extremely thorough and knowledgeable - after finding myself getting very stressed out planning I felt immediately relieved after talking to Claire and trusted her completely to take over the reins.
Her communication was exceptional and she is so organized and on the ball – there was a few things I hadn’t even thought of until we had Claire sorting everything out for us! In addition to all her help, support and hard work planning and coordinating in the lead up, thanks to her on the day I was able to completely relax and enjoy every moment – we didn’t have to worry about a thing knowing Claire was there and had everything under control. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was just as we wanted, and was also a lovely, calming presence to have around. The day ran so smoothly and everything looked so stunning - even better than we imagined! We just couldn’t have asked for anything better. Claire was absolutely wonderful to work with, and we can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Claire!
