Your Wedding Day Bestie
Naturally, you began Googling. Reading reviews about vendors. Enquiring. Asking your partner for their thoughts. Making lists. *Takes breath* Following countless Instagram accounts. Scrolling for what felt like years. And now your inbox is exploding with questions from vendors. But you don’t have the answers. So, you’re left elbow-deep in a tub of Ben & Jerry’s just to numb the stress.
So, somewhere along the way, you found me. Welcome! I am your go-to for all things weddings here to simplify things and add a tonne of fun to your day. So you can moonwalk out of stressville and back into that love bubble, while I plan or coordinate (or both!) your wedding.
You’re engaged!
*Throws confetti*
Firstly, I want all the juicy deets. Secondly, stay floatin’ around in that love bubble longer (you two look so cute in there!).
Let me guess. You started to plan your wedding. “It’ll be easy!” You said. “Cheaper too, right?” Spooning the froth off your cappuccino. “Stacey planned hers. How hard can it be?” Swiftly daydreaming of your dream day, shimmying into THAT getup and watching the sun melt into a hazy horizon with your love.
Relax.
Save time.
Have some freakin’ fun.
Save money (not kidding).
Oh, and also:
Here’s how to create your perfect wedding experience… with all your quirks, big ideas & significant love story details brought to life.

It’s true, I’m a sucker for luxe countryside weddings. There’s something magical about getting hitched hillside. Signing certificates at sunset. Swooning under the stars in regional Victoria… but I'm a sucker for all wedding in Melbourne and across Regional Victoria!
My love story with weddings began in 2017. My bro was planning his wedding on our Shepparton family property. Buuut he had no idea how to turn vision into reality. Not to mention planning, coordinating and putting it all together on the day. He just wanted to sip mid-morning whiskey on the rocks with friends instead! So I took the reins.

“I was blown away with the level of detail she goes into while working on your wedding. As a control freak myself I never in a million years dreamed I would have any type of planner or coordinator helping me - but Melanie was committed to making sure our wedding went exactly how we wanted it to go, so we could relax with our family and friends.”
