ABOUT
“Love that shimmers memories to the surface. Celebrations that spark new conversations. A togetherness elevated by Regional Victoria’s beauty...that’s what lights a flame inside of me.
I believe the most memorable celebrations are about understanding people, not following trends. Let’s carefully and intentionally curate your stunning day.
This isn’t about creating someone else’s vision of perfection... it’s about colouring your wedding with the beautiful parts of what makes you two who you are, as one. And featuring the kind of thoughtful details that make your guests wonder how you made it all look so effortless.
The truth is, behind every effortless moment is someone who knows exactly what they’re doing. It would be our privilege for myself and the Mellyrain Creative team if you chose us to be those people.”
A CELEBRATION CURATOR
"I GENUINELY DIDN’T
HAVE A WORRY
ABOUT ANYTHING"
How seamless it was to just go about our wedding. I’m a control freak so handing over the reins is always hard, but Mel was absolutely incredible. I’m actually crying writing this with how grateful I am that I got to enjoy the day with Matt. Mel just gets things done. She is everything and more.
- MADI & MATT
"WE WERE SO RELAXED & SOAKED UP ALL THE MAGIC MOMENTS"
Melanie was our on the day coordinator, and looked after our vendor communications. She crafted the BEST run sheet I’ve ever seen and kept what was important to Matt and I at the forefront. Most importantly, we felt totally at ease throughout the whole wedding planning process and on the day.
- DEANDRA & MATT
"MY WHOLE WEDDING PLANNING EXPERIENCE WAS STRESS-FREE"
From the moment I was introduced to Mel, I instantly felt like everything was under control. If I had any questions, she was there to answer them. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her!
- MAREE & JOSEF
"THIS ISN’T JUST A JOB TO MEL - IT’S HER PASSION"
I confess, I was one of those brides who thought I didn’t need a wedding planner. Without her we wouldn’t have found the most caring and hardworking suppliers who made the day unforgettable. Honestly, we wouldn’t have been able to pull off the incredible event and our wedding wouldn’t have been the raging success it was without Mel.
- ELISE & GREG
"THEY BROUGHT OUR VISION TO LIFE"
Mel and Megan’s coordination, hard work and love for what they do was an absolute asset to the wedding planning journey. When Mel came on the scene, all our stress was squashed! Our day wouldn’t have been as seamless, easy or carefree without the team. We cannot thank them enough for making our day unforgettable!
- monica & David
"MELANIE IS MORE THAN A WEDDING PLANNER"
She has a genuine care for the couples she works with. We found her extensive knowledge super helpful as we juggled wedding planning amongst our busy lives. She cared about the event running smoothly and the people that were a part of it!
- pip & graeme
FAQ's
WHY SHOULD WE CHOOSE YOU?
We're the Regional Victoria specialists with dual expertise - Melbourne connections and countryside knowledge. Limited to 25 couples annually for personalised attention, and full styling included in all planning packages.
CAN YOU PLAN PROPERTY WEDDINGS?
Absolutely! All property weddings include mandatory Site Visit Enhancement ($499 + GST) meetings for expert logistics planning, with optional setup and pack-down services. These are discussed at time of enquiry.
WHAT IF YOU DON’T GET MY VISION?
We limit bookings throughout the year so our attention is fully and utterly devoted to you. This allows ample time to get to know you two. We have ways to ‘vision check’ we’re on the same page throughout our process.
I’M A CONTROL FREAK, WILL THIS WORK?
We completely see how collaborating on your day can feel daunting at first. Though for many self-confessed control freaks that’s until they see that we care about the day as much as you, and seamless delivery is our domain.
WILL THIS REALLY BE VALUABLE?
Whether you choose time-saving advisory services, a curated planning package or on-the-day coordination delivered with finite precision... the number 1 feedback we receive is ‘we never could’ve done this alone!
HOW FAR AHEAD SHOULD WE BOOK?
Full Planning: 15-18 months
Partial Planning: 12-15 months
Coordination: 4+ months
1:1 Guide: 2-4 weeks following online consult

WHO WILL COORDINATE OUR WEDDING?
Full/Partial Planning: Melanie personally coordinates your day. Coordination only: Senior Wedding Coordinators (confirmed during booking process). All coordinators maintain our signature standards.
MY VENUE HAS A COORDINATOR. DO I REALLY NEED A WEDDING PLANNER?
Venue coordinators excel at managing their property, but in most cases, they don't coordinate external vendors, styling details, or your personal timeline. We manage every element of your celebration for seamless execution - from first coffee to final dance. It’s this end-to-end detail that makes us an asset to your wedding team. And the team who work with your venue coordinator to elevate your day. So you enjoy the leadup and your wedding day to its fullest.
