Wedding Planning Reviews

  • "Incredibly responsive and available whenever we needed her throughout the planning process."

They don't just plan weddings; they create unforgettable, inclusive experiences that celebrate love in all its forms. We couldn't recommend them more highly!”

From finding the perfect vendors, setting up the most magical reception, to putting out all the little fires… These guys made everything perfect.

    R&J

  • "This team hold such a special place in our hearts and we honestly couldn't recommend them higher! xx”"

    “I can not even put into words our experience with the team @ The Other Bridesmaid. They were there EVERY step of the way - from a large-ish wedding up in North QLD mid/late 2023, to very wild decision of the smallest elopement down in the Hinterlands of North NSW in mid 2022 with a time frame of pretty much 6 months to organise. Everything I (and my husband) pictured for our day and put forward, was created into so much more than we could have even imagined. We can't be more grateful for the beautiful day that was our day.”

    J&B

  • "You hit the ground running with us and kept up with my 192737 email threads with ease."

    “Thank you so much for your tireless work in creating our special day. Nothing was ever to much to ask, with multiple changes and requests you both went above and beyond… Our day was truly wonderful, even with me as a stress head you coordinated it flawlessly, thank you SO MUCH for fixing the on the day ‘situation’ that occurred… It’s a unique thing to have complete trust in someone in planning a wedding I feel, but with 2 young babies and a busy household it became a manageable task all thanks to you both. I cannot thank you enough”

    L&L

  • "We got so many comments from guests that it was the best wedding ever.”

    “The team had everything under control in the weeks leading up to it, so much so that I was worried at one point that it was too easy and there must be something I was missing (which of course wasn't the case)!! The styling was amazing and the day ran perfectly (even with a wet weather contingency plan that had to be used). We got so many comments from guests that it was the best wedding ever.”

    M&C

  • "They took so much stress out of planning and ran the entire day seamlessly. All our guests are still raving about them."

    “Such a breathe of fresh air from the moment I met her, nothing was ever too much of a hassle and my day went perfectly. The styling was breathtaking and having been as a part of the process was honestly the most worth while part. I was truely relaxed knowing The OB was in charge”

    A&B

  • "The OB is so organised and easy to deal with."

    “The OB is so organised and easy to deal with.

    S&E

  • "Every detail executed the way we had envisioned."

    “Right from the start, we knew The OB was the right choice… Making our wedding so wonderful and stress free!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

  • Understanding the difference between wedding planning and wedding coordination is essential for making the right choice for your celebration.

    Wedding Planning is ideal for couples who want to sit back, relax, and enjoy every moment of their wedding journey. Our full planning package alleviates all pressures and stress as we handle everything for you. From researching and booking your suppliers and venue to managing your guest list and budget, we coordinate every detail throughout the process and on your wedding day itself plus much, much more.

    Wedding Coordination, on the other hand, is tailored for couples who have already made significant progress in planning but need assistance on the day itself. This package is perfect for those who want to manage their planning independently but require support in the lead-up to, and on, their wedding day. We will create your run sheet and manage communications with your suppliers during the final week, ensuring that everything is in place. On your wedding day, our team will be there to set up, style, and coordinate all guests and vendors, allowing you and your loved ones to fully embrace the love and excitement of the day.

    Both services are designed to create a seamless experience, but wedding planning offers comprehensive support throughout the entire process, while wedding coordination focuses on executing your plans flawlessly on the big day.

    If you have any further questions, please get in touch today.

  • The ideal timeframe for booking your wedding venue is typically 12 to 18 months out from your big day. This advance planning ensures you secure the perfect location that aligns with your vision, especially if you're considering popular Gold Coast and Brisbane wedding venues.

    However, we understand that life can sometimes throw unexpected timelines your way. If you find yourself in need of a venue after this timeframe, don’t worry! Our dedicated team is here to assist you in securing a beautiful venue, no matter the schedule.

  • When it comes to booking your wedding suppliers, it’s generally best to have all vendors secured a minimum of 6 to 8 months out from your big day. This timeframe allows you to choose from a range of options and ensures that you can lock in all 20+ suppliers.

    If you find yourself beyond this timeframe, please reach out to us as soon as possible, as you may be facing a wedding emergency.

    At The Other Bridesmaid, we ensure every detail is taken care of for you. Rest assured, we will leave no stone unturned in making your wedding dreams a reality.

  • If you're working with The Other Bridesmaid, you're in safe hands at any stage of your wedding journey.

    If you're planning a wedding for the first time and work 30+ hours a week, we recommend starting your planning 18 to 24 months out. This timeframe allows you to dedicate ample time to researching, communicating with vendors, styling, and sorting out logistics without feeling rushed.

    On average, you can expect to spend 200 to 300 hours in total planning your own wedding.

    Here's an easy formula to work out how many hours you can expect to work on your wedding:

    300 hours ÷ [Number of Weeks Until Your Wedding]

    = [Hours per Week You Should Spend Planning]

  • Yes! All of our services include setup (bump in) and pack down (bump out) for everything from The Other Bridesmaid stock, handled seamlessly by our dedicated coordinators.

    For items outside of The Other Bridesmaid hire, we offer pack down services as an add-on, ensuring that all of your family and friends can fully enjoy your special day without any worries.

  • You can be as involved as you wish. Whether you prefer to take the reins or let us handle the details.

    The Other Bridesmaid wedding planners are here to support you every step of the way. With our planning, styling & coordinating expertise, we transform what is often a stressful planning process into an exciting and enjoyable journey, ensuring your wedding reflects your unique vision while allowing you to savour your last months before becoming husband and wife.
