how much to kick off your ‘best day ever’ with moi?

THE SARAHMONY.

  • This is where the magic happens.

    Based on how you picture your dream ceremony, I’ll craft it from scratch (no cringeworthy, 17th century excerpts here!), package it all up, with just the right amount of feels, and have your guests walking away thinking ‘that was SO THEM!’

    Each of my Sarahmonies are warm, upbeat, personal and written to your unique style and preferences.

    Let me discover what makes you and your chosen person the best combination since cookies and milk. I’m here to celebrate your story along with all your weird habits and inside jokes, with just a dash of formalities to make it all legit.

THE SIDEKICK.

  • I used to be a high-flying executive support officer in the government, juggling so many tasks it felt like I had a whole bunch of balls in the air at once, and I thrived on it! Now add in my love for weddings – it's like the perfect recipe for some on-the-day coord magic.

    This is perfect for those couples who’ve planned every detail of their wedding with laser precision, right down to the last petal on the flower arrangement. But who's going to make sure all those plans actually come together flawlessly on the big day? (moi, it’s moi.)

    Having a pro like me at the helm means you can kick back and relax, knowing someone’s got your back every step of the way. I'll be the ninja behind the scenes, making sure everything runs smoother than butter on a hot pan. I'm not about to let your name plates be wonky or your front row seat go to anyone but Nonna. I'm all about those fine details that make your day truly sparkle.

  • In the lead up:

    • one additional pre-wedding meeting (can be held virtually) so we can go through every single detail of how the day will unfold

    • unlimited consultation via phone and email (still stands) so you can run your 2am thoughts up my flagpole and relax knowing I’ll follow it up

    • creation of your detailed runsheet, all the way down to the nitty gritty, so you can feel confident every detail is captured

    • creation of your event brief so all vendors are working to the same specs and everything flows smoothly

    • vendor liaison (from six weeks out) so you’re not bothered by last minute stressors and can actually rest and gear up for of your best day ever!

    On the day:

    • obvs (and most importantly) coordinate your entire shebang*, ensuring we adhere to timelines, nothing goes missed and you and your guests are catered to, like the stars they are, at all times

    • be the point-of-contact and manage all your top-notch vendors (including managing anything that may go awry BTS) so they stay informed, fed and watered and you can sit back, relax and concentrate on having fun together

    • impeccable attention-to-detail and instinctual initiative (this can’t be taught) meaning I’ll always be one step ahead and conducting the day with your best interests at heart

    • little tasks with big impact which go without saying (but I’ll say them anyway): photo wrangling; chatting to, welcoming and herding your guests; making sure the VIPs are taken care of; set-up and styling assistance (if required); prepping vendors and speakers; floor and seating plan assistance; carting things / repurposing props; running errands; veil carrying etc etc. Essentially anything and everything as your trusty sidekick!

    *includes 8 hours on-the-day coordination (not including the ceremony hour) starting from when would be most beneficial for your peace of mind; and ending when the formalities are over, unless hours are exhausted prior

PIMP YOUR EXPERIENCE.

  • $100

    In my personal opinion, you don’t need a rehearsal. My ceremonies are not a performance and you already know how to walk and stand. However ~ it’s important that you feel relaxed enough to take it all in, so if you would benefit from a rehearsal to visualise where you and I will be standing, I offer this onsite (pending my availability around other weddings) at an additional cost (for bookings made after Jan 2024).

  • $70

    Once your wedding is registered, you’ll need to purchase your official marriage certificate through BDM to do any changing of names. This is the legal document required to prove your marriage (not the pretty commemorative marriage certificate I give you on your wedding day - though it is still an official document!). I can order your official marriage certificate on your behalf, I just ask that you cover the cost.

  • $30

    I’ve teamed up with Canberra Calligrapher, Allira to offer my couples the chance to have their wedding certificate hand inked by Canberra’s original and finest event calligraphy artist. With funds going directly to Allira, you can have the fanciest, shmick lookin’ certificate in all of the land, you just have to ask! Just check out her strokes here! *1 month minimum notice required.
