They are passionate, they’re creative and in my opinion, they are the BEST!

Content Killers

Hope from Content Killers (the absolute powerhouse behind my very own social media) is a true pro when it comes to capturing the magic of your wedding day. She works seamlessly alongside your media team (photographer and videographer) to snap epic behind-the-scenes content without missing a beat. The next day she has transformed those moments into stunning, social media-ready reels and clips, so you can instantly relive the best day of your lives—and share it with everyone who couldn’t stop talking about it!

Uptown The Band

LIVE MUSIC

So there’s a photo circulating the internet somewhere of me in budgy smugglers, swinging my shirt around my head at a wedding reception… and Ben & his Uptown bandits are responsible for making that moment happen! They offer a 2 to 5 piece band depending on how epic you want your wedding to be and these legends will have every single guest up & grooving til they’ve got blisters. Even Grandma will be busting moves, (hopefully not hips) as they really do have a way with music that makes everyone want to be on that dance floor.

Silent Shout Entertainment

DJ

Sam & his team say it best, “Our job is to make you want to break the rules”. And they totally do! Sam get’s to know your vibe, well before your big day, so that when he start’s dropping beats, it’s as if he’s reading your mind about what you wanna hear and when. He’s proactive not reactive and knows exactly when to change things up to make sure you & your guests are vibing every single moment. If you think a DJ is just curating a Spotify playlist and hitting play… then don’t waste your money. But if you know and understand the value of someone who loves music and creates shit hot dance floor vibes, then Sam is your man. Insta: @silentshoutent

Hungry Hearts Co.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Rhys’ passion for telling stories through his candid & calm AF approach to photography makes him one of my all time FAVOURITE photographers/humans. Rhys, like me, really gives a fuck about his couples, and so, there is no limit to your contact with him so that you can be sure to make a real connection before your wedding.

On the day, you’ll be so comfortable knowing that you’ve got a mate behind the lens, not a stranger, and his photos are proof of this! Do yourself a favour, check him out & lock him down! Also, book an engagement shoot so you don’t have to wait as long for the big day. Insta: @hungryhearts_co

Nathan Lo Monaco

LIVE MUSIC

To be blunt, playing music through a speaker as you walk down the aisle is BASIC AF… in comparison to walking down to live music, played by this legend!

I understand not every song can be covered by a soloist in the way you want, and if that’s the case, and you’ve got a favourite version of the song, then by all means, play it on a speaker. But, if you want to create the most epic atmosphere pre, during & post ceremony, get yourself a live muso!

Nathan’s voice is so incredibly unique, and I can (and do) listen to him for hours on end. He’s one of the most passionate and driven blokes I know and the music he produces is so rare, it really is a bloody pleasure to know him. On the wedding front, when he starts strumming away at that guitar and serenading you as you strut your stuff down the aisle, I can guarantee, even your toughest guests won’t be able to hold back their tears. Do yourself a favour and go watch him live, you’ll be man crushing him as hard as I do! Insta: @nate.sings

Isn’t It Lovely Events

EVENT PLANNER / STYLIST

If you’ve got the time & the patience to plan, install & pack down your wedding, then you’re probably a super hero and need to monetise that shit ASAP! But, if you’d rather enjoy your wedding and not have to worry about all the stress that usually comes with planning such an epic event, leave it to the professionals.

Chell & her team are exactly that! Professional planners & stylists that create the most amazing, stress free events so all you’re left to do is have a damn good time!

I highly recommend investing in Chell’s service if you’re prone to over thinking, struggle making decisions or just straight up couldn’t be assed to plan all the little details. Plus, who actually wants to pack down their own wedding the next day, when you’re more than likely hung over trying to make the most of the little time you have left with your favourite people before they all travel back home? Get yourself a Chell!

Hunter Valley Video

VIDEOGRAPHY

There’s not much I can say that will do Cory, Sam & their team of legends any justice… all I can do is recommend that you check out their work. Their ability to make you shed a tear at a complete strangers wedding video is a skill that they have absolutely mastered! Working with them is an absolute dream, and every time I arrive to a wedding and see one of them behind the camera, I literally jump with joy because I know that the finished product is going to be each couples FAVOURITE part of their wedding. I create moments that you’ll love, but these legends; they capture those moments so you can love them forever! Insta: @huntervalleyvideo

She’s savvy, and utilises the coolest bits & pieces from the environment around her to give your florals that extra unique touch.

Elegant Metal Vintage Cars

VINTAGE CARS

Luke & Ilyse’s ladies (the cars) are the most beautiful & immaculate fleet of vintage cars in the industry. Plus, and a huge plus, their drivers, your chauffeurs, are a bunch of laid-back legends!

LORDS COFFEE - ESPRESSO MARTINI MIXER

If you’ve ever been to a wedding that’s serving up cocktails post ceremony, you’ll know how bloody epic it is, and the legends at LORDS have done you one better and created the most epic of pre-mix’s EVER with their bloody tasty Espresso Martini Mix.

This is a great little addition to your post ceremony, pre reception drinks time and is sure to be an absolute hit with the guests. And if you’ve got a shit hot caravan bar like Peaches Vintage Caravan Bar to serve it from, even better.

It’s delicious, it’s nutritious and it’s a total panty dropper if you ask me.
