THE BRIEF

Overwhelmed by planning a private property wedding and taking on the organisation themselves, realising they couldn’t do all the setup on the day themselves and would need someone else to bring the vision to life.

In addition to helping stick to budget – ensure house didn’t get trashed and recommending quality vendors

THE PROBLEM

Vendor issue and needing a replacement caterer to adhere to a budget.

Advice on correct drink stock and ice levels

Small issues on the day included coffee machine not working, fighting the wind, last minute addition of extra food brought in by family and ensuring the aisle was clear of kangaroo droppings

THE SOLUTION

Found a new caterer.

Provided drink counts based on expert knowledge

Fixed all issues as they arose.

THE FEEDBACK

Amie joined us as our wedding coordinator for our Feb 2026 wedding, and she truly went above and beyond for us. When she stepped in four months before the big day, we were overwhelmed and exhausted after being ghosted and scammed by our caterer. From the moment she came on board, she brought calm and unwavering support.

She guided us through difficult conversations, connected us with a lawyer, and even introduced us to other brides who had gone through similar situations. Her help during that time was invaluable, we genuinely don’t know how we would have made it to the wedding day without her.

In the months leading up to the wedding, Amie checked in consistently, ensured every detail was organised, and visited our venue to fully understand our vision. On the day itself, she executed everything flawlessly – from the design elements to the coordination and flow of the entire event. She brought our dream to life with such care, professionalism, and heart.

We cannot speak highly enough of ARLAI Event Co. My husband and I are endlessly grateful that she was part of our wedding journey, and we will always be thankful for the support she gave us. Amie deserves this award 1000% percent – good luck Amie!

I recently had the pleasure of working alongside Amie while collaborating on a beautiful wedding in Coimodai. Her communication is fabulous from start to finish, and on the day she is the picture of professionalism — calm, organised, and completely dedicated to making sure everything runs smoothly.
I highly recommend her services to any couple planning their wedding.
