Anu & Aswin
THE BRIEF
Couple only had a limited budget so needed tips on how to save money
Of different faiths but was important to them to get married in a church – somewhere in inner city and ideally not to far from chosen venue to eliminate travel
THE PROBLEM
Different faiths need a uniting church – and some options were booked or under construction at the time
Budget would exceed minimums on a weekend meaning nothing left for florals. Dress etc
THE SOLUTION
Compromising on no videographer,
Wedding held on a Thursday
Found a uniting church close by venue
Venue already supplied simple centrepieces saving on floral cost
We were able to recommend a photographer building portfolio for them to save

The Feedback
We had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Amie for A&A’s wedding on 19 February 2026, and we cannot speak highly enough of her.
As Angels Floral Event, we truly appreciate working with planners who are organised, calm, and collaborative — and Amie was all that and more. She was simply amazing from start to finish. Patient, incredibly helpful, and always solution-focused, nothing was ever too difficult for her. No matter the situation, she handled everything with grace and professionalism.
Her attention to detail is one of her most exceptional qualities. Every element was thoughtfully considered, ensuring the entire day flowed seamlessly. We were especially grateful for her coordination and hands-on support — even assisting with moving small items from the church to the venue. That level of dedication speaks volumes about her commitment to her couples and vendor team.
Amie is truly a must-have wedding planner. Her exceptional customer service, calm presence, and genuine care make all the difference on such an important day.
We look forward to working with her again in the future!
Angels Floral Event
We worked with ARLAI Event Co for almost 8 months while planning our wedding, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without her. We had very minimal knowledge on how a wedding ceremony and reception should be planned, and Amie guided us through every step of the process with patience and clarity.
While the planning support was invaluable, the real highlight of Amie’s service was the lead-up to the wedding day and her on-the-day coordination. She was completely on top of everything and made sure the day flowed smoothly, and was as enjoyable and stress-free as possible for us.
Amie truly went above and beyond when my partner received a call from the police about our car being towed due to a parking mistake. She stepped in, spoke to them, explained it was our wedding day, and managed to get us a pass while arranging for someone to sort out the car. It was exactly the kind of calm, practical support we needed on the day.
We couldn’t be happier with Amie and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional support.
