Hand us the list.

Weddings and family celebrations, planned and run from Stirling: the look, the place, the suppliers, the seating and the day, in halls, homes, woolsheds and gardens across the Hills and Adelaide.

Every day we plan starts with notes like these. Point at one and it’s ours, or sweep across the lot.Every day we plan starts with notes like these. Tap one and it’s ours, or run a finger across them.

14 notes on your list.

On the table, fourteen handwritten notes, from “how many chairs” to “who cleans up after”.

Down at the white linen runner of a garden ceremony aisle in the Adelaide Hills, white and cornflower petals strewn across it and a few still falling, the chairs soft on either side and an arbour of gum leaves and cornflowers far off.

We’ll know where every petal lands.

For a ceremony outdoors, we plan the chairs, the runner, the arbour, the rain plan and who throws the petals.

What we look after

We’re a small team in Stirling. We plan weddings and the family celebrations around them (an engagement, an anniversary lunch, a parent’s big birthday) in halls, homes, woolsheds and gardens across the Hills and Adelaide.

Dry and family-friendly, whenever you want it to be.

The look

Colour, flowers, linen, the paper for the day, the chairs: one mood, from the invitation to the last jar of cornflowers.

The place

A hall, a home, a woolshed or a garden, each with its rain plan written before anything is booked.

The people

Florist, caterer, hire, photographer, musicians: found, booked and briefed from one run sheet.

The day

Run by us to the run sheet: suppliers in on time, dietary plates to the right seats, speeches on cue.

Down the aisle with us

  1. It starts with a cup of tea in Stirling.

    Or at your kitchen table. You tell us who’s coming, what the day should feel like and what it mustn’t be. We come back with a first plan and a guide to the budget, and you leave with nothing to do yet.

  2. Then we go and stand in the places.

    Halls, homes, woolsheds, gardens. Every outdoor ceremony gets a rain plan in writing before anything is booked, and we time the drive from ceremony to lunch on a Saturday, not a Tuesday.

  3. We book the people and brief them.

    Florist, caterer, hire, music, photographs. Everyone works from one run sheet, and it’s the same one you have.

  4. The week before, we check it twice.

    Arrival times confirmed, dietary plates matched to seats, the site walked the day before, the ribbons tied that morning.

    Hands tying a cornflower-blue ribbon onto the back of a white garden chair.

  5. On the day, you don’t carry a phone.

    One of us at the arbour, one in the kitchen, one at the gate. You walk the aisle.

Halls, homes, woolsheds and gardens

Round tables of eight in white linen inside an old Hills woolshed, jars of cornflowers on each, the far door open to dry paddocks.
A woolshed in the Hills, set in rounds of eight from the seating plan.

Halls. Kitchen, power, heating, the hire company’s way in, and when the key comes back. We seat a hall in rounds so there’s still room for the grandparents to get about.

Homes. A lunch for forty on the lawn or the whole family in the shed: we measure the space, plan where the cars go, and have a word with the neighbours a fortnight before.

Woolsheds. Power, toilets, lighting and parking, the floor swept and checked for splinters, and a plan for the weather either side of the doors.

Between two places. Ceremony in one, lunch in another? We time the drive, sign the turns and send a car back for anyone who needs one.

We’ll know who sits where.

Tell us who’s coming in groups and what matters, and the tables settle themselves. Rename a group, change its numbers, or choose two to keep together or apart.

The long lunch

White linen from above, a plate, a napkin tied with blue ribbon and a few petals at its edge.

What’s cooked

Slow-cooked lamb shoulder with pomegranate; roast chicken with lemon and za’atar; pearl couscous with soft herbs; green beans and roasted almonds; beetroot and labneh; orange and almond cake; the first stone fruit.

What we ask about

Halal, vegetarian, vegan, allergies, the grandparent who eats early: each plate marked to its seat on the seating plan.

What’s poured

Pots of tea, juice, cordial, sparkling water, lemonade made that morning.

A dry day is easy to plan.

The in-between

Somebody has to know where the extension leads are.

We bump in the day before: chairs, arbour, linen, the lot. Everyone works from the same run sheet, so the florist knows when the hall opens and the caterer knows when the speeches end. One of us holds the rings, and another holds the umbrellas. Afterwards we pack down, sweep the floor and hand the key back the way we found it.

The arbour at the end of the aisle, wrapped in gum leaves, white roses and cornflowers.

At the arbour

Tell us a little about the day and we’ll come back to you with a time for that first cup of tea.
