When it comes to your wedding day, you need the very best team behind you.

Here is a list of professionals who (in my opinion) can pull off the most beautiful, creative and seamless events.

DIY weddings are awesome, they really are, but they’re almost always followed by the words, “If I could do it again I would hire a wedding coordinator”. The following professionals are ace at planning, styling and running your wedding smoothly from am to pm.
If you’d like to do the planing yourself but hand over the reigns on the day (recommended) some offer on the day coordinating as a stand alone service – perfect!

The work of these women is truly gasp-worthy. The most stunning and memorial blooms have been cut and crafted by their hands.

Your photographer is the person you will be spending the majority of your wedding day with (maybe 12 hrs+). Not only do they need the be someone you feel comfortable with, they need to understand your love story, the tone of your wedding day, and how to capture both created and candid moments. The photographers on this list are all excellent in their craft (absolute artists if you ask me) and just as importantly, brilliant humans who I can guarantee will make your day feel (and look) incredible.
