Industry Friends I Wholeheartedly Recommend
Below is a list of Geelong & Melbourne wedding industry suppliers I know and trust.
I have worked in the Melbourne and Geelong wedding industry for 10 years now so I have worked alongside my fair share of suppliers and the good news is, for the most part, they have all been GREAT! It is a hard slog keeping a creative small business alive, it takes a passionate person and overwhelmingly the people that are drawn to being a part of someone’s wedding day are genuinely good people.
The wedding industry is renowned for being a friendly, fun and positive community!
Firstly, I want to preface that this may say Industry Friends (& they are now) but I didn’t know any of them prior to working with them in the wedding industry.
It is through working alongside each of them, seeing the quality of their work, the way they treat their clients and their integrity as people that they have become friends and I confidently recommend them to couples.
I know they will give you a great experience! I would be so excited for you to work alongside any of them, cos you will be in the safest of hands.
This list is long and honestly, it could be longer! There are so many more recommendations I could add, and should add, and will add one day! So if you are looking for something specific please reach out & ask via email!
* Oh and last one, the Otways list of suppliers and locations is in its own seperate blog.*

Like I said, this is the tip of the iceberg & supporting couples to have a great experience, as well as showcasing small businesses I love is my jam so please, please, please reach out if you want any ideas, tips or tricks to help make your day the best it can be.
I hope you have finished reading this and have been left excited and inspired. Cos that is how you should feel every step of the way on your planning journey! There will likely be moments of overwhelm at the volume to pull together along the way, but if you’re not feeling excited most of the time. You are doing it wrong!
Its a joy not chore, as one of my couples did they chose to make everything a date activity and let it all be the most fun it can be!
And I promise when we meet for a planning meeting I will remind you that YES it is worth all the effort and having everyone there with you will absolutely be one of the best days of your life!
