The 8 Best Wedding Planners in Adelaide

Middleton Event’s expertise is no question given how they’ve received dozens of awards from the Bridal Industry awards, Meeting Industry Awards, and Meetings and Events Australia Awards. 

They’re a family-run company, and they’re great at coordinating and communicating with clients. They make sure to establish a constant contact person who will be responsive and attentive to you. 

One of their strengths is the abundance of wedding entertainment services they provide. They offer DJs, hosts, photo booths, wedding photographers, and more, all under their company. 

They offer many wedding packages too, and because they themselves provide most of its inclusions, their rates are in-ratio with what they offer. 

John Middleton, their head consultant, is very reliable when it comes to deadlines, contract negotiations, and communication with suppliers. We also appreciate his transparency regarding the factors that affect the cost of the event.

They’ve proven themselves to be an ideal choice for unplanned circumstances, given how many successful weddings they’ve held while following COVID restrictions.

If there’s anything we didn’t like about them, one is that they have limited schedules available because of the high demand for their service.

Aside from this, we found their pre-set decorations a bit limited in design. If you want a highly customized wedding, they may not be the choice for you. 

Emma Kate’s brand is simple, intimate, and chic. This aesthetic lends itself well to many weddings, which is why they’re an easy choice for many. 

They provide many inclusions for your wedding, and we particularly like the floral arrangements they provide. Their color palette and designs are among the most unique we’ve seen. 

Related to this, they’re great at collaborating with clients about wedding styling. Their team is creative and open to new ideas. 

One of their strengths is in planning intimate backyard weddings, and they’ve handled dozens of these. They’re hassle-free with communication, and they already have pre-planned designs for tables, chairs, and decorations.

They’re also quick to respond to inquiries made via phone or email. They follow deadlines well and do not respond later than one to two days during the planning phase.

We’re just a bit iffy about their rates, as they’re a bit pricey considering the simplicity of the weddings they’ve coordinated.

Aside from this, we found them more suited for weddings with smaller venues and guest lists. This is because most of the clients they offer chose this setup.

Found Collective has one of the best wedding styling services we’ve seen. They’ve got a great eye for mixing different design inspirations while keeping the design thematically united for a wedding. 

From their portfolio, you can easily see the great variety of colors, moods, and atmospheres their styling has. In addition, they’re praised by many clients for how well they collaborate with customers. 

Their professionalism is further seen in their uncomplicated process for accepting clients. You simply need to fill up an event quote form, and they can handle the entire event once you’ve approved the information package and pricing they propose. 

Their team is polished and highly organized during weddings. They have great attention to detail, and they’re always courteous to clients. 

Plus, they provide a timelessly designed wedding inventory. Their arbors, plinths, seatings, rugs, and more are elegant and compatible with most venues. 

Given all of this, it’s just a bit disappointing that their rates are some of the highest we’ve seen. 

Aside from this, their wedding packages lack entertainment. This may not be the best choice for couples who want a lively wedding.

Simple Weddings offers one of the most affordable rates we’ve seen. In addition, they accept weddings planned only one month ahead.

They have many preferred venues all over Adelaide which they can quickly book for you. This makes them a very convenient choice. 

In addition, they’re experienced in planning weddings for couples who will be applying for a Partner Visa. This is why they’ve handled many weddings of immigrants. 

You’ll always get a fast response from the team, which is always a plus. They’re quick to respond through their website, phone, or email.

Their team is praised by many clients for being able to make weddings held in unconventional venues—such as an office—intimate and personal. This is a great sign of their experience and professionalism. 

We’re just a bit iffy about the complaints made about their refunding process. According to some clients, they had to wait a long time before their requests were processed.

Aside from this, they’re not the choice for large-scale weddings, as most of the ceremonies they’ve handled so far are more intimate and small.

Alice Mary Event’s strength lies in the experience of their eponymous owner, who has been in the industry since 2010. 

She has a background in finance and management, and this reflects well in how coordinated she is with planning weddings down to the last detail. 

Her packages have a lot of inclusions, like entertainment, photography, medical kits, and more. In addition, they’re also tiered well to match the budgets of different clients. 

In terms of communications, we didn’t encounter any issues with them. They’re responsive and proactive in making sure that clients’ needs are addressed.

Their portfolio has diverse wedding venues and setups too. It’s a great sign of their flexibility in meeting the preferences of different clients. 

In fact, they’ve coordinated weddings that were held in farms, wineries, and places requiring an hour of travel.

They’ve also worked with clients coming from different cultures. They’re respectful of traditions and are great with making sure that specific notes by clients are followed. 

However, a downside with them is that they have pricey rates. 

Aside from this, they have very limited schedules available given the high demand for their services. You may have to book your wedding at least six months or more in advance.

Every Event Australia is an online shop and platform where clients can browse and avail of various products and services ideal for all types of events whilst sourcing directly from a diverse selection of event vendors.

We like that both onsite and physical services are made much more convenient and steadfast delivery wherein vendors can confirm the orders within 48 hours at most along with versatile and easy messaging features that can enable clients to contact vendors directly for inquiries.

Furthermore, not only are their selections of vendors adequately checked and approved, but also their platform is able to cater to various industry needs to ensure that all needs are well-covered all in one platform.

While their website shows various catalogs of both venues and products for various events and services, when it comes to pricing, clients may need to inquire further to the vendors for more accurate information on this.

Overall, with their versatile and diverse range of products, services, and event packages, accommodating and communicative personnel, highly collaborative customer services, and user-friendly website, we recommend that clients check them out.

What we like about Chelsea is her organizational skills. She makes and wedding day effortless and perfect.

Her ability to manage the myriad details contributes to a seamless execution, allowing couples to relax and enjoy their special day.

Chelsea prides herself on creating unique services and packages for each client, emphasizing a personalized approach. This is something we find evident in her work.

This ensures that each wedding is treated as distinct, avoiding a one-size-fits-all mentality. The flexibility to adapt to individual preferences contributes to a memorable and bespoke experience.

We also admire her effective coordination with vendors. From providing a selection of options and quotes to guiding various aspects on the wedding day, her organized approach is appreciated not only by couples but also by fellow vendors who value her professionalism.

With her creativity, excellent execution and overall professionalism, we highly recommend!
