THE ETC. DIFFERENCE
Guiding you through the process.
You and your partner will feel at ease planning your incredible property wedding.
Lauren takes care of all the moving parts for you and brings it all together cohesively. Sourcing the right vendors, scouting the perfect property (if you don’t have one of your own) planning for weather contingencies and presenting you with a comprehensive design guide that feels like we’ve read your mind.
You bring the inspiration, I’ll bring it to life… and some.A day designed to you.
Designing a bespoke day doesn’t necessarily mean every single detail completely custom. It does mean, however, a more personalised and considered approach to your styling to make your budget work smarter without compromising on style. Your wedding day should fit you. Not the other way around.
Lauren has a knack for understanding your vision and not only bringing it to fruition, but beyond what you imagine.Timelines that work for you.
Lauren, your spreadsheet-loving planner, will skilfully document the precious moments you hope to include in your day and craft your timeline to highlight those details whilst respecting the art of each and every vendor involved. Meaning you don’t have to miss out on cocktail hour, you get the chance to enjoy catching up with your guests and your vendor team can comfortably focus on doing what you’ve hired them to do …putting their best foot forward for you.
Not so keen on the spotlight being on you all day? I’ll promise to ease those nerves and make you feel right at home, like one of your guests.Clarity and Confidence.
You’re in the drivers seat of how you want your incredible day to unfold, and together, we create a celebration that feels like you. From the styling, to Run sheets, to floor plans.
Whilst you have full transparency over your day, you don’t have to have your finger on the pulse at every given stage because you have us. Allowing you to enjoy the things you love doing while your Planner takes care of everything else.
Allow me to be your sounding board, catch any blindspots and always have a solution in hand.
ENVISION YOUR WEDDING DAY LIKE THIS…
Amongst all your favourite people. In the same space. At the same time.
Feet are sore, cheeks are hurting, heart is full.
So many moments to smile about, the dance floor electric and waking up the next morning (perhaps a little dusty) but still on absolute cloud nine.

KIND WORDS
MIA & TOM
“Okay YOU NEED A LAUREN IN YOUR LIFE WHEN WEDDING PLANNING. Honestly I was skeptical at the start, only because I am a control freak and was nervous allowing someone else to help, but my gosh - from the months leading in, back and fourth emails and phone calls over the smallest of things, to on the day organisation and coordination. I honestly don't think the day would have ran as smoothly as it did without Lauren and the team. Still to this day I know things needed to be adjusted on the day due to weather and other minor issues and I was not one bit aware and this allowed me to have a stress free wedding night. It's an investment into a service that I BELIEVE is 100% NECESSARY for your day”
JESS & JACK
“Lauren, where do I even begin… From the first contact we had with her right at the beginning of our wedding journey, we knew we were in good hands. Lauren’s communication, professionalism, attention to detail, compassion and kindness to constant changes of mind is beyond what we expected. Lauren truly listened to our visions and dreams for our day and made it happen, no questions asked - nothing was ever too much. Lauren helped two of the most anxious people breeze through an experience that felt incredibly overwhelming for us at times and we are so incredibly grateful for that.
Fast forward to the wedding day and everything was perfect. Lauren and her team had everything in hand and we did not have to worry about one thing on that day enabling us to enjoy and party the night as if we weren’t getting married at home. Thank you so so so much to Lauren and her team.”
GRACE & NATHAN
“Lauren helped shape my ideas into concepts and real-life visuals -something my husband really needed to help see what the day was going to look like!
Etc. significantly understood all the elements of what a private property wedding involved and eased the stress of trying to coordinate all of that myself!
I didn’t need to think about a single thing as I knew it was all planned for, cared for and would be managed by Lauren and the team if required. It allowed me to be truly present on the day.
10/10 recommend getting this service - Particularly if you are doing a private property wedding!”

-
Absolutely!
Upon booking with us, we like to have your concept and general plan as comfortable as possible, and based off your inital guest numbers so we can lock in those items for your date.
If we need to shift the colour palette/ Styling direction we can absolutely revise these details.
And when it’s nearing time for your RSVPs to come in, we of course update quantities and your floor plan to reflect your final guest numbers, up until 1 month prior to your wedding day. -
Never fear, we are the ultimate planners so we account for weather contingencies from the get-go.
We brief marquee suppliers on sizing to accommodate any outdoor elements that need to come indoors if the weather happens to turn. (Which we all know how unpredictable VIC weather ca be!)

My fabulous team of Stylists and Coordinators come in on your wedding day with me and bring all of those plans and concepts to life.
I’m there facilitating all of that with them and jump on the tools, too. I don’t shy away from ironing table cloths, emptying bins, lighting the candles or grabbing a pair of snips and arranging florals (I used to be a fully-fledged florist with a shop and all, did I mention that?)
With almost 13 years under our belt, your day is in perfect hands with myself and our team. -
