Look no further than Hunter Events to organise or plan your Wedding Day! These guys are the dream team when it comes to making plans easy. I am a wedding photographer and have worked alongside Hunter Events for a while now and they are so easy to work with. From their high grade customer service through to them co-ordinating your whole wedding day, lets just say I wish I heard of Hunter Events when my wife and I got married!! Ask for Louise - She is the nicest lady you'll ever meet! :) "Mr Hendrix Photography"

Hunter Events well and truly saved our day... They planned our DIY wedding, in two locations (due to a completely different wet weather location), TWICE (once for 2020 and the pretty much all over again for our rescheduled date in 2021)!!!!! Not counting the multiple iterations of reception location for our Plan A... especially the one that was only 4 days before the wedding!! We are SO glad we hired these guys. While I like planning it took A LOT of pressure off the process and made it much more enjoyable. We were able to have exactly what we wanted and I had as much control as I wanted. And these

We first contacted the team at Hunter Events to gain some support for on-the-day coordination and last-minute planning. We believed we had ironed out all the details prior to our meeting.. boy we were wrong! The girls were there through every step of the process leading up to the big day, and more often than not were keeping us on track to finalise all details. Our big day itself was full of challenges. We were dealing with torrential rain and the worst floods NSW has seen in a decade. I (the bride) was 45 minutes late to the ceremony, I broke 2 pair of heels before the reception had even started

Hunter Events NSW are the best in the business of wedding planning & styling. Louise & her team have strong supplier connections in the region, and can turn your wedding dream into a reality. Their attention to detail is meticulous, and they listen to your brief and cater towards your budget. They are 100% transparent, and there are no hidden surprises.
Louise and team treat you like family, and they really do go above and beyond especially on the day. Their styling was on pointe and the attention to detail was out of this world. The number one thing that impressed us was Louise's charisma,

Louise was amazing from the moment I first made contact with her. I absolutely recommend hiring a wedding planner if you are considering it, and 100% can recommend Louise and the team. She was organised and easy to communicate with in the lead up to our big day, and was absolutely awesome on the day of the wedding. Her and Cassie were on the ball from the moment they arrived, helping set up and get all the finishing touches together, and helped the evening run smoothly. Louise and Cassie, a huge huge thanks from Mr and Mrs Small, you were both brilliant
