knowledge that the styling would be absolutely beautifu, just as we had
envisioned. Thank you again, and, we wish you & First Class Wedding

Love from Julie Paton (Mother of the Bride) - 3rd December 2011
When my now wife approached me regarding hiring a wedding planner I was worried
to say the least. My first thought was the dollar value for this type of
personal service as keeping to some sort of budget was high on my priority
list. I reluctantly went to a meeting however immediately felt comfortable with
Lisa. Lisa was highly professional and had already "done the numbers"
which to me were great. Lisa also explained in great detail the ins and outs of
organising a wedding and I honestly was overwhelmed. At the end of our first
meeting I was eager to sign the dotted line to avoid having a bridezilla on my
hands.
Every step of the way Lisa was a pleasure to deal with and any small issues
which arose were dealt with quickly and professionally. The whole process was
so stress free and the time between planning and the actual day flew by! The
day came and went and was everything myself and wife ever wanted. All of our
guests could not speak more highly of how the venue looked down to the food and
service provided.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lisa in all she has done to make
our wedding perfect, I would highly recommend her services (and have done so
since) to anyone thinking of planning their own wedding.
Thanks, Jarrod Batten 4th November 2011
From start to finish you made the journey as stress free and smooth as any
bride and groom could possibly imagine! In the beginning we didn't set out to
have a wedding planner, we had already looked at venues and thought we had
found the perfect place, until after meeting with the venues and having lengthy
discussions we found most places were really restrictive. We had everything in
our minds of what we wanted and had example pictures, but could not find
somewhere that would cater for everything we wanted within our budget. We
decided we would have our ceremony and reception at my Husband's Aunty and
Uncles place not far from where we lived. It was a great central location and
they had the most beautiful gardens and land that would cater perfectly for a
marquee style reception.
Then came the planning, I had NO idea it would take so much time, effort and
experience to pull it all together. As we both work full time, we found the
only spare time we had was weekends, which just was not enough to plan a
wedding in 11 months. We were recommended to Lisa by my hairdresser, from the
very first meeting I wanted to sign the dotted line... only hurdle was
convincing Jarrod that it would be worth our while. I convinced Jarrod to meet
with Lisa and after the meeting we were all signed up and Lisa was going to
take care of most parts of our wedding from the equipment hire, invitations,
photographer, catering, staff and even my flowers (which were perfect).
We are both so thankful that we met Lisa, she was a great resource for ideas,
and the suppliers that she recommended were top notch. Lisa organized
everything to the finest detail and made the planning part easy and fun. I was
able to fully enjoy the entire process from planning the wedding through to
enjoying every single minute of my actual wedding day without having to worry
about a thing, Throughout the whole planning process Jarrod and I were calm and
stress free, there was not one disagreement and best of all NO TEARS from
stress.
Lisa and her team were professional, friendly, and helpful. I didn't know I
could have so much fun on my own wedding day, it was absolutely perfect!
Thanks, Amber Batten 4th November 2011
Dear
Lisa,
We are extremely happy with the invitations that Lisa made for us. She was
very professional, and nothing was too hard for her. She has great attention to
detail, and has a real flair for making invitations. We would highly recommend
Lisa from First Class Weddings & Events to our family and friends.

Firstly we
wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your staff. Our wedding was
everything we dreamed it would be and we have you and your team to thank for
your massive efforts. You were such a pleasure to work
with and we will be passing on your name / business details to anyone we can. We
would recommend your services to anyone. We have had such lovely feedback from not just our family but all of our guests - the
most talked about part of the night was the food and the service. Both of these
could not be faulted and we received such positive feedback about both. It was
said that everywhere they turned there was fresh food or their glasses were
being topped without having to ask. All your staff were fantastic and so polite
and professional. The bar staff were giving everyone a laugh.
Amber & Jarrod - 4th November 2011
Thank
you so much for doing such a lovely job at the wedding. It all went off without
a hitch with lots of compliments on the décor etc. You did a wonderful job,
thank you very much. I
loved the posy that you made for me, it was amazingly heavy for flowers, but it
just went beautifully with the dress, especially with the touches of pink in
amongst it. Once
more many thanks for a job well done, I hope your day goes off as well and
easily as ours did.

Where to start we just both wanted to say thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. We had the most perfect day without a single worry in the world. Your professionalism, enthusiasm and patience was exactly what was required and you pulled the day off without any dilemmas (well not that I was aware of anyway). The flowers, cake and theming, not to mention the on day coordination, were absolutley beautiful and our guests can't stop talking about what a beautiful wedding it was. The centrepieces (and the room) were so beautiful and romantic ...something out of an enchanted garden. You and your team did an amazing job and would 100% recommend your services. We just can't thank you enough.

"Phuong and I would just like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us with our wedding. Your heart's desire and willingness to do anything and be anyone to make our dreams come true went beyond what is generally expected from any major works project manager, let alone a wedding planner. Only after the wedding did we realise how much time, money and stress your knowledge and experience in the industry have saved us. Without you, we would have had to sort out, by ourselves, the inevitable hiccups during the day - such as a page boy who wet his pants. Instead, you took the whole situation in your strides and we could get on with enjoying our photoshoots and the rest of the day. You and your staffs' professionalism and attention to detail were second to none - during the planning process, and during the day itself. Thank you for being a fantastic help, a comfortable shoulder to cry on, a cool head in emotional situations and, most of all, an extraordinary friend. Even though our wedding is now just a beautiful memory, please keep in touch, we love you and admire you too much to let you go from our lives".

"When I look back on my wedding day, I have only happy memories and I think most of that is due to the hard work that you put into making sure the day was perfect for us. It was wonderful to see my visions turn into reality. Everything was exactly how I had imagined it. My flowers were beautiful, the cake was amazing, the Bonbonniere was very cute, and the invitations and stationery were just perfect. I received so many compliments about how beautiful the wedding was. Thank you so much Lisa.I truly believe that you are an outstanding lady and wedding planner. I really can't thank you enough. In regards to the cake, I could've eaten the whole thing but I just couldn't squeeze anything else into that dress. It was absolutely devine and very well presented. The flowers were everything I had imagined. They were just like the picture we looked at. I can't really express how perfect everything was. Thank you so much!Once again, thank you for everything you have done for me. Best of luck for the future".

"We wanted to take a few moments to express our thanks and appreciation for all your work, effort, and coordination on our wedding day. We are very grateful for your expert orchestration of our special day. We consider ourselves blessed to have had the privilege of working with someone who exceeded all our expectations in many ways through your style, grace and thoughtfulness. Your professionalism, personality traits (cool, calm and collected to mention a few), attention to detail and positive attitude was evident throughout, and we wanted you to know that we and many others noticed it.
You made the day go by so much smoother and everything was stress free for us! The wedding day was perfect with no hitches. You were always available with ideas, suggestions, and provided lots of reassurance on the day. No job on the day was too big or too small, and nothing was overlooked. You showed a very high level of integrity in following through with our every request and were on hand at all times throughout the day.
We particularly appreciated the fact that you were willing to communicate with all service providers in making sure that the agreements between them and ourselves were upheld. We had all the confidence that you had your contacts available, should they have been required on the day. This can be accredited to your years of service and vast experience in this industry.
I know weddings can be challenging sometimes but your thoughtful and sensitive approach was refreshing and appreciated. You have helped create a beautiful memory that we will always hold close to our hearts. We wish you the very best in life, in all that you do, and have no doubt that your success will continue to grow. Looking forward to meeting you again sometime in the future".
Amanda & Colin
"Thank you ever so much for all your help with our wedding!!! I know we experienced only a part of your wedding planning service (yes, I'm a control freak and I know it) but your advice and professional knowledge was priceless. We appreciate all the time you spent meeting with us to help us plan our perfect wedding.
I am most grateful that you were able to spend our Wedding day with us and knowing that you were there made me feel so relaxed that I could truly enjoy the day! It was wonderful not having to worry about anything because we knew you were there to take care of everything!
We were incredibly lucky to have First Class Weddings and Events help with our wedding, and cannot thank you enough! Without you, our wedding day would not have been as amazing as it was!
I could write a 2 page essay on how wonderful your advice was and how understanding you were about the whole Asian side of things and that from the moment you called the florist to get them to deliver the missing buttonhole, I knew the day would be smooth because you would be hand to sort everything out.
The cake was awesome. Greg, especially, was very pleased that the icing wasn't 2 inches thick! I thought it was absolutely beautiful, and quite a few people who have seen the photo said "ooh" when they saw it. We actually think it tastes even better now than it did on the night".
