How to Choose an Event Planner

Event planners in Brisbane cover two quite different jobs. Wedding planners shape the day and coordinate the suppliers so the couple can relax, while corporate event managers take conferences, launches and community celebrations from concept to pack-down.

Wedding packages that bundle the ceremony, set-up and supplier bookings start at $1,500.

Choosing how much help you need:

Full planning, from budget and venue search through to every supplier booking
Partial planning, where the big items are booked and you want help with the rest
Coordination on the day, with someone running the timeline and dealing with suppliers
Styling as part of the package, which saves hiring a separate stylist
Supplier wrangling only, for couples who want someone else to chase quotes and confirmations
Corporate production: run sheets, staging, guest lists and registration for larger events

Planners usually have go-to suppliers, which can save time when booking caterers, event florists and AV hire. For work events specifically, see corporate event planners.

Brisbane timing to plan around

Spring and early summer are the busiest wedding months, so approach planners early for those dates
Christmas functions compete with weddings for venues and staff late in the year
Outdoor events in summer need a wet-weather plan from the first meeting

Event Planning: What People Ask

What does a wedding planner cost in Brisbane?

Packages that combine the ceremony, set-up and supplier coordination start at $1,500. Full planning for a large wedding costs more.

Is coordination on the day enough for a Brisbane wedding?

If you have booked everything yourselves, a coordinator for the final weeks and the day can keep the timeline and suppliers on track.

Can a Brisbane event planner run a conference or product launch?

Yes. Corporate event managers handle conferences, launches and community celebrations from the first idea through to pack-down.

Do Brisbane planners take on events in Ipswich & Springfield or Logan?

Some do. All of them cover the inner areas, the Northside and the Southside, while fewer list Ipswich & Springfield, Logan, Redlands and Moreton Bay.

Should we hire a planner if the venue has its own coordinator?

A venue coordinator looks after the venue's side of things. A planner works for you, across every supplier and the whole timeline.
