What Falls Under Party Services

Most Illawarra celebrations are pieced together from a handful of separate bookings: someone to feed the room, someone to lead the ceremony or the toasts, someone behind the camera and someone to dress the tables. The suppliers gathered here cover those jobs, and none of them is tied to one town – they travel to every corner of the area, from the northern beaches suburbs around Thirroul and Bulli through the city centre and Dapto to Shellharbour, Lake Illawarra, Kiama and Gerringong.

Weddings make up much of the work, but not all of it. Dine In and Culinarius both cater Christmas parties and office functions, Poppy Peterson Photography covers birthdays, christenings and corporate events by the hour, and Owl and Pussycat Events sells ready-to-order party styling for showers and milestone birthdays alongside its wedding florals.

A quick way to sort the suppliers by the job they do:

  • Food and drink: M2 Kitchen brings a mobile kitchen and bar to venues without one, 2 Smoking Barrels parks a barbecue food truck, Dine In starts From $28 per person and Culinarius From $58 per person.
  • Ceremonies: Gemma Brooks Civil Celebrant, Sharon Is My Celebrant and Let's Say I Do Celebrant each write personalised weddings, with packages starting between $550 and $590.
  • Photos and film: Michael Boyle Photography, Gavin Cato Photography and Cole Studios shoot weddings, while Dragonfly Productions films them documentary-style.
  • Flowers and styling: Pepe's Garden, Mrs Gibbons Flowers and Shique Floral Design work with fresh stems, Lilies and Lace Weddings hand-makes artificial bouquets, and ES Wedding & Event Hire supplies handmade tables and arbours.

Lock in the caterer and the celebrant first, since they shape the date and the venue, then fill in flowers and photography around them. For menus and service styles in more depth, see Wollongong caterers, or start from the wedding reception page.

Worth asking before you book

  • Does the caterer need a kitchen on site, or does it bring its own?
  • Will the photographer also film, or do you need a separate videographer?
  • Are the flowers fresh or silk, and are they yours to keep or on hire?
  • Are delivery, set-up and pack-down part of the quote?
  • Which of the five Wollongong regions does the supplier travel to for your date?

Frequently Asked Questions About Party Services

Which Wollongong party suppliers can cater at a venue with no kitchen?

M2 Kitchen brings a refrigerated truck plus a mobile kitchen and bar, so it can serve canapés, banquets or plated dinners at halls, farms and private properties. 2 Smoking Barrels runs a self-contained barbecue food truck with its own crew.

Can I book wedding photos and video from one Illawarra supplier?

Yes. Cole Studios covers wedding photography and cinematic film from one in-house team, with licensed drone pilots. Gavin Cato Photography also offers an optional ceremony-and-speeches video alongside its photo packages.

Is there a Wollongong celebrant who can MC the reception as well?

Let's Say I Do Celebrant, run by Alisha Perkins, writes the ceremony and can also MC the wedding reception, which saves finding a second person for the microphone.

Can wedding flowers be hired rather than bought?

Lilies and Lace Weddings hand-makes artificial bouquets you can hire or keep, and hires floral arches and table garlands. Owl and Pussycat Events works in silk florals, with bouquets yours to keep.

Which of these services suit a work Christmas party?

Dine In and Culinarius both cater Christmas parties, from grazing boards and canapés to roasts and seafood. Pepe's Garden and Shique Floral Design take corporate flower orders for the tables.

Do these party suppliers travel to Kiama and Shellharbour?

Yes. Every supplier on this page lists all five areas – Northern Wollongong, Wollongong City & Surrounds, Southern Wollongong & Dapto, Shellharbour & Lake Illawarra, and Kiama & Gerringong – as places it works.
