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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
