FAQ

Yes we do! We would really like to know all about what your plans and vision for your event prior to quoting, to ensure we can  provide you with an accurate proposal for our services and of course to see if we are the right fit for you! These can be done via Skype, Zoom ,Facetime or phone. Video camera optional! 

Yes! When in fact most people think this is something they can conquer themselves or hand over to a family member or friend, it can be hard work at times, especially on hot sunny days. However it pays to have someone doing the run around - setting up your placecards, moving your ceremony furniture to the cocktail area of your reception area and lighting those candles for you... plus so much more! We can be that person for you!

Your best friend may be a photography whizz, or your fiances Aunty may be a florist and you want to secure her services for the big day...and that's totally fine.  We are open to this, but with all your other suppliers we have the close relationships and networks with local providers so know their products and services. We will help you carefully select your vendors which will not only be on board with your vision and style for the day, but also work within your budget also. 

We don't provide stryling services. However in order to support the planning phase, its preferable to establish a look and feel for the day. We include the creation of a mood board which is an important tool, to communicate to your potential vendors so they get a good understanding of the vibe/theme that you would like to have on your wedding day. All the decoration elements for the day- we handover to a stylist. Essentially your stylist will create the overall look and feel for the day, but your planner or coordinator (that's me!) will manage the paperwork, budgets and logistical elements for you. They are two quite different roles!

In the unfortunate circumstance that you may have to postpone or cancel your wedding due to state imposed Public Health Orders, we will most certainly work with you to postpone or reschdule your date. This may include notifying and assisting with rescheduling your vendors where applicable. It hasn't been an easy period to navigate, but rest assuared we are here to help in whatever you decide and ensure that your planning journey be as easy and stress free as possible!

Yes in fact we encourage that! Whilst we still require an upfront deposit to secure your booking, you can certainly pay deposits right up to the day, we arrange a payment plan, no problems!  We will issue you an invoice and payment plan schedule if you chose to do this.

Sally was AMAZING! We booked Sal as our on-the-day wedding coordinator, but she was so helpful and responsive the whole way through. The real magic happened about 2 weeks out, when she breezed in and took a huge amount of stress off us - you don't realise when you start planning, but no matter how organised you are, the last few weeks before the wedding are manic! We couldn't be happier with the outstanding service provided by Sally from Upon a Star Special Events and it's been awesome having someone who cares even more about our wedding than we do. Thanks again Sal! Stace + Brett 10.12.22

I hired Sally for on day coordination for our wedding, Sally's services was the best money I spent on our entire wedding. As our venue didn't help with any of the set-up of our decor, I knew I needed to hire someone who shared my vision and who I could trust. Sally was so organised and prepared, she coordinated all of our vendors prior and bump in on the day. She went above and beyond in her service and was very easy to work with. Highly Recommend Sally! she will ensure your event runs smoothly!

Someone who I care about, but wasn't invited to the wedding, has asked to come and watch the ceremony

Is this weird? I feel strange about it!

Upon A Star Events

I think this would be  a lovely gesture - provided that your ceremony (especially indoors in these times) isn't at capacity. They would probably feel quite honoured to be able to share in the love and joy that will be your ceremony as long as they know the invitation doesn't extend to the reeption, for whatever reason that may be. Don't feel pressured at all though, do what you think is right.
