Our top three wedding planners to watch in 2026

The 2026 wedding season is officially the era of the “unfiltered” celebration.

According to our latest industry insights, the modern couple has moved away from the pursuit of a flawless, cookie-cutter aesthetic. Instead, we are seeing a pivot toward sensory storytelling, intentional abundance, and a deep desire for weddings that feel like a private club or a curated experience. However, it is easier said than done. For many couples we see at Easy Weddings, the initial excitement of an engagement quickly dissolves into the “decision fatigue” of logistics.

If you are currently feeling lost in the weeds of spreadsheets and vendor contracts, you don’t need a checklist. You need a fixer. These three wedding planners have mastered the 2026 landscape and are ready to take the wheel.

Boutique Weddings

There is a specific kind of magic in the South West, but it takes a local expert to harness it without the stress of “DIY” logistics. Denise from Boutique Weddings is the person you call when you want a celebration that feels effortless, romantic, and grounded in the landscape.

As we move into 2026, the “Meadowcore” trend is dominating. This aesthetic relies on organic, natural centrepieces and a sense of “slow living” that can be difficult to pull off in a remote location. Denise specialises in exactly this. She bridges the gap between a relaxed at-home wedding and a high-end editorial event.

Why they are a 2026 essential:

Her background in interior design gives her an edge that standard coordinators lack. She doesn’t just place flowers on a table. She understands how to layer textures and muted palettes to create a cohesive environment. For couples who want a destination wedding in Margaret River but don’t have the time to vet every local supplier, her concierge service is a lifesaver. She handles the legwork of vendor bookings and timeline management, allowing you to actually enjoy the vineyard views you paid for.

The Pink Planner

If your 2026 vision involves “Maximalist Romance” or a “Supper Club” vibe, Alison at The Pink Planner is your strategic partner. The industry report for 2026 highlights a surge in hyper-personalised touches, which are delightful to look at but a nightmare to coordinate.

Alison is a qualified planner and a registered civil celebrant, which means she can literally fix your entire day from the legal paperwork to the final dance floor outfit change. Her “Hot Pink Tips” aren’t just a branding exercise. They are a reflection of a planner who knows that the best weddings are the ones where the couple is actually present, not worried about the wedding party.

Why they are a 2026 essential:

The 2026 trend for “The Deconstructed Wedding” involves flipping the traditional script. Maybe you want a chic cocktail party with roaming food presentations instead of a seated three-course dinner. This requires a planner who is comfortable managing unconventional timelines and high-energy transitions. Alison’s approach is calm but incredibly organised, ensuring that your “festival theme” or “fairytale traditional” day stays on budget and on time.
