Your dream wedding, planned to perfection

What we do

How we work

At STAC, we plan weddings that feel like you. Whether it’s a big celebration, an intimate elopement, or something in between, we’re here to make the process simple, enjoyable and beautifully organised.

From full planning and styling to on-the-day coordination, we take care of the details so you can soak up the moments that matter. You won’t find cookie-cutter packages here—just thoughtful support, tailored to your style, budget and vibe.

We start with a chat. Over coffee, a call, or even a wander—we get to know what matters most to you. Then we build your day around it.

Expect friendly check-ins, gentle nudges when needed, and calm problem-solving if things don’t go to plan. (They sometimes don’t—don’t worry, we’ve got it covered.)

Planning a wedding should feel exciting, not overwhelming. We’re here to help you enjoy the lead-up just as much as the day itself.

Our mission.

  • Our top priority will always be you. No matter how big or small your event, we will strive for perfection in consultations, planning and execution. You deserve nothing but the best.

  • As a Southland local, highlighting the amazing talent and beautiful products from our region is very important to us. We are proud to be a small business, supporting other like-minded small businesses in the community.

  • Weddings can be as expensive as they are stressful. And so our mission is to not only reduce the stress but reduce the spend! We will always provide a range of well-priced packages to suit any budget. No couple should miss out on their day.
