want TO BE as happy aS these good humans?
Well, strap yourself in because The Day Makers are here to help as much as we can (in our waking hours, of course cos sleep is important to us 😴)
the things we do for love (and great events)
We’d be here for a while if we wrote every single little detail on this page, so please use this info as a guide only and be sure to get in touch for a tailored quote.
But you should also know…
OUR SERVICES ARE ‘ALL INCLUSIVE’ - After we’ve had a good chat about your day, to see if we vibe and to work out how we can help, we’ll send you a tailored quote which will include absolutely everything. In other words, you’ll never receive any ‘surprise invoices’ from us along the way (cos that’s not our jam).
THE BOOKING FEE IS ALL WE NEED - All you need to do to secure us for your date, is to kindly pay the booking fee. Then, we’re exclusively all yours for your date, and the remaining amount can be paid when and however you like, up to 30 days before your date (see next point for another option).
PAYMENT PLANS ARE EASY - We are well aware that you have ‘other bills to pay’ so we want to try and make our service as easy and accessible as possible for our couples. Which is why we can easily divide the remaining payment amount into monthly instalments OR tie it into your overall budget (just be sure to let us know how we can help!)

what you might need a hand with
The ‘wedding planning beast’ is a big one to tackle, but unfortiunately, creating THE BEST experience can’t just happen. It requires the consideration of things such as: vendor priorities and selection, the budget, the guest list, seating allocation, floor plans, styling and design, and the logistics. And then on the day itself, bringing all of that together and making sure that the entire day runs flawlessly (so that you and your guests can enjoy more and stress less). Yes, there is A LOT to consider, but we are here for it and we bloody love it!! 🥳
insert: the day makers
We get a real kick out of helping our couples plan and consider absolutely everything, and empowering them to design a day that they will truly love! And ultimately, we want wedding planning to feel less like ‘a second full time job that nobody got time for’ and more like ‘wow, that was easy!’
Which is why we have 3 handy services to cover everything from ‘your first planning thoughts’ (at around 18 months from the day) to ‘the final see ya later’ (on the day itself). And although our services have been designed to work perfectly together (and cover every single tiny detail of your day) how much we help is totally up to you!
Simply explore the services below and consider ‘what you might need help with’…
Have you done this and got a little overwhelmed ⬇
Well, feel free to wish Google all the best, as ‘The Day Makers Directory’ is a place where you can assemble your Day Team from a bunch of vendors who are not only good at what they do but also great humans! In fact, every Day Maker has been tried and tested by us, and they are someone who we stand by and highly recommend!
And in terms of the directory experience, think less ‘directory’ and more ‘online shopping’. First you’ll be able to consider your ‘vendor priorities’ and then ‘go shopping’ by filtering the vendors by ‘type’ and ‘budget’ before adding them to cart to get an estimate of your overall wedding spend.
And once you’re happy with your Day Team, simply ‘check out’ and we’ll get to work checking and confirming all availability, and locking them in (Eddie). 🥳

We’ll then check and confirm their availability and let you know who has made your Day Team!
