Hey Lovers
The clearest sign a wedding coordinator has done their job is that you never found out what went wrong. Somebody rerouted the ceremony music, smoothed over a seating chart and quietly handled the one uncle, and you spent the afternoon entirely unaware of any of it. That’s the work Kate does at Hey Lovers.
On-the-day wedding coordination and planning in Melbourne
The service is built to be taken in whatever dose you need. Full planning from the moment you’re engaged, partial planning if you’ve started and stalled, on-the-day coordination to hold the whole thing together, coaching and support if you’d rather run it yourself with an expert on call, or a single task knocked off your list — vendor research, chasing late RSVPs, set-up and pack-down. You choose the level of involvement rather than buying a package that doesn’t quite fit.
Kate is unashamedly organised and takes the time to understand what you’re genuinely after before connecting you with suppliers who suit it. Budgeting advice is part of the offer too, which is the unglamorous piece that tends to save couples the most. Her couples describe the same thing afterwards, almost without exception: that she solved problems before they knew problems existed.
Hey Lovers works across Greater Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, the Yarra Valley and regional Victoria, and travels for destination weddings, handling local vendor logistics remotely so you can simply arrive and celebrate. They support love between all humans, and keep actively building their knowledge and connections to do that properly.
“Having Kate onboard in the lead-up to our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From 10 weeks out, she kept us on track, guided us through the logistic process, and provided invaluable support every step of the way.
Kate was professional, detail-oriented, observant, calm, and incredibly kind throughout. Her communication was always clear, concise, and thoughtful, which gave us a lot more confidence and peace of mind during the final stages of the planning process.
We ran into a logistical hiccup just before the reception began, and Kate immediately stepped in and took charge. Despite having limited resources on hand, she quickly liaised with the venue and resolved the issue seamlessly before it could become a bigger problem.
Kate, you were truly our fairy godmother, and we are so grateful to have had you by our side to coordinate such a special day.
For anyone considering having Kate onboard — do it. You absolutely will not regret it.”
