How does your wedding experience begin?
Let’s hop on a call and get to know a bit about each other. It’s important for Poonam to truly understands your needs and requirements for your wedding and at the end of the day, we both need to feel comfortable working with each other.
From here, we’ll work on a detailed proposal tailored for you and your partner which will outline the full terms and structure. Once you’re happy to move forward with Poonam, we make it a point to meet and learn more about your dream wedding vision. From the look and feel to location and financials. We must build that trust very early on in the wedding planning journey.
To learn more about the different services we offer, please kindly keep reading below.
Full Planning
If you are truly feeling overwhelmed or time poor, you may need guidance with all the finer details of your wedding, then you need to consider hiring a professional to handle your wedding planning.
The Process
Following the initial consultation, we’ll send across the proposal. Once we get you all signed up, we’ll meet and work on building a vision for your wedding that reflects the both of you.
We’ll spend some time learning more about each other and tailor the events to suit your tastes. Here’s where we also make it a point to outline every single task, from choosing your wedding venue to booking in your dream wedding vendors to finalizing the accommodation for your wedding night.
In the months leading up to your wedding especially, we will handle all the details that you don’t want to think about such as,
- Venue site visits
- Drawing up floor plans
- Coming up with a runsheet
- Locking in appointments with your vendors
- Ensuring that your vendors understand the scope of their work
- Styling
- Scheduling menu tastings
- Assistance with wedding shopping, including your outfits and favours
- On the day management
We understand there’s a lot going on for you, between work, life, and wedding planning, so another important detail we manage is your time and communication.
Time is precious, so Poonam wants to ensure that she’s flexible and whether that’s over email, phone or in person, we’re there for you. Majority of your wedding planning tasks are completed during business hours, but meetings can be scheduled in after hours and some weekends.
Vendor Selection
In terms of working with creatives, we only match you with the best of the best in this industry and those of course who love what they do!
Poonam has spent years building lost-lasting relationships with creatives based in Australia and the world. When you start working with her, you’ll understand that she takes this aspect of your wedding planning incredibly seriously. Therefore, she’ll be a part of every meeting.
These meetings are a golden opportunity for us to capture all the high-level details of your wedding.
Of course, if there’s somebody we are yet to work with, then that’s totally fine. Happy to get to know them, ensuring that they’re a good fit for you and us and are fully committed to ensuring you have the perfect wedding celebration.
Financials
You may notice that we don’t specifically outline numbers here because your wedding is unique to you as a couple. What one bride or groom likes is very different to another.
We completely understand though. Your wedding is an investment, which is why we will sit down with you early in the wedding journey to determine what is important to you.
Important for all couples to understand that pricing is all dependent on the location, venue, guest numbers, food and beverage style and overall design.
Styling
You’ve booked your venue and your vendors and have that mood board ready! Congratulations! Now it’s time to build the vision and execute all the styling elements for your wedding.
The initial style consult begins with a call to understand you and your style personality. It’s time for us to see those Pinterest and Instagram images, so that we can best fulfil the requirements of your dream wedding vision. We’ll then walk you through our design process and how we work with a team of creatives to build the vision.
Upon booking, we will begin by putting the concept together with our creative partners. When you’re happy to move forward, we’ll create a look that best fits your vision and budget.
The next step is to lock in all the design elements. We will consult your venues and the vendors involved and provide regular monthly progress updates.
On the day itself, we look after the styling aspect only and ensure this is smooth and efficient.
Don’t want full styling services from us? No stress. We do also offer “petite styling” services such as creating a design brief or on the day table styling.
Wedding Coordination
We get it. Sometimes you just need a professional to handle all the details on the day of your wedding. That’s where our wedding coordination services help you and your families simply relax and allow us to handle all the logistics.
Day Of Management
Also known as on-the-day management, this service is designed for people who want to be fully present on their big day without having to worry about whether your vendors know what they’re doing, whether the wedding favours have been placed on each place setting and well you get the idea. You might just need a little extra help in the lead up to your big day as well as on the day itself.
Let us take all the stress away in those final months as we check in with your venue and every vendor you have booked in.
The Process
Unlike full wedding planning, we’ll only step in around 2-3 months prior to your wedding date. By this time, you should have already booked in your venue and wedding vendors.
The months leading up to your big day are critical, so this is when we will,
- Book in a consultation to figure out how everything is coming along
- Provide any last minute referrals (if needed)
- Arrange a venue site visit
- Communicate with all venue coordinator and wedding vendors
- Finalise any payments with venues and vendors
- Manage your timeline
- Ensure that your vendors understand the scope of their work on the day of your wedding
- Working with your styling team to ensure set up is completed to your liking
- Manage Overall logistics management before and leading up to the big day
Our on the day coordination service is quite extensive as we want to ensure on the day itself, the transitions are smooth and timely.
We give you the confidence that your wedding day will be absolutely flawless and be smooth sailing.
Consultations

Our consultations are tailored to the couple who want to plan and coordinate every aspect of their wedding but just require some guidance.
You may be a bride or groom or someone who requires a little help and direction with setting a budget, how to create a vision, or simply want to know how select the right vendors for your wedding.
Have no fear. In these three sessions, we’ll learn more about your personality and of course, wedding style.
Poonam was an amazing help to us, we came across The Maharani Diaries early in my wedding planning but wasn’t totally sure what we were after. When COVID derailed our plans we were ready to throw in the towel. It was such a tough time for our families. I reached out to Poonam and she helped us get our planning going again. She guided us (virtually held our hands) through the entire process. Poonam has a great deal of experience, and this shows through her work and professionalism. On the day, everything just went so smoothly, we literally did not have to worry about anything. She was at the venue at the crack of dawn she had picked up our garlands and worked closely with the venue and decorating team to have the venue ready. Every vendor reached out to say they really enjoyed working with Poonam and her team. We can’t thank her enough for helping us have the best day of our lives, and we highly recommend her services!!

Poonam was an absolute dream to work with! Planning three weddings in the midst of a pandemic, with both halves of the couple working busy full-time jobs is no mean feat, but Poonam pulled it off with both flair and professionalism. Poonam was always happy to lend an ear and offer advice on everything from outfits to decor to logistics. She not only coordinated our five events exceptionally but styled them beautifully. She truly understood our vision and made it into a reality, and we could not be happier with how each event looked. She was invaluable and an integral part of ensuring our whole week and the lead up went smoothly. She was detail-oriented, ensured nothing was forgotten and flexible when the weather necessitated a last-minute venue change. Throughout all the events her team went above and beyond whenever it was required and ensured any would-be disaster was averted. We are so lucky that we had Poonam by our side during the most memorable week of our lives, we couldn’t have done it without you!
