Sunshine Coast Wedding Coordination Packages
Sit back, relax and watch your day unfold. Once you've planned your wedding, trust us to coordinate your day! The Sunshine Coast offers a beautiful mix of beach, hinterland and private property weddings. The Wedding Project provides professional wedding day coordination to ensure your carefully planned celebration unfolds effortlessly.
We offer three flexible support options for Sunshine Coast couples:
Wedding & Event Setup – Perfect for couples who have planned and sourced their own décor but need a professional team to set up their ceremony and/or reception before guests arrive. Our team arrives prior to your event to execute your setup exactly as planned, ensuring every detail is in place and ready for your day.
Wedding Day Assistant – Ideal for couples who already have their coordinator and setup team in place but want a dedicated support person focused entirely on them and their bridal party. This service assists with personal tasks on the day such as bridal party support, personal errands, refreshments, music assistance and other non-logistical wedding-day needs.
On-the-Day Wedding Coordinator (One Month Out) – Our most comprehensive package for couples who want a dedicated Wedding Coordinator to step in from one month before the wedding. We finalise your planning, refine your runsheet, coordinate suppliers, confirm logistics and manage the entire wedding day from start to finish so everything runs seamlessly.
These services are designed for couples who have planned their own wedding and want a reliable, organised and professional team to ensure everything comes together seamlessly. Whether you need hands-on assistance with setup and pack-down, or full coordination beginning four weeks out, we step in to manage the logistics so you can relax and enjoy your day.
We coordinate weddings across the Sunshine Coast, including coastal and hinterland locations such as Noosa, Maleny, Montville, Peregian Beach and surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wedding Coordinator - On The Day Coordination Package
-
If you've done all the planning but don't have someone to bring it all together on the day — then yes, absolutely!
It's hard to truly appreciate just how many moving parts there are until you're standing in the middle of it all. You've spent months planning every detail, and you absolutely deserve to enjoy every single moment of it.
But here's the thing — someone still needs to be across everything on the day. Without a coordinator, that job quietly lands on you, a family member, a bridesmaid or a friend. And suddenly the people who are supposed to be celebrating with you are working your wedding instead.
That's where we come in. From four weeks out we step in, review everything you've put together, chat with your vendors, build your personalised run sheet and tie up every last detail. Then on the day we become the go-to person for everyone — your venue, celebrant, florist, photographer, DJ, MC and catering team — so you don’t have to be.
Here's just some of what we take care of on your behalf:
Venue setup and oversee styling
Supplier bump-in and logistics
Ceremony timing and flow
Bridal party coordination
Reception timeline management (MC, DJ, catering and timing)
Guest guidance and direction
Problem-solving and last-minute changes
So, if you want to spend your wedding laughing, crying happy tears and dancing the night away rather than answering questions and watching the clock — then yes, an on the day coordinator is absolutely worth it.
-
No — you don't need to have everything locked in before you book. We take bookings from up to a year out right through to two months before your wedding date, so you can secure your coordinator early. The key is that all your planning is wrapped up at least six weeks before your wedding so we have time to work through the final details together. We'll provide you with a wedding checklist to guide you through all the questions you need to answer for your on the day coordination, so nothing gets missed. From there we'll review your run sheet, identify any gaps, and confirm final bump-in and bump-out times with all your vendors and suppliers in a planning session together. Then on the day we execute everything so you can be completely stress-free from six weeks out right through to the last dance. This is the perfect package for couples who have planned their wedding but want a professional to pull it all together at the end and run the day seamlessly.
-
From four weeks out, we become the main point of contact for all your vendors on the day — so your florist, photographer, caterer and celebrant call us, not you. You get to focus on enjoying every moment in the lead up and on the day of your wedding.
-
All of our pricing is listed clearly on our website — what you see is exactly what you pay. No hidden costs, no surprise fees, no awkward conversations. Just straightforward, transparent pricing so you know exactly what you're getting from the start.
Simply choose the package that suits you, check that your date is available by emailing us at hello@theweddingproject.au or submitting an enquiry using the form below, and then head to our website to secure your date with a deposit.

If you have any questions about what's included or want to chat through which package is right for you, we're always happy to help — just reach out!
-
Yes we do! We understand that sometimes plans change or you realise closer to the date that you'd love a little extra support — and we're here for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Wedding Day Assistant Package
-
A Wedding Day Assistant may be perfect for you if you've already planned your wedding and organised your suppliers, but know there are still a few practical tasks that need to be completed on the day.
Many couples spend months planning every detail themselves, only to realise that someone still needs to set out signage, light candles, deliver items to the venue, assist guests, help with pack down, look after personal items or run small errands throughout the day.
Without dedicated support, these jobs often end up falling to a family member, bridesmaid, groomsman or even the couple themselves — meaning the people who should be enjoying the celebration are instead worrying about tasks and logistics.
A Wedding Day Assistant is there to help with a small number of pre-planned tasks, giving you an extra pair of hands exactly where you need them most.
For example, your assistant may help with:
Setting out personal décor items and signage
Lighting candles and completing final styling touches
Delivering items to your venue
Assisting guests, family members or the bridal party
Looking after pets involved in the wedding
Running errands throughout the day
Gathering items for photographs
Assisting with pack down and collecting personal belongings at the end of the night
It's important to note that a Wedding Day Assistant is not a Wedding Coordinator. They do not manage suppliers, oversee timelines, coordinate your ceremony or reception, or act as the main point of contact for your wedding.
Instead, they're there to focus on a handful of priority tasks that help take the pressure off you and your loved ones.
If you've got a few jobs that need doing but don't want to spend your wedding day doing them yourself — a Wedding Day Assistant can be one of the best investments you make.
After all, you've spent months planning your wedding. On the day itself, you deserve to be fully present and enjoy every moment.
-
No — while both roles provide support on your wedding day, they are designed for very different purposes.
A Wedding Day Assistant is there to assist with specific tasks you've already identified and planned. Think of them as an extra pair of hands helping you with a handful of practical jobs throughout the day.
An On The Day Wedding Coordinator, on the other hand, takes responsibility for managing the overall flow of the wedding, coordinating suppliers, overseeing timelines and acting as the main point of contact for everyone involved.
What can a Wedding Day Assistant help with?
Your Wedding Day Assistant can assist with a small number of pre-planned tasks on your wedding day. Depending on the complexity and timing of each task, most couples will typically choose 2–3 key priorities for their assistant to focus on.
Examples may include:
Setting up personal décor items such as place cards, menus, candles, signage and table runners
Delivering wedding items to your venue
Assisting with simple styling tasks based on your instructions
Helping gather and transport items for photos
Supporting your bridal party with refreshments, drinks and small tasks
Assisting guests when needed
Looking after pets involved in your wedding
Running errands throughout the day
Assisting with pack down and collecting personal items at the end of the night
It's important to remember that a Wedding Day Assistant is one person, and their role is to focus on a select number of tasks that will have the biggest impact on your day. They are not intended to complete every item on a large wedding to-do list or be responsible for multiple areas of the wedding at the same time.
What doesn't a Wedding Day Assistant do?
A Wedding Day Assistant does not:
Create or manage your wedding timeline
Coordinate suppliers or vendors
Direct your ceremony or reception
Liaise with vendors on your behalf throughout the day
Manage unforeseen issues or logistical changes
Act as the lead point of contact for your wedding
Oversee the overall running of the event
So, which option is right for me?
If you've already planned your wedding, have your timeline under control and simply need assistance with a few specific tasks throughout the day, a Wedding Day Assistant may be exactly what you need.
If you'd prefer a professional to oversee the logistics, coordinate suppliers, manage your timeline and ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish, our On The Day Coordination package will be the better fit.
Not sure which service is right for you? Simply send us an enquiry and we'll happily help you determine the best option for your wedding day.
-
Yes — absolutely.
Before we can confirm whether a Wedding Day Assistant is the right fit for your wedding, we'll need a rough but reasonably detailed to-do list, your guest numbers, and a clear timeframe of when you'd like your assistant on-site.
This is because every wedding is different, and the tasks involved can vary significantly depending on the size of your wedding, the complexity of your setup and how many hours of support you're looking for.
A Wedding Day Assistant is designed to provide practical, hands-on support with specific tasks throughout the day. Think of them as your extra pair of hands, helping with a select number of jobs so you, your bridal party and your family can focus on enjoying the celebration.
Depending on your needs, a Wedding Day Assistant may assist with tasks such as:
Setting up personal décor items, signage, place cards, menus and candles
Delivering wedding items to your venue
Assisting with simple styling tasks based on your instructions
Helping coordinate personal items for photos
Supporting the bridal party with refreshments and small tasks
Assisting guests where needed
Looking after pets involved in your wedding
Running errands throughout the day
Assisting with pack down and collecting personal items at the end of the event
Providing your to-do list upfront allows us to review your requirements and determine whether the tasks you've outlined are suitable for a Wedding Day Assistant, as well as whether they can realistically be completed within your chosen package timeframe.
It's important to note that the scope of work is agreed upon before booking. Your Wedding Day Assistant is booked based on the tasks, guest numbers and timeframe provided during the enquiry process.
For this reason, additional tasks cannot be continually added after booking, as this can impact the assistant's ability to complete the agreed responsibilities and may exceed the scope of the package.
The more information you can provide upfront, the more accurately we can assess your needs and ensure your assistant arrives with a clear plan for the day.
Our goal is to make sure you have the right support in place from the beginning, so when your wedding day arrives, you can relax knowing exactly what will be taken care of and by whom.
To get started, simply send through your wedding details, estimated guest numbers, preferred hours of support and your rough to-do list via our enquiry form, and we'll review everything before confirming whether a Wedding Day Assistant is the right fit for your day.
-
All of our pricing is listed clearly on our website — what you see is exactly what you pay. No hidden costs, no surprise fees, no awkward conversations. Simply choose the package that suits you, check that your date is available and head to our website to secure your date with a deposit. If you'd like to add extra hours, those are available as an add-on at checkout too.
-
Yes we do — and please don't hesitate to reach out even if your date is just around the corner!
We accept bookings anywhere from 24 hours before your wedding right through to 12 months in advance, subject to availability.
That said, we always recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for weddings during peak seasons, long weekends and popular dates, as availability can fill quickly.
If your wedding is just around the corner, don't panic! If we have availability, we're more than happy to assist with last-minute bookings and will do our best to get everything organised in time for your special day.
Whether you're planning a year ahead or need support at the last minute, simply reach out and we'll let you know whether your date is available.
-
Payments can be made directly through our website — simply choose the package that suits you and follow the prompts to book.
Before making any payment, please check that your wedding date is available with us first. You can do this by emailing us at hello@theweddingproject.au or submitting an enquiry using the form below — we'd hate for you to book only to find your date isn't available.
If you're enquiring about a Wedding Day Assistant, you'll also need to provide your rough to-do list, guest numbers and preferred timeframe of support before booking. This allows our team to review your requirements and confirm that a Wedding Day Assistant is the right fit for your wedding day before any payment is made.
Once your date and package have been confirmed, a deposit is required to secure your booking, with the remaining balance due 30 days before your wedding.
To pay your deposit, simply use the code MYWEDDINGDEPOSIT at checkout. Once your deposit has been received, your date will be officially secured in our calendar.
