Hannah & Richard

When we decided to get married in the groom’s hometown of Perth, Australia, we knew we were going to need a lot of help. How were we going to plan an Australian wedding while living in the United States? No question about it, we needed the most amazing wedding planner to make it all possible. We interviewed a few planners and we knew Lara was perfect for us. She instantly understood and appreciated our vision for the day and reassured us that she would take care of well…everything. And she did.

We wanted a small, intimate, backyard wedding – but we also planned to have 100+ guests. We wanted craft cocktails, live music, and plated, gourmet food – but we wanted a relaxed, ethereal vibe. Lara took our oxymorons and turned them into reality.

Lara graciously accommodated us throughout the entire planning process, especially with the early morning Skype calls due to the time difference, but Lara also looked after the groom’s family (the troops on the ground). Richard and I appreciated this so much as we could only do so much from the States. One of the things we appreciated the most was Lara’s knowledge of vendors. She helped us find the best vendors in town and the service we received from all the vendors was absolutely impeccable. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be.

Near the end of our wedding reception, Lara came and found us and said “my work here is done.” I remember looking around and admiring (for the 100th time) how beautiful everything was, and reflecting on how smoothly everything had run. Needless to say, I nearly cried as I hugged Lara and thanked her for all her hard work. White Events took such good care of Richard and I – we couldn’t have done it without you.
