I am a big advocate for wedding planners no matter your budget. Nothing quite helps on the day than having someone not emotionally invested in the proceedings making sure everything runs smoothly. So let me introduce you to Michelle from Shells to Bells Wedding Planners.

From on the day wedding management to room setup and break down, wedding schedule set ups and even managing your suppliers. They have packages for as little or as much help as you need!

We asked Michelle from Shells to Bells Wedding Planners five questions in five minutes –

What is your favourite after five drink?

In winter a good Shiraz, Summer is Sav Blanc but for a wedding it has to be bubbles!!

Your favourite weekend getaway?

I live on the northern beaches so my favourite weekend getaway is across the road at the beach. Most importantly I need my baby girl and husband and I am set for the perfect weekend anywhere!

Favourite restaurant?

I love variety so I don’t have a favourite as such but Dunes at Palm Beach is always a great night out. (And a lovely place for a wedding.)

What can we find you eating for breakfast on a Sunday morning?

Scrambled eggs with salmon

Your favourite wedding story?

I once had a gorgeous bride and groom who met, fell in love, got engaged and married within 15 months. It was bitter sweet as the groom’s mother had passed a few weeks before they met but they were so in love and happy they had found the one after years of searching. They were an older couple and thought it wasn’t really an option to have children but found out 1 week prior to the wedding they were pregnant which they announced at the wedding. It was one of my favourite weddings to work as there was so much love and happiness in the room. I was very privileged to be a part of their day.
