WEDDINGS ‘DONE DIFFERENTLY’
Hi, I’m Jess.
I work with couples who care just as much about how their wedding day feels as how it looks.
The ones planning their wedding from the ground up.
If this sounds like you…
My role is to support you in bringing it all together.
To hold the moving parts on the day, guide the flow, and make sure your day feels as good as it’s meant to.
So you’re not managing it all… you can let go, and be a guest on your wedding day.
You want a day that actually feels like you.
Celebrating the life you’ve created together.
You’re down to earth.
You value connection, joy, memories… the love in the room.
You’re bringing together your family and your chosen family to experience something really special.
There’s already so much love in your life
and this gets to be a reflection of that.
Your kind of wedding is…
On an expansive private property.
Open space, nature all around you.
It feels warm, personal, intentional.
Like you’re welcoming people into something that already has meaning.
It’s relaxed.
Joyful.
Connected.
Everything reflects you.
Your style. Your energy. Your way of doing things.
It’s wow, yes,
but more than that, it feels as good as it looks.
You’re supported.
Your vendors are aligned.
There’s intention in every detail.
And you actually get to be there for it.
Not rushing.
Not managing.
Present with your people.
Spending TIME together and creating MEMORIES that last.
You get to do this your way.
Maybe you include your children.
Maybe you spend the morning together instead of apart.
Maybe you have a first look… or you don’t.
Maybe you skip traditions that don’t feel like you.
Maybe you stay at cocktail hour because you want to enjoy the fun.
Together, we create a seamless timeline that works for you.
There’s no right way.
Just your way.
Private Property Weddings - What They Truly Involve…
A property holds a different kind of warmth.
It feels intimate. Personal. Real.
I love that space so much.
But I also know what it takes to bring it to life.
Because behind that feeling…
there are a lot of moving parts.
More vendors.
More logistics.
More layers to hold.
It’s not a venue where everything is already in place.
It’s something you’re creating from the ground up.
And when you’re doing things differently,
when you’re creating something that’s truly yours…
There isn’t a clear path to follow and to be honest, you’re more likely to
have challenges arise on the day.
That’s where I come in
I hold the bigger picture.
I make sure everything connects.
That your vendors are aligned and communicating.
That the day flows the way it’s meant to.
I’m your sounding board when you’re not sure.
The person you can bring your ideas to
even when they’re just a feeling.
I help you shape it into something that works without losing what matters to you.
You’re not doing this alone.
Yes, you’re planning your wedding.
But you don’t need to hold it all.
There’s a different kind of luxury in being supported.
In having space.
In feeling calm.
In knowing someone has you.
Someone who understands what you’re creating and is there to help bring it to life.
“This woman is an absolute life saver! Words truly can’t describe how amazing Jess was over the course of our day. From the moment she arrived, she was on her game.
Our wedding wasn't easy but she managed to pull magic from thin air to keep things moving smoothly.
Her intuition for weddings is astounding. There were times when I would turn around and she was doing things before I'd even thought of them!
Do yourself a favour and hire Jess for your wedding day. She goes above and beyond to melt away the stress of the day.”

FAQ’S

I make sure your plans come to life as you imagined.
I am connected with you as you plan your wedding. I hold the day for you, so you can enjoy it! Calmly managing the details, people, and timing so you don’t have to think about a thing.
Behind the scenes, I’ll:
Liaise with all your vendors and make sure everyone knows where to be and when.
Oversee setup and styling to ensure everything aligns with your vision.
Keep the timeline flowing, from the moment you get ready to your first dance.
Guide the bridal party and family members so they feel supported and confident.
Troubleshoot any hiccups quietly before you even know they happened.
I’m there as your calm presence, your organiser, and your biggest supporter so you can truly be present, soak it all in, and enjoy the day you’ve worked so hard to create.
I also offer so much more than that - The Held Experience is so balanced in logistics and heartfelt support throughout your planning process.

That’s such a great question and one I hear often. Your venue manager is there to oversee everything related to the venue — the food, bar, setup of their space, staff and safety.
I step in to take care of everything else — the people, the flow, the timing, the details.From communicating with your florist and photographer, to cueing music for your aisle walk, to ensuring the styling details are ready for your entrance to the reception — I hold all those small (but important) pieces together so the day runs seamlessly.
Think of your venue manager and I as a dream team — we each have our lane, and together we make sure you don’t have to lift a finger. 🤍
-
Not quite. Your stylist focuses on the look and feel of your day — they create the aesthetic and often leave once setup is complete.
Your planner (if you have one) helps design and organise the big picture in the lead-up (and may offer Day Coordination also).As your Day-Of Coordinator, I step in to bring it all together on the day. I’m your point person from morning to night — managing vendors, troubleshooting, guiding your bridal party, and ensuring every moment flows as beautifully as you imagined.
-
Peace of mind.
You’ll have someone who already knows your vision and all the details, who’s anticipating what’s next, and who will quietly take care of any issues that arise, without you even knowing it happened.It means you get to be fully present.
To laugh, dance, eat, and soak in every moment, knowing a professional is holding the details for you.
Day-Of Coordination
DIY Styling Setup
My wish for you is that you’re able to feel a sense of peace leading up to your wedding day.
To take a big exhale, have a clear mind, know that you’re held and all the details are covered.
Space to slow down and be fully present
Calm oversight as your day unfolds with ease
A blend of logistics, creativity, and intuition
Experience in design, team leadership, and creative direction
Support for your plans, your energy, and your love
“As an A-Type Bride, I honestly didn’t think I needed a wedding coordinator…”
TESTIMONAL BY TANIA MAAS - BRIDE
(WEDDING COORDINATION & DIY STYLING SETUP)
“I was so sure that no one could do things exactly the way I envisioned them — perfectly, precisely, down to the tiniest detail. Then bam… along comes Jess. And she didn’t just meet my expectations — she completely redefined them.
From the very beginning, Jess was this calm, radiant force of nature. She has this incredible ability to take your chaos and turn it into something seamless and beautiful.
She listened, she anticipated, and she understood exactly what mattered most to me. Nothing was ever too much trouble. She made me feel like I could finally take a deep breath and just trust that everything would be perfect — and it was.
On the day of the wedding, there was a HUGE storm brewing (with an outdoor ceremony) — dark clouds, the threat of hail, and even the possibility of losing power. But here’s the thing… I wasn’t worried. Not even for a second. Because I knew Jess had it all under control.
-
If there’s anyone who can handle a wedding in the middle of a Queensland storm and still make it look and feel like a fairytale, it’s her. She was calm, organised, and completely unshakable. While the world outside was threatening chaos, inside everything was pure magic.
Jess didn’t just coordinate a wedding — she created an experience. Every single detail was perfection. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, making sure everything ran like clockwork, while somehow still managing to look effortlessly stunning herself.
But beyond her talent and professionalism, Jess is a beautiful person. She’s genuinely one of those rare souls who gives her all — her time, her heart, her energy — to make sure your day is nothing short of incredible. She radiates warmth and kindness, and you can feel how much she truly cares about her couples.
Because of Jess, I didn’t have to think about a single thing on my wedding day. I just got to be — to laugh, to cry, to dance, to soak up every moment of marrying the man of my dreams. And that is something I will forever be grateful for.
So to every future bride reading this — if you’re wondering whether you need a coordinator… you do. You need Jess. She will take your vision, your stress, your last-minute panic, and turn it all into something breathtaking.
Jess, you are an absolute superstar. Thank you for making our day more perfect than I ever thought possible — storm and all. 🤍TANIA MAAS - BRIDE (Google Review)
“It’s always a pleasure to meet someone who truly has the best intentions for their couples and a real passion for bringing their dreams to life.”
TESTIMONAL BY MOLLY WILFORD
- VENUE EVENT MANAGER
(WEDDING COORDINATION & DIY STYLING SETUP)
"I am one of the Event Managers at The Water’s Edge venue in Hamilton, and I had the pleasure of working with Jess on a recent wedding.
Jess was absolutely incredible to work with on the day. She had a clear vision of what the bride wanted and was able to guide my team seamlessly to ensure the venue was set perfectly.
She arrived early, was hands-on throughout the setup, and was such a kind and genuine person to work alongside.
Jess was approachable, professional, and easy to communicate with in the lead-up to the event, which made the coordination process smooth and enjoyable. I would happily work with her again anytime and highly recommend her to any couple looking for a dedicated and talented wedding coordinator.”
Collaboration Over Competition
Weddings and events are a team sport, and I love working alongside passionate, heart-centred vendors!
One of the close relationships I’ve formed is with Emily from The Wedding Coordinator Brisbane.
We regularly assist one another professionally.
What this means for you:
• Strong, trusted vendor relationships
• Coordinators who actively support one another
I’m continually nurturing meaningful industry connections so your day is supported with professionalism, ease, and quiet confidence .
Words from Emily
“I have had the pleasure of working with Jess many times now.
Jess is reliable, organised, has great attention to detail and is so passionate about each couple and making their day perfect. Jess is amazing to work with and I always know I am going to have a fantastic time.
Jess has a real love of weddings and that is made obvious in the high standard of work and care for each individual couple.”
