“You don’t get a second chance to have a perfect Wedding.”
~ Lee Cass, LENORE K.
Congratulations. You’re engaged and getting married!
Over the next coming months all you’ll think, talk and dream about is your upcoming wedding.
Wedding Planning
To organise your Fairytale Dream Wedding requires hundreds of hours of research, planning, organisation and a lot of patience.
You will need to choose and meet suppliers, visit prospective venues, taste test wedding cakes, opt for a colour palette, create a theme and ‘common thread’, attend make-up and hair trials and more.
Plus you need to find your wedding dress and after too many cake trials, maybe a personal trainer too! Then fit in work, balance of lifestyle, geographical challenges, information overload, follow-up emails and telephone calls. Already Stressed! You don’t have to be!
Leaders in the event and wedding industry LENORE K. can meet and sit with you slotting into any stage of your planning and organisational process, to provide services as per your needs and budget.
Getting the balance right
LENORE K. coordinates and manages many events and weddings each year throughout Australia, with no two events or budgets alike. Lee says, “The most important part of planning your exclusive wedding is getting the balance right – planning, budgeting and organising.”
