How we work

Working with us

We pride ourselves on offering quality service and the best value; that’s why Bells n Whistles offers more face-to-face time with our couples than other wedding planners, at no extra cost. We also appreciate your busy schedule, so we try to make ourselves available out of hours – either face-to-face, by phone or Skype.

Once you hire Bells n Whistles for your special day, we set up some initial meetings to get a good feel for your wedding ideas. We then get to work immediately. We usually try and meet with you the first couple of times we present styling ideas and initial budget so we make sure 100% we are on the right track and everybody is happy.

For those overseas or interstate, we are able to offer you all your documents (styling guide, budget etc) via a link which you can access anytime.

We strictly adhere to agreed milestone dates and pricing, which will ensure all areas of your wedding will be attended to on time and within budget. We also want you to feel comfortable, so you can have as much or as little involvement in your wedding day as you want. At no time will you feel like we’re making plans without you…this is your wedding, your way! We’re here to ensure it happens as you want it to.

Terms and conditions

A 50% deposit must be made before any services can commence. A 30% progress payment is due six months prior to the wedding date, with 10% due three months prior to the wedding date and the final 10% to be paid one week prior to the wedding day. Failure to pay will result in the halt of all wedding services. If your wedding has a shorter lead-time, alternative payment dates will be discussed.

Payments can be made via direct bank deposit only. Funds will need to be cleared before payment is final and work can commence.

Our packages are all inclusive – we have no small print or hidden clauses and the fees we quote are final. You don’t get hit with additional charges along the way or after your wedding.

Styling packages are inclusive of our styling consultations and expertise. Please note, we are stylists not a hire company, therefore we cannot absorb the cost of hiring – this is additional. We do however, hire from reputable and trusted suppliers while negotiating within your budget.
