James & Shar’s Destination Wedding

Private Property Wedding, Tasmania | November 2025

Planning a wedding is no small feat—planning one from the other side of the world takes a whole new level of trust. For James and Shar, bringing their dream Tasmanian wedding to life from the United States could have felt overwhelming. Instead, it became an experience defined by ease, connection, and thoughtful detail.

From the very beginning, clear and consistent communication set the tone. With Maddy leading both event planning and on-the-day coordination, every step felt supported and intentional. Distance was never a barrier—questions were answered promptly, details were anticipated before they became problems, and the entire process unfolded smoothly and stress-free.

Hosted on a private farm property, the wedding required careful planning, multiple site visits, and a hands-on approach. Maddy visited the venue several times, helped source and supply key event equipment, and guided James and Shar through decisions they didn’t even realise they needed to make. For a couple planning from overseas, trusted local knowledge made all the difference.

Vendor selection was another standout. With thoughtful recommendations and strong local connections, Maddy curated a dream team that perfectly aligned with the couple’s vision—ensuring every element worked seamlessly together on the day.

In addition to planning and coordination, Mr. Franklin provided the bar and beverage service, which quickly became a highlight of the celebration. The cocktails were not only beautifully presented but genuinely memorable, with guests raving long after the last drink was poured. Personalised drink toppers added a meaningful, bespoke touch that reflected the couple’s style and elevated the overall experience.

Above all, James and Shar describe feeling completely comfortable and cared for throughout the journey. The combination of professionalism, warmth, creativity, and genuine investment in their day meant they could relax and truly enjoy their wedding.

For couples dreaming of a destination wedding in Tasmania—especially on a private property—James and Shar’s experience is a perfect example of what’s possible with the right support. Thoughtful planning, expert coordination, and a team that truly cares can turn even the most complex logistics into a celebration that feels effortless.
