PLANNING, COORDINATION & STAFFING

Savvy Wed offers you a service where you can wipe your hands of any stress and unnecessary wasted time, while trusting that you’ll receive the upmost quality wedding day of your dreams. Your Savvy Wed planner is there to help you piece together your suppliers, corresponding with you via email and phone calls at the time of booking your package. One month out from your wedding date, your Savvy Wed planner will pull together all of the final details in a run sheet to hand over to your On-the-day Wedding Coordinator.

An experienced On-the-day Wedding Coordinator will ensure every detail of your wedding day is executed seamlessly. From the beginning of the day overseeing the décor and floral set up, to welcoming and ushering your guests, from coordinating the ceremony line up and music cues, to liaising with your MC and musicians so that everything is executed at the right time. They are there to solve any problems should they arise, ensuring everyone continues to enjoy the most perfect wedding day.

CATERING

Have your wedding catered by the award-winning Fig Tree Restaurant. Gourmet canapés to begin, followed by main course served on generous platters to share. Your wedding cake will be served roaming to finish as your guests enjoy more drinks before the party kicks off!

Savvy Wed’s customised Fig Tree Restaurant menu includes your choice of six gourmet canapés served roaming during your cocktail hour. As your guests are welcomed to take a seat at the table, they will be served freshly baked bread, marinated local olives with extra virgin olive oil. Main course will be served on shared platters with your selection of 3 proteins and 3 gourmet sides.

Reflecting the whims of nature with ingredients locally sourced in the Byron Bay region, Fig Tree Restaurant’s menu offers a selection of canapés and mains that will leave your guests raving about your wedding food.
