Meet Sue, Your Toowoomba Event Planner
Hi, I'm Sue. I started The Wedding & Event Collective because I believe the people at the centre of a celebration should get to enjoy it.
Too often the bride ends up fixing the seating chart on the morning of her wedding, or the office manager spends her own Christmas party checking on the caterer. My job is to take all of that off your plate.
When you book with us, you get me. I take your first call, meet your suppliers, build your timeline and stay on the day until the last guest has gone home.

Wedding and Event Planning Questions
What does a wedding planner do?
A wedding planner manages the planning and running of your wedding. That includes helping you choose and book suppliers, managing quotes and contracts, building your timeline and running the day itself, so nothing lands on you or your family. How involved we are depends on the wedding planning package you choose.
How much does a wedding planner cost in Toowoomba?
It depends on how much help you need. On-the-day coordination costs less than full planning from engagement to wedding day. We'll give you a clear, written quote after your free planning call, so you know exactly what's included before you commit.
Do I need a planner if my venue has a coordinator?
Your venue coordinator looks after the venue: the room, the kitchen and their staff. We look after you, your other suppliers and the whole day's timeline. The two work well side by side, and most venue coordinators are glad to have one point of contact.
What is on-the-day wedding coordination?
You plan the wedding and book your suppliers, then we step in about 4 to 6 weeks before to confirm every detail, build the run sheet and manage the whole day. It's ideal for organised couples who want to be fully present. See on-the-day wedding coordination.
How far in advance should I book a wedding planner?
For full planning, 12 to 18 months before your wedding is ideal, especially for popular spring and autumn dates on the Downs. For on-the-day coordination, 3 to 6 months is usually enough. If your date is sooner, get in touch anyway. We'll tell you honestly what's possible.
Do you plan corporate events and work Christmas parties?
Yes. We plan end-of-year parties, awards nights, client functions and team events for businesses across Toowoomba and the Darling Downs. You give us one brief, and we handle the venue, suppliers, styling and run sheet. See corporate event planning.
What areas do you cover?
We're based in Toowoomba and cover the Darling Downs, including Highfields, Pittsworth, Oakey, Dalby, Warwick and Stanthorpe. We also work with Brisbane couples marrying on the Downs, and plan private celebrations right across the region.
