This vibrant soul has graced us with her creativity, eye for detail and love for love – creating unique weddings for each of her brides, complete with her special ‘quirk’. Seeing her role as a planner as nothing less than an honour, we had the pleasure of sitting for a few moments together, learning about the beautiful bells and whimsical whistles of her life, her business, and of course, Bali.

Business Name: Hitch’d Weddings & Events

In a coconut shell, tell us about your lovely self and your business?
I am a Perth girl living the dream in Bali! I lived in Bali when I was much younger, moved to Perth for schooling and visited my family here all the time – Bali is basically my second home! I was super lucky to get an ‘in’ to the events world when I arrived, allowing me to see the amazing beauty this island has to offer. Hitch’d was born from wanting to create unique events with a hint of quirk, ones that show who our clients are as people and couples along with little touches of our own creative flair.

How did it all begin?
After working for other companies in the event industry I knew I could bring something a little special to Bali and to the destination event experience. I thought if I could create a company the way I wanted and have the bonus of working for myself and create events I am passionate about, why not give it a go. And here we are! I know people are after something a little different and something a little more personal and I believe I can offer that and so much more. Hitch’d is a dream coming to life for me and I plan to continue to bring other people’s event dreams to life, one at a time!

What’s your super-power?  And what’s unique about your business?
Being human! Being human is so important to us and we feel this is what makes us massively different. We are 100% open and honest, talking and emailing the same as we would to our long time friends – Expect lots of WOOO’s and HOORAY’s! We are so far from corporate or ‘structured’, this isn’t the kind of company or people we are. We get just as excited as our clients about their event, it’s what we live, breathe and love to do. We aim to build friendships as well as events (a little lame but we love love after all!).

Where do you draw your inspiration from?
Our gorgeous clients! Everyone is so different so we try to draw inspiration from who they are and what they’re loving. A good view also helps, if I have a window with a stunner of a view I can create for days, haha! Add a bit of Pinterest, Instagram and Home / Wedding Magazine flicking, you’ve got yourself a winner!

Who is your creative muse?
Not who, but what – Coffee and a good view! Also a collection of other creatives – stylists, architecture and music all is so inspiring pushes me to the next level!

Why is it important to have a wedding planner in Bali?
No stress! We take care of everything so you don’t have to. Not only this, but we are familiar with the Island so are already able to give advice and know what, who and when works best. Trying to scout the best florist, photographer, all of these things can be so tedious and stressful when you don’t know where to start, so having someone like Hitch’d who have this all in their ‘little black book’ (actually a catalogue…) is a massive starting point. Lastly, trying to piece it all together and hope it runs itself on the day is a huge risk. We don’t want couples worrying about anything except what their next cocktail will be, so we make sure this is all taken care of as well by running the show on the D-Day.As we say, ‘All you need is love, we do the rest’!
