Floral styling is a dedicated service within the studio. Working in tandem with the broader design team, their floral specialists develop concepts that complement the venue, season and overall aesthetic.

Founded in 2014, Oh Happy Day has grown from a single planner to a collaborative team of specialists that includes lead luxury wedding planners, designers, stylists, décor experts and logistics professionals. They believe that heartfelt connection with clients sets them apart, and this philosophy guides every decision they make on an event.

Across all event types, the consistent thread is craft, care and originality. Clients can expect thoughtful ideas shaped into practical plans, an aesthetic that feels true to them, and a team that is present from concept to close to ensure every detail is in place.

Jolene did an amazing job helping with my wedding arranging.
I had a destination wedding in Italy which had challenges due language barriers and not being able to see the venue.
There are so many decisions to be made and Jolene s supportive in making decisions especially around the colours and ideas for bridesmaids. She s a fantastic sounding board. She really helped make the process so much easier and help with all the steps needed.
She also connecting me with an amazing creative designer (Wendy) who helped with all my printing and made the process so much easier for me, especially given both Jolene’s and Wendy vast wedding experience.
I couldn't recommend Jolene and her company more. They're an absolute joy to work with.

I’d highly recommend Jo and her team! Speaking from the perspective of a wedding photographer, every wedding I’ve captured alongside them (too many to count now!) has been nothing short of magical - beautifully designed, seamless, and downright drool-worthy. I always leave feeling inspired!

Oh Happy Day s the best decision I ever made when it came to my children’s weddings They created a beautiful bush wedding for my daughter and hubby 4 years ago and outdid themselves. My son got married last weekend 14/2/2026 and once again they were UNBELIEVABLE! Nothing s too much trouble, from the little issues and silly questions to organising the entire day perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend Jo and her extremely capable team!!! Thank you thank you thank you OH HAPOY DAY ❤️🙏🏻

Working with Jo and Kate s one of the greatest blessings of our entire wedding journey. I don’t think there are words big enough to explain just how extraordinary these two women are — but I’ll try.
From the very first conversation, they made us feel seen, understood, and completely supported. They took every dream, every idea, every moment of panic, every unexpected disaster, and somehow turned it all into pure magic. Our rehearsal dinner felt like stepping into a movie scene — elegant, rm, unforgettable. Our engagement party? I still catch myself thinking about it a year later because it s that perfect.
And our wedding day… an actual DREAM. Every single guest has raved not just about how beautiful it s, but how it felt. And that feeling — that atmosphere, that emotion, that seamless flow — is all thanks to Jo and Kate. They didn’t just plan a wedding. They crafted an experience. A memory. A story we will l for the rest of our lives.
Their kindness, patience, and professionalism are unmatched, but beyond that, they bring so much heart into everything they do. They were our calm in chaos, our creative geniuses, our protectors, and our biggest champions. They went so far above and beyond that “thank you” will never feel like enough.
Choosing them s one of the best decisions we have ever made. If you’re lucky enough to work with Jo and Kate, you will not only get an unforgettable event — you will get two incredible humans who pour their whole souls into making your dream come to life.
We adore them, and we could not recommend them more.

Joelene and her team were pivotal in bringing our wedding to life and ensuring the actual day ran smoothly and blissfully.
They were there for every bit of admin, paying huge attention to every little detail. They were so kind, spirited and patient throughout.
You couldn’t ask for better professionals for your big day!

We were so excited about using this company, an paid for the consultation where we felt as though our ideas of places were not looked in to an just one venue s discussed where the company had done several weddings. I understand this means they know the venue well but to just discount the places we had shown interest in s a bit disappointing. We then found our dream venue an wrote to the lady where she said she would look in to this and we have been ignored ever since. For a company with such a big reputation it's very dissappointing. After being ignored we reached out to other planners who were much more helpful and cooperative with us and happy to look in to all of our ideas. So before going for this company have a look around and see if another fits you best as this place s alot of money for not great customer service.

There truly aren’t enough words to describe how incredible Kate s throughout our wedding journey. She s genuinely an angel on earth. From the very beginning, she s kind, patient, calming, and made the entire planning process such a joyful and special experience for both my mom and I. Every meeting, every decision, every moment felt exciting instead of stressful because of her.
And then on our wedding day, the unimaginable happened - there s a fire at our venue. Within moments, everything changed. A completely new venue had to be arranged at the last minute, along with moving all the décor, coordinating the food, organising logistics, arranging rooms for our family, and managing absolute chaos behind the scenes.
Yet somehow, Kate handled it all with the most unbelievable grace and composure. My husband and I were never stressed because we knew Kate had everything under control. She protected our peace and allowed us to fully experience the joy of our wedding day despite everything happening around us.
To this day, we still feel like we had the most perfect wedding day - and that is entirely because of Kate. What she pulled off feels nothing short of miraculous. We will never stop being grateful to her for giving us the most beautiful memories of our lives.
Kate and Joe are absolute rockstars - truly angels on earth - and we will sing Oh Happy Day’s praises forever.

Honestly couldn’t recommend them more! The most incredible group of women that helped us through every obstacle, big and small! From the beginning they made the entire process feel so effortless, exciting and a lot less overwhelming. I would have been lost without them!
What stood out the most s just the y they made us feel, calm, understood, supported and genuinely celebrated! Everything flowed so seamlessly on our wedding and I am so grateful to have had them there by our side. Nothing s too big of a job! We truly couldn’t have done it without them!
If you are looking for a wedding planning company that is passionate, organised, creative, and deeply invested in making your special day unforgettable, then look no further, the Oh Happy Day Team are just the best in the business!
