My Recommendations

Amanda's Trusted Wedding Vendors

Personally chosen vendors I trust across Newcastle, Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and the Central Coast

Wedding Diaries Editor’s Choice, four years running

After 18 years of wedding days, I’ve worked alongside a lot of incredible people. Photographers who have a gift for catching the light. Florists who transform a venue into something you could only have imagined. Celebrants who make you forget there’s anyone else in the room. Over time, real working relationships form - and I’ve watched these people show up, again and again, for the couples who trust them.

This page is my personal collection of vendors I’d genuinely recommend. Not a paid directory, not a generic list, these are the people I’ve stood beside in bridal suites and ceremony spaces. If I wouldn’t point my own sister toward them on her wedding morning, they’re not here.

Whether you’re just beginning to plan or in the final weeks before your day, I hope this saves you some of the searching. You deserve a team around you that makes the whole experience feel as good as the day itself.
