INITIAL MEETINGS

First we meet and get to know you!

This is where we get to know how you met, your hobbies and the general details of your wedding so far. According to where you are at in your planning, we will give you an outline of what to expect regarding your wedding budget and the framework of your wedding. Once we've collected all your ideas, we'll find all the available venues & suppliers for your wedding date so we can place hold bookings for your ideal choices.     

INSPIRATION SESSIONS

We love weddings! With so many different ideas to choose from, our albums will help you hone in on the right style for you. By choosing the right style for your budget, We'll help you create the perfect foundations for your dream wedding. These inspiration sessions will help you define what venue, decorations and even which flowers you want or don't want, making your next planning steps much easier.

GUEST LIST AND VENUE CONSULTANCY

Will this venue comfortably fit your 120 guests?

Does the venue have a wet weather plan in place?

Will the venue allow me to BYO drinks?

This is where we answer those big questions before you book your venue. Finding the right venue for you can be a time consuming task. The Shanahan Events Team have inspected the vast majority of the wedding venues in Melbourne in order to find the right reception venue to fit your specific needs.

Our expertise and attention to detail in wedding search is unmatched, which is why Shanahan Events is the most wanted for wedding reception and venue search.

COMPLETE WEDDING DAY SCHEDULE PLANNING

Your venue has scheduled your reception, your celebrant has planned out your ceremony, but what about the rest of the day?
