Wanake, New Zealand

We got married in beautiful Queenstown, New Zealand on the 1st of May 2015 and engaged Danielle Nash from There You Are as our overall wedding decorator, planner and go to lady for pretty much everything. Being a busy professional, it was really important for me to have somebody who I could rely on, not only get the job done but to inspire me with ideas and unique design elements to make our day really special.
 
Our wedding not only had a lot of detail, but it was also planned entirely in Australia. This added a whole new dimension to what would be required from a planning perspective. Danielle sat with us to go through our “dream board” in the early days, she took care of all our invitations, the overall design of all stationery, flowers, the look and feel for the ceremony, table settings (essentially the entire reception), the set-up of the whole event and had everything ordered in advance to arrive in Queenstown so that she could set it up.
 
What I loved about Danielle especially during this process was of course her organisation but also her ability to advise us on colours, design, look and feel while listening to our ideas, being respectful and integrating what we actually wanted as hero elements on the day. Danielle has a real eye for detail, she is creative and I loved the peace of mind it gave me knowing I had someone who could make everything look perfect.
 
Danielle and her team literally blew us way with their level of service. They were with us throughout the entire process and the end result was absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend Danielle and There You Are to anyone who needs assistance with the design and planning of any event.

Danielle took our vision of 'Modern moody medieval' and absolutely nailed it. Organising a destination wedding whilst both working full time is really difficult.

Danielle pulled together a dream board for the styling and our invitations and created a cohesive vision we never would have thought of. The invitations were incredibly thoughtful and unique.

Danielle drew a monogrammed crest for us, combining our initials and a sketch of our favourite florals and made it seem like the crest had been in our family for years. She had a huge range of coloured paper options and envelopes and we really decided in the end to leave it to her. We had so much information being a destination wedding and she decided that a pocket style would be best. One of the most beautiful touches to the invitation suite was a hand painted picture of the venue. It was washed out and dreamy and just so gorgeous.

BUT it had nothing on our thank you cards which was a handprinted portrait from our wedding photos of the two of us. So beautiful and meaningful.

On the day Danielle came down to Bendooley, set up the tables with immaculate styling, she ordered all the napkins, bespoke letter name tags, vases and black goblets. She designed and organised our beautiful welcome blankets (we were in the Southern Highlands in August!) with our crest on them. And there were so many beautiful signs and touches of us throughout the day, our cake topper and a thousand other things that were so special for our day. She made sure our day was uniquely ours.

Danielle was incredible to deal with, easy and enjoyable to chat to, she worked well with all our suppliers and kept everyone organised on the day. We couldn't have done it without her.

Also, we got married a month before the plebiscite for legal marriage was announced. Danielle was so so accomodating and wonderful throughout the process and made us the most incredible marriage certificate with florals from our wedding suite Thank you so much.

"There You Are did an amazing job on my whole wedding. I had seen Danielle’s work online and at a wedding I had been to and thought it was beautiful, so I contacted her very early on in the piece for our wedding planning. We hired Danielle to do everything from our stationary, decorations, flowers and set up on the day. From the moment we sat down with Danielle we felt very comfortable leaving it in her hands, and absolutely loved the ideas she came up with. We loved the idea of tying my Australian culture in with my fiance’s Dutch culture. Danielle came up with the amazing idea of creating our own delft pattern, using Australian and Dutch birds and flowers, from there we added the location we were getting married and the bear and sheep, as they tied in with our names/nicknames. The first draft of the pattern Danielle sent through made it so exciting and real. It really tied so much together and we absolutely loved it. The whole stationary kept with the theme, our Saved the Dates, Invitations, RSVP’s, Menu’s, Seating Charts, Signs, everything had the theme. We had just loved the visual of it all, and will hopefully use the same pattern on our Thank You’s.

There were so many great ideas that Danielle came up with from the beginning in our Dream File. So many beautiful suggestions and we loved them all. Even nice touches like suggesting changing out the venue napkins for something more in line with our theme. There was a hiccup with the venue and not being able to have a hanging foliage setup, Danielle came up with multiple options for me to choose from as a solution. It was great having Danielle talk directly with the venue to, to work with them, which meant last minute stresses I didn’t need to worry about, because they were liaising with each other.

The flowers on the day were absolutely stunning. The theme Danielle had envisioned with the Australian and Dutch culture was emphasized more with the flowers. With Australia Natives and Tulips. The leaves and gum nuts as the runners on the tables really gave that’s natural earthy feeling we wanted. And the wooden candle sticks and mercury votive’s added to the warmth in the room. I love hydrangeas, and knew they would be hard to get coming into March, and knew they would be more of the vintage colour, but I love that. Danielle did a lot to make sure she got them, and I was so happy, because Hydrangeas mean so much to me.

Having Danielle organise the set up and the take down on the day and day before was one of the best things I think I did. And I would really suggest to anyone, to do this. I didn’t have to think twice about it. I knew it was all in safe hands. So many people were worried that I wasn’t worried or freaking out a few weeks out, or even the days leading up to, but knowing it was in Danielle’s hands meant that I was able to focus on the things I needed to. To not have to worry about flowers the days leading up or trying to decorate the room hours before the day, or put that stress on to family and friends, just meant that my whole family was able to relax and enjoy themselves, but also I didn’t have to think twice.

I would thoroughly suggest There You Are to anyone. Whether you want for Stationary, to ensure that you have a theme woven throughout your event, or to have her organise beautiful flowers and bouquets or have her do the whole thing, to find a theme and have that come to life. Danielle was amazing. We loved her ideas and her personal touch to our whole wedding.

Danielle imagined our styling from the very beginning, we wanted something clean and crisp with whites and green. She designed our invitations in a matter of hours from our brief we were amazed at how she hit the brief so clearly. We loved our invitations and the paper quality was beautiful. We also had her design a website that ties into our invitation theme with all of our destination wedding information on it.

It was simple and easy to navigate. Our monogram was used for our menus and seating chart and all the little touches that Danielle included that made the day so much more special than we could have anticipated. Our flowers were so beautiful, with the bouquets and buttonholes being so so beautiful, they made me teary and we have had comments from all our friends. We were so grateful to have her there during the day to coordinate the vendors. Danielle and Peter had the flowers, styling and the vendors under control. It was such a relief. Highly recommend.

Danielle was the creative force who helped my wife and I achieve the wedding of our dreams. Danielle also designed our invites and created our wedding website. We had a very specific vision in mind, filled with symbols and colours and she brought that to life. Danielle's styling on the day was so gorgeous, with our bespoke mauve linen napkins, geode name tags that she personally calligraphed, she organised a personalised possum wooden cake topper that meant so much to us as well as lots of other little touches. Would highly recommend using Danielle for all things around your wedding.

“Thank you thank you thank you to Danielle and the wonderful team at There You Are Studio!

From the moment you began consulting, assisting and helping with our wedding theme and style we knew we were in safe hands.

Danielle is incredibly creative and takes the time to understand exactly what you want and don’t want.

Our invitations were one of a kind, simple, elegant and very us. She also hand calligraphed our name tags and all of our signs. She also created colouring in books for the kids and SO many more little touches that we were blown away by,

She created an absolute dream wedding day for us and every element, big and small was delivered so well and professionally. From our wedding invitations to flowers to the whole table setting everything was so beautiful and elegant, just as we had hoped.

I’m happy to recommend There You Are to any family or friend that’s planning a wedding.”

"Cannot praise There You Are enough for the beautiful job she did for my wedding.

From helping with theme ideas, design and printing of invitations, table arrangements, seating charts, meeting with florists and the venue staff, and setting up the ceremony and reception... There you Are was all over it!

In the lead up to our wedding, I felt calm and confident knowing Danielle was on top of everything. She allowed us to make our own decisions, but helped when we were unsure or needed guidance with design ideas. The reception was beautifully done and the attention to detail on the tables was divine.

I have been to other weddings that There You Are has been involved with, and you can tell the difference between these receptions and ones without!!

More than just a creative, talented lady with an eye for detail, Danielle is a beautiful and honest person who will not let you down on your big day!
