Sea Tree Weddings & Events

Thanks to Aysia and her team at Sea Tree Weddings, my partner and I had the MOST amazing wedding! We decided early on to get a day-of coordinator to help relieve the stress of managing family members, friends, and vendors the weekend of the wedding and in the month leading up to it. Since we had an out of town wedding in Port Renfrew, the coordination was that much more time and energy consuming and Sea Tree Weddings made it both easy and enjoyable for my husband and I. I very highly recommend that brides to go the route of hiring a day-of coordinator or planner to take away the stress on your perfect day, and above all I recommend Sea Tree Weddings for their attention to detail, knowledge of the industry, and ability to seamlessly coordinate all aspects of the wedding!

Aysia was extremely accommodating in every way we asked for. She had lots of local knowledge to share that helped us save money on choosing vendors even though our wedding was in Port Renfrew which is a rather isolated community with limited services. She dove into the relevant COVID event restrictions and helped us understand them to ensure we were able to have a worry-free and amazing weekend. She also ensured we had all the information we needed from the venue to make reliable plans for every part of the event. Another thing that stood out was her attention to detail on many of the things that we would have overlooked. Those things were all included in the big binder full of checklists you get when you start working with her but there’s always going to be unique aspects of any wedding that will benefit from Aysia’s resourceful nature.

Overall she was professional, friendly, calm, collected, and motivating. Would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in the South Island.

I booked a consultation with Aysia as I just wanted to check in with someone experienced in this industry to make sure I was on the right track with my planning. She was very responsive via e-mail. At our virtual meeting, she was very easy to talk with while being professional and full of practical and creative tips. After just one hour I came away with a better overall vision and a better grasp of many of the details I had been struggling with. Based on this, I am confident Aysia is an excellent full or day of planner as well (unfortunately just not available for my wedding date!)

Let me be perfectly clear - Aysia MADE our wedding a success. From the very first time we sat to talk to her, Aysia's amazing combination of enthusiasm and professionalism both put us at ease and got us both excited about our wedding. Her advice was well researched, down to earth and cheerful. She helped coach and guide us through everything from figuring out what we wanted to cleaning up the venue after is was all over, all with a friendliness, grace and passion that made our wonderful wedding day more than it had occur to us to hope for.

We were going to talk to a potential vendor? She was there with averages for pricing and policy and a list of important questions to ask. We weren't sure how to budget for a photographer? She made calls, sent emails and scoured dozens of portfolios with us until we found a perfect match. We got overwhelmed at any point? She was there to organize, prioritize and get us back on track with a smile. Something went wrong at the ceremony or reception? She had a solution underway before we ever even found out there was a problem. No matter what, she always put us having the experience we wanted at the very top of her priority list, and not only worked to make it happen, but empowered us to enjoy the experience as a whole. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but with Aysia at our side it really felt like we could handle it. And we did!

This woman is worth her weight in gold and is an absolute gem, both as a person and as a planner. I can't imagine our wedding without her. If you get the opportunity to work with her on yours, I can't recommend enough that you do. Aysia, thank you again so so much!
