Meet Mel Moore-Foye

Every love story deserves to be celebrated well

Hi, I'm Mel. I love getting to know the people behind the plans, hearing the stories that matter and finding the words that feel right.


Whether you're planning a big celebration or an intimate elopement, I'll help you create a ceremony that feels authentic, heartfelt and uniquely yours.


From our first chat to your "I do", I'll guide you through the legal paperwork and ceremony planning, so the experience feels simple, enjoyable and stress-free.


Based in the Illawarra, I celebrate couples across Wollongong, the South Coast and the Southern Highlands. I'd love to hear what you're imagining.
