Samantha Burke Events

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sam and her team from Feb 2021 until our wedding December 2022. If we could give her 10 stars we would. For such an important event, investing in Samantha’s services was easily the best money we spent.She helped us truly have the wedding of our dreams, from connections to the best vendors in the industry, to thinking of details that would have never occurred to us. Neither my husband nor I had strong opinions about decor, but she designed an ambience that was above and beyond anything we could have created ourselves. She is incredibly transparent, respectful, and takes all feedback on board to really ensure her clients are as happy as possible, and she is genuinely a delightful human (as is everyone on her team). To say she nailed the brief is a serious understatement.Most importantly, she helped us avoid the typical stress of wedding planning by leveraging our 18 months together to set expectations well ahead, help narrow decisions so we didn’t have to spend hours researching, phase different tasks in (instead of bundling them all 6 months out) as well as coordinating everything and handling all details in the lead up and on the day so that we could be as present as possible and actually ENJOY our wedding with our 130 guests, many of whom traveled from interstate and overseas.A lot of our friends and family were surprised at how relatively calm and unstressed we were in the weeks leading up to the wedding — all thanks to Sam.We strongly advise anyone planning a wedding to work with Sam and her incredibly talented team.

My wedding wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without Sam and her team. We did the full wedding planner package" and with 0 regrets... Sam has such great attention to detail

We recently had the pleasure of working with Sam as our wedding planner and we can say with complete confidence that she is truly amazing. From the moment we first spoke, Sam immediately put us at ease as we knew she understood the kind of day we were after and how to make it happen.What sets Sam apart from other wedding planners is her unwavering dedication and commitment to ensuring that every detail is perfect. Despite having to defer our wedding three times due to Covid, Sam never once lost sight of our vision and worked tirelessly to ensure that our day was as special as we had always dreamed it would be - made all the more difficult given we were living overseas.Throughout the planning process, Sam was always available to answer any questions we had and was a constant source of support and guidance. Her exceptional ability to simplify wedding-related jargon, adhere to our budget, and simultaneously ensure that the day is flawlessly executed is truly remarkable.On the day of the wedding, Sam's presence was a huge relief. She ensured that everything ran smoothly and that we were able to fully enjoy our special day without having to worry about a thing. From the flowers to the music to the seating arrangements, every detail was perfect.We cannot recommend Sam highly enough. Her professionalism, love of weddings, attention to detail and calming presence made our wedding day unforgettable.

Samantha Burke Events- the best wedding coordinator ever! Sam is so friendly, down to earth, super organised and easy to work with. She guided us through our wedding planning process with such professionalism and yet made our day so special and personal. Would recommend her to anyone in the search for a wedding coordinator. She made our wedding so much fun and I wasn’t stressed leading up to our wedding at all because I knew Sam had everything in order. She is truly amazing.

Samantha is the best! She really made our wedding day even more special.She catered to all our requests and got it all done so we had nothing to stress about and the result far exceeded what we could have done on our own! We personally believe she is capable of anything. Book her in!!

WOW, WOW, WOWWe don’t have enough words to describe how phenomenal Sam Burke is.From our very first meeting, Sam understood us, our vision and our budget. Sam is incredibly warm, professional and made the entire wedding planning process both seamless and fun. The end result was a wedding day beyond our wildest imagination.We picked a logistically challenging venue, and Sam didn’t miss a beat. Sam transformed our casual venue into a romantic, coastal dream-come-true and assembled an exceptional team of suppliers – from furniture, lighting, flowers, hair, make-up to band, caterer, photographer and celebrant!Sam ensured that both the planning process and the day itself felt effortless for us, so we could focus on making memories and having a ball. Put simply, Sam was our wedding angel and we cannot recommend her more highly.

Sam was an absolute lifesaver, helping me pull together our home wedding while I was pregnant. Through my bouts of morning sickness and baby brain, Sam was patient and full of amazing suggestions. She whipped all the vendours into shape and made sure that all the behind-the-scenes workings went off without a hitch...or without me having to answer a single question from anyone! ...which let me tell you, is worth its weight in gold on your wedding day.

Our on-the-day coordinator, Lizzie, was absolutely fantastic in the lead up to, and on the day of the wedding.Sam and Lizzie had so many great recommendations for vendors that suited our needs perfectly. Lizzie helped ensure everything was prepared for the day, and consolidated everything into a run sheet, which took so much stress and uncertainty off our plates.Having a coordinator present on the day really allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Especially with how organised, attentive, and professional Lizzie conducted herself.We would absolutely recommend.

Sam is your wedding fairy godmother!We used Samantha Burke Events for partial wedding planning where we found some of the vendors and then Sam worked with them to pull together the best day ever at Gunners Barracks.We felt like guests at our own party (no stress, just having fun!) and this is the best way to sum up why you should book her. Every time somebody asked me if I was stressed about my wedding, I could say an honest no!" because Sam took care of jobs like styling
