Fantastic experience: Kiani was the best wedding day coordinator and we’d highly recommend her.

From the minute Kiani arrived I knew she’d be all over everything and she truly was. She was so attentive and made sure everything was perfect so that I didn’t have to worry. No task was too big for Kiani- not to mention that she had a 5 week old baby at home whilst she was with me making sure my wedding was perfect. We will be forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: Our wedding was on the 3rd of July 2025, and I had booked Kiani 2 years out. From the moment I booked Kiani myself and my now husband met with her, and she was so understanding and instantly saw our vision. We had endless emails and so many meetings, where she would always clarify, offer advice and never made us feel like we were too much. She then offered to carry and pick up our cake, cookies and equipment and bring it over to Fitzroy Island, whilst all being pregnant. I cannot recommend Kiani enough, she is a wonder woman whose aim to ensure your day is perfect. Kiani was the most understanding, hardworking and commitment vendor we had, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: 10000% recommend!! I started planning my destination wedding not long after getting engaged and to say I was overwhelmed is an understatement!! No idea where to start and how soon I should be booking vendors, it got a little stressful. Thankfully after hiring "hire a bestie", Kiani took everything off my hands and had done all the corresponding for me with vendors so I was able to enjoy being engaged. Could not recommend hire a bestie enough. Do yourself a favour and hire a bestie!!!
