// CELEBRATE CONSCIOUSLY
Embark on your destination wedding planning experience with open minds and open hearts. There’s magic in the unexpected.
// Let's seek it out together
the journey starts here
Choosing to have a destination wedding means creating a joyful celebration that’s free of ‘shoulds’ and ‘ought tos’ and is completely on your own terms. At Dandelion Celebrations, I invite you to head off the well-travelled path, finding jewel-like locations across the globe that are full of incredible histories and stunning vistas.
Your destination wedding allows you the chance to slow down. Take precious time to be in a new place with the people you love, soaking in the atmosphere. Building memories through authentic experiences is a beautiful way to celebrate, and it’s a chance to layer your own love story into the fabric of whatever corner of the world you’ve chosen to celebrate in. With me here to guide you every step of the way, together we’ll plan a meaningful adventure that’s worthy of your wildest dreams.
Destination weddings and elopements that embrace the uncharted.

Why choose
Selecting the right wedding planner to accompany you on your destination wedding journey is a hugely important decision. There are lots of us out there in the big wide world of weddings, after all, and you need to make sure you feel the all-important click of connection with the person you choose. Here is a flavour of what you can expect when working together with me...
01.
Slow travel
I’m all about planning with purpose and making intentional choices. This is travel in a different way, stepping away from our usual fast-paced lives of work and deadlines, and allowing a place to softly and gently get under your skin. No rush. No stress. Not always the easy route, but the most mindful, meaningful and magical.
02.
Unexpected locations
Put down the glossy guidebook and dream a little bigger. Seeking hidden gem locations across the world is my particular speciality. Let’s find you a place that sparks in your soul – somewhere that pulses with local colour and warmth, and that has stories waiting to interlace with yours.
03.
Respect for people & places
Travel in all its forms is a privilege, and I want to ensure that I’m being considerate and respectful in as many ways as possible as we build your incredible trip. I’m always tuning in to local knowledge and guides on the ground in the venues, cities, and wild natural places we choose to go, to make sure our presence is a welcome one.
04.
Planning with a conscience
Whether an intensely beautiful elopement or a large-scale extravaganza of a wedding experience, I approach the planning with the planet in mind. We’re looking for maximum memories with minimal environmental impact here.
05.
Style and substance
The details are what elevate a wedding from ‘gorgeous’ to ‘spectacular and unforgettable’. I love beautiful things, but I believe they have to earn their place in your special day by being meaningful as well. Every element of your visual styling – from the flowers to the place settings, to the lighting and food – should complement your style as a couple, and crucially reflect the place we’ve chosen to celebrate in a way that’s authentic and sincere.
Stephanie & David
Monica’s presence on the day meant we could soak up and enjoy our wedding with our guests knowing that things were in hand by someone who had our best interests in mind.
Andrew & Leilani
If you're looking for the someone to make your dreams come true with detailed planning and coordination for your special day, then absolutely look no further than Monica.
Heather & Sean
We would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Monica, for all of your efforts to create an amazing ceremony and experience for all in attendance.
Tom & Nadia
Monica helped us create the most incredible wedding. When we looked for a planner for our wedding in Italy, she said she would make sure that the wedding was right for us.
Koorosh & Kate
Monica was in touch with us every step of the way, carefully considered all aspects of the wedding, and worked hard to ensure that everything was in line with our vision.
Cameron & Russ
Our Friends and family are still talking about what an epic time they had. Monica was organised, stayed on budget, and found amazing venues for us to choose from.
Ray & Raj
The day was perfect! And I can't tell you how much we appreciated your help in the lead up to the day. Without you, everything we experienced wouldn't have happened.
Meet Monica
Ciao! I’m your friendly story-obsessed, world-wandering wedding planner, and I can’t wait to get to know you.
