I’m Kiri, the proud owner of Darling Don’t Panic, a certified Wedding Planner & someone who has spent the past 25 years bringing beautiful celebrations to life across Australia.
And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt in all those years, it’s that weddings are about so much more than pretty flowers, beautiful tablescapes & perfectly timed entrances. They’re about people, emotions, meaningful moments & creating memories you’ll treasure long after the last glass of champagne has been poured.
I’ve spent my career planning weddings & events, navigating the unexpected, managing a thousand moving parts & making sure that, behind the scenes, everything comes together beautifully. I know when to take charge, when to listen, when to offer a little reassurance & when a good laugh (or a glass of bubbles!) is exactly what’s needed.
But what matters most to me? That you feel heard, supported & genuinely excited about your wedding.
I believe wedding planning should be a wonderful experience, not another full-time job on your already busy schedule. You deserve to enjoy the celebrations, soak up every moment & trust that someone who truly cares has all the details covered.
I’ll bring the experience, the organisation, the calm head & just the right amount of sass. You bring your love story, your personalities & your big ideas. Together, we’ll create something that feels completely, wonderfully you.
And when things feel a little overwhelming? Well, you know what I’m going to say…
Darling, don’t panic. I’ve got you.
With love,
That’s what past couples have told us. Trusted by over 500 couples just like you.
Hey Kiri,
I just wanted to send a thank you for everything on the wedding day! We had the best day and felt nothing went wrong and there wasn't anything we would change and I appreciate there was a lot you did in the background so thank you!
Regards,
Caitlin
Hi Kiri
I wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did yesterday and in the lead up to the wedding. You have such a wonderful calming presence and we appreciate everything you did yesterday to make the day run so smoothly.
Justin and I had the best night, and so did our guests from the sounds of it!
Thanks again,
Lizzie
Hi Kiri,
Thank you so much for your help with it all! The regular wedding stress was 10 fold with covid and cancellations etc etc! I'm not going to say it wasnt stressful, but your help definitely made the impossible possible!
The Ceilidh was definitely our favourite part of the night, which again, simply wouldn't have happened without your help! And we both agree with your comments about the rest of the crew, just looking forward to getting the photos and videos back!
Thank you again for all of your help, it really did make the world of difference for us, there were so many things that we would have just not included because we didnt have the time, which now that we have had the night, it would have really been awful to have had to cull things for that reason.
In the end, except for the guest list, we got to have our perfect wedding, and organised it in 6 weeks!
