A focused 90-minute wedding planning session to work through your priorities, biggest decisions and anything you may have missed.Â
Ongoing wedding planning support across Australia whenever you need it. Book as you go to talk through new decisions, review your timeline and keep your plans moving forward.
Need more than coaching? Run sheet creation, rehearsal support and limited on-the-day wedding coordination are available as optional extras.
What is Wedding Planning Coaching?
Wedding coaching bridges the gap between planning your own wedding and hiring a full-service wedding planner.
​
Most couples don't actually need someone to take over their wedding.
They simply need experienced wedding planning support to help them make sense of it all.
​
As your wedding coach, I'll help you cut through the noise, make confident decisions, create a realistic plan, and make sure you don't miss the important things.
​
You stay in control of your wedding; I'm simply there to guide and support you along the way.
​
What makes Alongside Joy different is the combination of experience I bring.
As a qualified counsellor and experienced event manager, I help with both the practical side of wedding planning and the people side of wedding planning. Because sometimes the hardest part isn't creating the timeline; it's navigating family expectations, making decisions together, and knowing what really matters to you as a couple.

Less Overwhelm.

Real Couples. Real Weddings.
Andy & Siarrah
"From the moment we started our coaching sessions, Cass helped us understand what was involved and gave us an easy-to-follow plan. We didn't realise how many small details went into planning a wedding, but she made sure nothing was missed."
Gabes & Ebony
 "Cass gave us peace of mind. Knowing she was there to guide things, adapt when needed, and keep everything moving meant we could truly enjoy the process of wedding planning and when it came to the day we could celebrate with our family and friends. We couldn't recommend her more highly."
Thomas & Jamie-Lee
"At such a stressful time, Cass helped us stay calm, gave us a clear plan, and helped us create the wedding we wanted. We were able to enjoy our day knowing everything had been thought through."
Meet Your Wedding Coach
​
Hi, I'm Cass!
I'm a qualified counsellor, experienced event manager, wife and mum of four. Over the past 18 years I've planned and managed weddings, conferences, church events, fundraisers, corporate events and private functions.
​
What I've discovered is that most couples don't need someone to take over their wedding. They simply need someone experienced in their corner to help them make sense of it all.
​
That's why I started Alongside Joy.
​
My goal is simple: to help you feel less overwhelmed, more organised, and genuinely excited about planning your wedding, so you can enjoy this season together—not just the wedding day itself.
Planning Your Own Wedding?
Â
Most couples planning their own wedding don't need someone to take over. They just need help making sense of all the moving pieces.
​
Maybe organisation isn't your strength.
Maybe you're time-poor.
Maybe your venue will manage the day itself, but you're realising there is still a lot to sort out beforehand.
Â
Or maybe you've barely been to a wedding and genuinely don't know what you're supposed to be planning (more common than you realise!)
​
Sometimes the hardest part is simply knowing what you've missed, what matters most, and what actually needs your attention next.
​
That's where wedding coaching can help. We give you clarity, direction and someone experienced in your corner so you can keep moving forward without carrying all the stress yourselves.
