Chelsea thrives on the excitement of event days and loves being part of the magic that happens behind the scenes. When she’s not busy bringing events to life, you’ll likely find Chelsea enjoying a Pilates session, going on walks with friends and grabbing a good coffee, or spending quality time with her fur baby, Sasha, who undoubtedly rules the household!

Bonnie McIver

Venue Manager, Wedding Planner & Stylist

With years of experience in the events industry, Bonnie brings plenty of knowledge, creativity and passion to her role as Venue & Event Manager and Wedding Planner.

With a degree in Event Management from Torrens University and a Diploma in Graphic Design, she brings a creative eye and attention to detail to every event. Outside of work, Bonnie is a little (okay, a lot!) obsessed with the Parramatta Eels and loves getting out on the soccer field, where her team took out the Grand Final in 2026, proving she's just as dedicated to kicking goals on the field as she is to delivering unforgettable events!

 

Liv Melvey

Administration Manager & Event Coordinator

Since joining the team in early 2024, Liv has become our wonderful office all rounder, keeping everything running smoothly and always helping out wherever needed. She loves being part of the weddings, but public events are definitely her thing, and you’ll find her at pretty much every one! She’s always up for a challenge and brings a calm, easy going vibe, even on the busiest days. Outside of work, she's happiest soaking up the sun at the beach, spending time with her pet turtle, Donte, or jetting off to Fiji, her second home. With her relaxed nature and willingness to jump into just about anything, Liv is always ready for the next adventure!
