About us ..
Oh hello, and welcome!
First off, a heartfelt congratulations on your engagement! This is such a special time in your life, and we’re here to help make it as stress-free, and memorable as possible. At Forethought Weddings, we are dedicated to guiding you through every step of your journey, ensuring that your wedding planning experience is seamless and enjoyable.
I’m Samantha, the proud owner of Forethought Weddings—and yes, that's me, this was snapped just before guest arrival! Let me share a little about my story: I founded Forethought Weddings in 2016, after a rich career that included roles in business management in Sydney managing large teams, local government focusing on community development, managing a winery in Rutherglen, and working in/managing various hospitality/wedding venues. These roles sparked my passion for event planning, and after a heartfelt conversation with a couple (I’ll forever be grateful to them), I took the leap into the wedding industry.
What started as a dream has grown into a flourishing business, and I am truly honoured to have helped hundreds of couples create unforgettable wedding experiences—many of whom I still stay in touch with today.
Our team at Forethought Weddings is made up of incredible individuals, including past brides and grooms who are now essential members of our crew. Whether it's helping with setups, bar management, or coordination, we all work together to ensure every detail is handled with care. And yes, you’ll often see my family members lending a hand too, because we’re a tight-knit team committed to making your day absolutely spectacular.
When it comes to vendors, I’ve built a trusted network of professionals who feel more like family. Over the years, I’ve cultivated relationships with talented vendors, and I’m always excited to collaborate with fresh faces in new locations and unique private venues. My goal is to assemble the perfect team for your day, ensuring smooth coordination and a shared vision for your celebration.
I’d love to chat with you and hear all about your vision for your wedding day. Together, we’ll bring it to life with our meticulous attention to detail, expert management, and heartfelt passion for creating beautiful, lasting memories.
Looking forward to connecting soon!
