Q&A with Hosted: Expert Event Planner Melbourne Insights

As a wedding photographer, I can recognise the presence of a planner almost instantly. A well-managed timeline, a calm and cohesive atmosphere, and the freedom for moments to unfold naturally all contribute to a completely different experience. In this Q&A, meet Georgey of Hosted, a talented event professional who takes us behind the scenes of her creative process. She shares insight into the intention and care that goes into crafting a truly seamless wedding day.

 If you’re looking for an experienced event planner for weddings and celebrations in Melbourne and beyond, Georgey from Hosted has you covered. Based in Bendigo, she and her team work with couples across Australia, bringing their vision to life no matter the location. 

Here’s a glimpse of the 50th anniversary celebration of Harcourt Valley’s Barbra Shiraz, expertly coordinated and planned by Georgey.

Meet Georgey, Melbourne Event Planner and Founder of Hosted

“Hi! I’m Georgey. A creative. An organiser. A stylist. A fixer of problems. A workaholic. A wife. A mum. And the owner of Hosted. Hosted was born from years of working across so many different fields within the wedding industry. I have been a wedding singer, event planner, florist, and interior designer, and have worked in hospitality since I was 14. On a trip to Italy with my mum, I was feeling lost about what my next career move would be. I really wanted to create something of my own, and all signs pointed to this.”

What makes me Different from Other Wedding Planners?

Styling Meets Seamless Coordination

“I am not just about the pretty details (although I LOVE those too!) –Hosted cares about how the guests feel, how the event flows, how your guests’ champagne magically never seems to be empty, how the cake knife just happens to arrive before your cake cutting, and how your night runs seamlessly without you having to lift a finger. That’s the magic of Hosted.”

How far in advance should we book?

“We recommend getting in touch about a year before your wedding. This gives you plenty of time to secure your date with us and ensures we can plan everything exactly how you envision it. 

Brides benefit from our knowledge of local vendors, venues, and trends. Couples in other parts of Australia, including regional Victoria, can also rely on Hosted to provide seamless, professional support for their celebration.”

Hosted’s Wedding Services

“Our services include full event planning, styling, on-the-day coordination, and everything in between, covering all the details needed to make a wedding seamless and stress-free.”

Areas Served – Melbourne, Bendigo and Beyond

Local Expertise with National Flexibility

When asked which areas she services, Georgey says, “Sky’s the limit!” Although Hosted is based in Bendigo, she works with brides in Melbourne, across Victoria, and all over Australia. One of Georgey’s favourite weddings last year was in gorgeous Tasmania, showing that no matter where the celebration takes place, we will go the extra mile to make the day seamless and special.

Her dedication ensures that each celebration is not only beautifully organised but also uniquely memorable. I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to capture real weddings coordinated by Hosted, knowing the results will be both seamless and stunning.
