The Top 8 Celebration of Life Planning Elements

A question I often receive when families first get in touch with me is “What can you help me with”?

I explain that my role is a blend of what you'd expect from an event planner yet thoughtfully refined for the tone of a celebration of life. I offer support with memorial-specific elements that make the gathering truly meaningful.

🤍 Venue Selection: Assisting in finding the right space for your gathering, a place that feels like your loved one, ensuring the right tone and atmosphere for the day.

💛 Design & Styling: Providing creative concepts, design, and on-site styling to create a warm environment with bespoke selections that evoke the memory of your loved one. ​From subtle and understated touches to decor that is impactful and layered with depth.

🤍 Audio-Visual Services: Coordinating with trusted partners to provide projectors, tv screens, sound systems, microphones, technicians, recordings, and livestream options. Providing stress-free technical components.

💛 Customized Menus & Beverages: Arranging for a variety of options such as reception-style menus, seated meals, custom beverages, and incorporating your loved one’s favourites to personalize the experience.

🤍 Memory Table Design: Designing memory tables using in-house candles, linens, and decor paired with your special items and memorabilia, creating a heartfelt tribute. ​

💛 Photo Slideshows: Connecting you to professional photo slideshow providers. From simple slideshows to premium tributes with family interviews, you may customize your order by integrating video clips, embedding select music and having a photo book companion printed.

🤍 Floral Arrangements: Uniquely curated pieces with local, sustainable florists Hunt & Gather. Providing inspiration and colour palette from small arrangements to stunning floral installations. ​

💛 Celebrant Services: Pairing you with skilled and compassionate ceremony celebrants to lead the service in a manner that honours your loved one’s life and helps you tell their story. ​
