THE MODERN PROBLEM WITH TRADITIONAL WEDDINGS

Most couples don’t realise just how much time, money, and energy a traditional wedding demands, until they’re already too deep. You’re left overwhelmed, stressed and tired long before the day arrives. On average, this is what you’ll experience:

a MODERN ROMANCE was created to change that. We remove the stress entirely, delivering a fully-designed, professionally-coordinated experience with 95% less time spent planning, no unexpected costs, and a wedding that looks and feels extraordinary from the moment you arrive. All at a fraction of the cost of doing it yourself.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

We understand this is a very different way to plan a wedding, so we’ve provided answers to the questions couples ask most. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, simply book a call with us or send us a message below. We’re always happy to talk through everything in detail.

Can I invite more than 25 people?

Yes, you can invite up to 40 guests (for an additional fee). We’ll organise the seating, styling, and invitations so everything remains cohesive with your chosen style.

What is included for food and beverages?

All weddings with A Modern Romance include a beautifully curated dining experience paired with your chosen aesthetic. Your reception dining comes from one of our exclusive partner restaurants and bars — each offering a modern, seasonal set menu.

An example of what you can expect:

Ceremony:
• Signature cocktail on arrival
• Champagne toast after the ceremony
‍
‍Food (sample):
• 2 canapés on arrival
• 2 shared mains
• 2 seasonal sides
• Two-dessert alternate drop
‍
‍Beverages (sample):
• 2 beer choices
• 6 wines from the venue’s curated list
• Non-alcoholic options
• House spirits

Menus vary slightly by reception location, and once you’ve chosen yours, we’ll share the exact food and drinks list so you know precisely what’s included.

What are the venues

Each aesthetic is paired with a private property chosen specifically for the look, light, and atmosphere of that style.
‍
These aren’t public venues or commercial wedding spaces. They’re private, design-forward locations that create the exact mood of the aesthetic. To protect the privacy of the properties, we don’t publicly share the addresses.
‍
However, once you reserve your date and timeslot, we share the location details, photos, and access plan with you.

What we can reassure you is:
• Every property is visually stunning
• Each location is hand-picked to match the style’s design direction
• They are weather-friendly with backup options
• They comfortably fit your full 40-person wedding

You’re welcome to ask questions during your consultation call, and we can share images and further details there.

How many hours do we get for the wedding?

Each wedding is designed as a beautifully-timed experience. You’ll have 1.5 hours to enjoy your ceremony and photography. 0.5 hours to travel to the reception and then you have another 2.5 - 3 hours for the dining reception.

What can we customise?

You can customise the things that matter: your bouquet,  your makeup and hair, your vows , your wording and music for the ceremony and your invitations. These are the elements that personalise your ceremony.

How does the process work?

Choose your preferred style and submit an enquiry. We then finalise guest numbers and personal touches during a call. Then, once you've signed the agreement and pay a 10% deposit to secure your date, we communicate the wedding details to your guests, starting with the "Save the date" invitations. Three months before the wedding, we will begin consultations for your bouquet, hair and makeup, and your ceremony wording (if you have a preference for these elements).

What if we don’t know our final guest list yet?

That’s completely normal. We just need estimated numbers to start. Final names and email addresses are only required closer to your date for invitations.

What if we’re not in Byron Bay?

Many couples plan from interstate. Everything is organised for you, and we provide a seamless digital planning experience. You only need to show up on the day.

How do I know what exactly is included?

All design decisions will be shared with you throughout the journey. This includes the venue, the styling choices of flowers, colours, set up. We will provide you with the details once you book in a consultation with us.
