Need a Wedding Planner in Sydney? Meet First Sunday Events

So when couples ask us, "Do you know a good wedding planner in Sydney?" — we want to give them a real answer, not point them at a Google search.

Now we have one: First Sunday Events.

We recently connected with Christine and the First Sunday team, and we're excited to call them a Dance More partner. Here's who they are, why we recommend them, and what it means for your wedding.

Who Is First Sunday Events?

First Sunday Events is a Sydney-based wedding planning and styling studio working out of George Street in the CBD. They cover three things most couples underestimate:

• Planning — vendors, timelines, budgets. The 200+ hours of logistics behind a wedding day that looks effortless.
• Styling — florals, stationery, custom builds. The look and feel that makes your day unmistakably yours.
• Coordination — running the actual day, so you're not the one fielding questions while you're trying to enjoy your own wedding.

Their work has been featured in Vogue, Hello May, and Wedding Wonderland. As they put it: "we don't just plan and style weddings, we craft your defining moments."

Why We Recommend Them

We don't hand out partnerships easily. Before we point our couples toward anyone, we look for the same things we ask of ourselves:

• They listen first, design second — same as how we build your first dance routine around you, not a template.
• They understand culture and tradition — Sydney weddings often blend backgrounds, families, and expectations, and First Sunday gets that.
• They're upfront about pricing — no surprises halfway through planning.

If your wedding is still missing a planner — or you just want a second opinion on your current plan — Christine and the First Sunday team are worth a conversation. You can find their portfolio and details at firstsunday.com.au or on Instagram @firstsundayevents.

Where Your First Dance Fits Into the Plan

Most couples leave the first dance until last. We get it — there's a hundred other things to lock in first.

But your first dance is one of the few moments at your wedding where every single guest is watching only you. It deserves more than a panic-practice the week before.

If First Sunday is planning your day, this is the perfect time to lock in your dance lessons too. We recommend starting 8–12 weeks out — enough time to feel ready, not rushed. Curious how many lessons you actually need? We broke it down here.

How First Dance Lessons Work at Dance More

Quick version: we teach you to dance like it's yours — not a memorised routine you're scared to forget.

We start by understanding how you learn — visually, by listening, or by feeling the movement. Then we build your routine around that. The lead learns to lead calmly, without overthinking. The follow learns to actually feel the dance, not count steps in their head.

And from lesson one, we have you perform — for other students, teachers, small groups. By your wedding day, you've already done the "scary" part a dozen times. What's left is just two people who know how to move together. Confidently.

Want to see your style options first? We teach wedding dance choreography, salsa, bachata, zouk, and ballroom — all under one roof at Alma Studios.
