Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Port Stephens area. Business can be relocated.
Potential
The business has been intentionally operated on a part-time, lifestyle basis, with the owner working approximately one-third of the year. Despite this, demand consistently exceeds capacity, with the owner accepting only around 25% of incoming enquiries.
Strong brand recognition, an exceptional reputation within the wedding industry, and preferred supplier relationships with a large number of prominent venues across the region. Integrated online hire cart enabling clients to self-select items and submit enquiries.
Skills
Systems and processes are well established and easily transferable. No wedding fairs – website alone generates more leads than can be serviced. New owner can expand on just hire, styling or florals wherever their skill base lands.
Hours
Friday and Mondays are main days of labour during wedding months. Deliveries and pickups done on these days.
Lease
Operations are run from a home-based shed but previously was run out of a storage unit.
Employees
The business is currently operated solely by the owner but enough leads available to expand work load for a duo or a small team if buyer chooses to do so.
Reason for Sale
The business has successfully supported the owner while raising young children. With the children now older and a change in family circumstances, the business hours no longer align with family commitments. This is a genuine sale of a thriving business, not a distressed one.

History
After the birth of my first child, it became clear that returning to a corporate role with long and inflexible hours was not sustainable. I identified an opportunity to create a business that offered both flexibility and strong growth potential. Having recently planned my own wedding, I recognised a gap in the wedding and events market and established the business from the ground up to meet this demand in 2019.
