“I don’t know where to begin to describe how incredible Nat was when planning our Elopement, words truly cannot describe how grateful we are for her! Firstly, there are a lot of wedding planners in QLD that are great, but what you won’t find in those are a “Nat!”
I started off as many brides do, asking the question, “where do I start?” I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.
From our first initial phone consult to the final moments of our special day, Nat made us feel truly connected and taken care of, she is friendly, bubbly and PASSIONATE. She immediately jumped right in and took everything off my hands. All those wedding fears and stress were lifted off me. She ensured we had everything we needed, always making sure we felt comfortable and stress-free. Her attention to detail and dedication were evident in every interaction, keeping in touch and making us feel supported every step of the way. She truly understood our vision and needs, bringing them to life in the most seamless way. It was everything I had envisioned for my day and more! Nat is able to listen to your vision and bring it to life in ways that will exceed all your expectations. She puts her heart and soul into making sure your wedding day is everything you’ve dreamed of.
Our wedding day went so smoothly for my husband and I because we didn’t have to worry about the details! We were able to enjoy every single moment and soak it all in with our families and loved ones because Nat and her team were working on all the details around us!
Nat is such a beautiful and giving person at heart, simply amazing. We received so many compliments from our family about how heartfelt and genuine Nat is! We are so grateful we found her! If you are considering hiring a planner for your special day, Nat is the best in the industry hands down.
Thank you so much for our beautiful day!”

“Omg where to start! Natalie Arnold is just the most beautiful, down to earth and kind person you will ever meet, she is sunshine in human form and goes above and beyond in her job. If you ever get to meet Nat you will see that she has the twinkle in her eye for how much she loves what she does. Nat also has the most infectious smile you will ever see too. I stumbled across Nat on google and watched a snippet of a wedding ceremony she conducted, and I knew straight away from that moment that she was the celebrant we wanted for our wedding. I was so thrilled when she responded to my enquiry that our wedding day was available with her. From our first phone call she had that 'genuinely cares' vibe and wanted nothing but the best for you.
I've never met anyone like her and honestly the world needs more Natalie Arnolds in it. Through our whole wedding journey Nat provided such professional support, she was across everything and every detail. We absolutely adored Nat as our celebrant and will be forever grateful for her and the amazing job she did. Thank you Nat”.

“I truly don’t have words to express how grateful we are for Natalie. Natalie was our wedding coordinator, at our small wedding held at Casa Campana.
Not only was she incredibly helpful and responsive in the lead up to our big day, bending over backwards to make things happen for us - but on the day, she was kind, authentic, and brought a sense of calmness that settled any pre-wedding jitters that were present.
Natalie well and truly went above and beyond to make sure it really was the best day of our lives - and it was.
The way Natalie carries herself and cares for each couple she works with, and the service she provides, is unmatched. We felt so supported throughout the entire process!
You truly will not find a better service/person/wedding coordinator out there! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Natalie x”

“EVERYONE NEEDS A NAT!! Nat and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding our absolute dream day.
From the minute i emailed my enquiry, Nat was calm and professional in all interactions. For a couple that is super unorganised she stuck with us and made sure our day was complete perfection!
We were luckily enough to have her as our wedding planner and celebrant, we are so happy we found Under the Arbour.
If you are planing a wedding I 100000000% recommend”.

“Natalie was an absolute dream to work with! Natalie was our wedding planner and celebrant, and did both beautifully. She was so incredibly hardworking, so kind and patient, so knowledgeable and experienced. We simply could not have done this without her support!
She was always in our corner and saved us so much time and money on mistakes we may have made had we not had her input and support. She was always available to us in the year leading into our day and there was no question or request too small.
She handled everything with excitement, joy, and professionalism. It was an absolute pleasure to get to spend our day with her also, and I did not have to worry about a single thing on the day.
Thank you Nat! We are forever grateful to you for bringing our wedding dream to life!”

“Nat is one-of-a-kind. I was ecstatic when she confirmed she could coordinate our wedding day (seriously - I jumped up and down in a shopping centre).
There’s no one like her in the business… she made our day run seamlessly, laughed and cried alongside us, cheered us on, sliced our wedding cake, lit our candles, united our vendors (whilst encouraging the newbies), and legally tied the knot for us! She is a superstar. Nat - we love you, and believe there is so much creative goodness ahead for you. Keep running your race. You’re doing an extraordinary job”.

“We had the pleasure of working with Nat for our wedding at the start of this year, and we can confidently say she is a true gem in the world of wedding coordination and celebrancy.
Nat's genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple made the planning process feel like an enjoyable conversation rather than a daunting task.
What amazed us the most was that with Nat at the helm, we hardly had to lift a finger throughout the entire planning process. She took care of every detail, from recommending vendors that aligned with our style and budget to coordinating logistics and timelines flawlessly.
Whenever we were asked about our wedding details our response was always “Nat has it sorted” and had full trust that she knew best.
Even when the unexpected heavy storms and flooding came to the Gold Coast on wedding week, Nat remained calm and composed, assuring us that everything would still go according to plan. Her ability to adapt quickly and find solutions ensured that our day ran smoothly without a hitch.
On the day of the wedding, Nat ensured that every aspect of the event unfolded seamlessly. From the setup of the ceremony space to the coordination of vendors and keeping everything on schedule, she was a true professional in every sense of the word.
Thanks to Nat's expertise and dedication, we were able to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the joy of our wedding day, knowing that everything was in capable hands.
We spent the coming weeks with guests and family raving about how wonderful of a person she was and how well she put everything together, taking note for their own weddings in future.
We cannot recommend Nat highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding coordinator/celebrant who not only excels at her craft but also cares deeply about making your special day truly unforgettable”.

“Nat, so much heartfelt gratitude. I entirely underestimated the role a celebrant would have on our ceremony and am so glad you were the person to share our story and curate the space for us vow our love for one another.
You are an incredible celebrant, wedding planner and just all round beautiful human. You put together the perfect team and our day wouldn’t have been the same without you.
Thank you for all your generosity, genuine investment and all the magic you brought to our day. So much love!”

“Words can not express how amazing Natalie is!
Everything from the preparation phase to the “I do” was so easy with Natalie.
She made both my wife and I feel so comfortable and relaxed. She was there every step of the way.
In my humble opinion a cooler more passionate and amazing celebrant does not exist.
To sum up our experience:
We started with an incredible celebrant we finished with the perfect wedding and a new wonderful, fun, and caring best friend.
Keep up the amazing work!”

“We feel incredibly fortunate to have discovered Natalie as our wedding planner and coordinator. Natalie has the most welcoming and kind-hearted personality and smile. She took it upon herself to ensure our chosen vendors were a perfect fit for our special day, going the extra mile to make everything just right.
Prior to meeting Natalie, I had reservations about the entire wedding process, but she made it a seamless and stress-free journey. Our wedding day was nothing short of perfection, thanks to her hard work and passion.
Natalie, we are deeply thankful for having you as our wedding planner!”
Sian and Xavier
Sunshine Coast, Sept 2023, Wedding planner.
“Natalie's expertise and meticulous attention to detail shone through every aspect of our special day.
She seamlessly coordinated vendors and ensured a flawless timeline, making her an exceptional wedding planner and on-day coordinator.
Her calm and reassuring presence kept us at ease throughout the event, while her expertise in managing vendors across two different locations was invaluable.
She made our day stress-free and seamless. If you're seeking someone to make your wedding unforgettable, look no further than Natalie.
She played a pivotal role in making our big day absolutely perfect!”
Claire and Chris

“Nat was an incredible celebrant that wrote the most beautiful service for my now husband and I.
It was fun, personal, comfortable and highlighted Nat's ability to understand and appreciate certain requests we had and who we are as a couple.
Since our wedding, multiple guests have commented on how the ceremony was their favourite part because Nat did an amazing job at creating something that was reflective of Chris and I.
We highly recommend Nat.”
Kate and Justyn
Rosewood Estate, Sept 2023, On the day coordination.
“We had the pleasure of having Nat on board as coordinator for our Rosewood estate wedding last week.
From the get go Nat was organised, efficient and such a pleasure to work with. She put our minds at ease and made sure the process leading up to the wedding was stress free.
Nat’s communication was excellent and clear which was so helpful on our busy wedding day. As soon as we met Nat in person we felt as though we had known her for years and she quickly felt like a close friend at our wedding.
We had so many positive remarks regarding her coordination and energy that she brought to our day.
Nat is the best in the business and we would highly recommend her services to anyone getting married.
Thanks a million Nat!”

Casa Campana, Aug 2023, Wedding planning and Celebrant services.
“We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant and wedding planner for our elopement at Casa Campana in New South Wales! Nat made the whole process so smooth and easy in the lead up and guided us every step of the way.
On our wedding day, everything went exactly as planned and neither of us felt stressed in the slightest. Nat put us both at ease and made sure we had nothing to worry about.
We can't speak highly enough of how pleased we were with everything and have absolutely no hesitation recommending Under the Arbour to anyone.
Thank you again Nat, you were a fresh of breath air to work with and we wish we could do it all over again.”
Meggen and Michael
Greendays Restaurant and Bar, Aug 2023, On the day coordination.
“TYPE-A BRIDE HERE! I hired Natalie to do on the day co-ordination for our wedding. Armed with a binder of requirements I approached her (highly stressed I’d say haha) and after our initial consultation her warm nature and calming reassurance allowed me to immediately trust her with this incredibly special day we’d planned.
On the day (and the week before), she went above and beyond what we dreamt up. Everything was executed to perfection. Her attention to detail is second to none! She organised our guests respectfully and fiercely. A key moment I’ll never forget is how safe she made me feel when I was standing outside waiting to walk down the aisle alone.
My husband and I couldn’t imagine the day without her and our guests were so charmed by her. Thank you Natalie!”

“We booked Nat from Under the Arbour for a recent wedding.
Nat made our day extra special and personalised our ceremony wonderfully. Her ceremony speech was sweet, kind and funny. She was very attentive and made every effort to get to know my partner and I prior to the day.
We chose her celebrate package which included her celebrant services, ceremony photography, ceremony styling and wedding day coordination. She made the day easy and stress free.
The ceremony styling was perfect!
We cannot recommend Nat enough. If you want a fantastic celebrant then you really should consider Nat from Under the Arbour!”
Summer and Jonah
Beechmont Estate, Sept 2022, Celebrant services.
“Nat is so gorgeous! It took me years to find a celebrant I was completely happy with. I was so happy when we stumbled across Nat. She is a little pocket rocket.
Nat is super bubbly, smiley, with warm and welcoming energy. She was the perfect celebrant to completely guide us through our custom ceremony and vows as well.
We had such a great experience with Nat. She is a gorgeous person and very caring to work with. She made the whole process enjoyable and easy, and our vows and sentimental things came out better than we could ever have hoped for. Nat was an amazing help when it came to our personalised vows and she was so supportive on the special day for us!
Thank you so much Nat for being a part of our magical weekend!! Lock her in for sure!”
Wanda and Chris
The Overflow Estate 1895, Sept 2021, Celebrant services.
“If I could describe the perfect celebrant, it would be Natalie! From the very beginning, she has put so much thought and consideration into our ceremony and she has delivered a beautifully worded speech- sharing stories about how we met, our qualities, our values and what makes us a good couple.
There were quite a few tears from our guests! Natalie is an amazing communicator. She is warm, empathetic and incredibly intuitive. We felt at easy with Natalie right away.
She has been incredibly accommodating and has put our minds at ease throughout the whole process, we knew we were in great hands!
We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and she truly made our big day very special. We highly recommend Natalie as a celebrant!”
