Weddings don’t just happen. Coordination is key! One of W Events Group's favourite venues to work with is the RACV Royal Pines Resort in Benowa, Gold Coast. Last week we shadowed the queen of the team: Chantel Bessell, Event Coordinator. There are so many styling possibilities at this resort which is surrounded by lush greenery and a serene 27-hole golf course. And we just love working alongside Chantel to bring an event to life. That's why we’re going to reveal how it feels to walk in her shoes. So without further...

Melbourne Cup. The race that stops the nation. Melbourne Cup florals. The style that creates buzz on the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast might be a long way from Melbourne, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t party in style as if we were right amongst the action. Countless events are held all around the Gold Coast on Melbourne Cup Day, from the sandy beaches, to the hinterland and many locals get frocked up to enjoy a day full of fun, food and drinks. The event has always had a focus on...

My eyes widen in awe as I step into the W Events headquarters for the first time. I’m here to discover what goes on behind the scenes of an event stylist. I look around and my jaw begins to drop; my heart swells and I let out a full deep breath. Ahh. My happy place. A true warehouse wonderland for any creative folk, stylist, designer or crafty artisan.

Welcome to W Events Group! Formally known as Wishes Events, we recently rebranded to become W Events Group. It was a bold move to rebrand, as the concern was to some extent, that the identity of the business we have grown over the last few years would be lost. Wishes Events had a strong name in the wedding industry but the tone of the brand didn't deliver the message in the corporate sector. We wanted to show our clients in both the corporate and wedding sectors that we are able to deliver different aspects...
