About Us!
Hire a Bridesmaid was born from trust and friendship, and we take our job as “your professional bestie” verrrrrrrry seriously.
Just like your bestie, we promise to look out for you, tell you how it is, be there for you, put you first, hold your dress while you pee and hold your hair if you…..you know…
Unlike your bestie however, we will not eat from your plate, use your deodorant without asking, or yell embarrassing things out in public.

Perfect service. Everything any bride could wish for 👌🌟✨
September 2, 2018 - Kirstin Beveridge As a wedding supplier (band), we found Kerstyn to be an amazing coordinator/MC. She's organised, professional, bubbly, bright and full of sunshine! We had a great time working with her and can't wait to do it again.
March 31, 2019 - Delyse Edwards I had the pleasure of working with this ‘bundle of energy’ recently at a wedding in Camden. Kerstyn is a beautiful person who is totally committed to her couples. She has a wealth of experience, and she was extremely well prepared with a bottomless bag of bits and pieces (like Mary Poppins) ready to deal with any request or tackle anything that popped up. With a quick wit, an easy smile and an infectious laugh, she made the day thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend Kerstyn to brides and grooms who are wise enough to ask for assistance when planning their wedding day. But wait ... there’s more! Kerstyn is not only a wedding planner and an experienced MC ... she is also a marriage celebrant! She can help you with the legal aspects of your wedding and all the fun stuff too! What a gal
April 20, 2021 - Athina Krol Honestly Alana from Hire a Bridesmaid was phenomenal, she made the day SO easy and stress free! From ensuring my husband and I were hydrated, running to get us canapes, helping set up, pack down and communicating with vendors, we were SO grateful to have her there!
January 25, 2023 - Kirsten Culbert Kerstyn was amazing to work with for our wedding day ! She has an amazing energy and passion for what she does and I was so grateful to have found her. She did all the behind the scenes things and took all the stress away from the day! Kerstyn and her team are well organised, highly recommended ❤️
February 25, 2019 - Matt Last Kerstyn was nothing short of amazing in everything she did for our wedding - planning, coordination, MC of the ceremony, everything. She was our professional bestie! After we were engaged, we had no hesitation in contacting Kerstyn to help us plan our big day. She helped us with everything we could think of - timings for our run sheet (down to the minute!) recommending all our vendors, being extremely flexible with a multitude of changes that happened on the day, and even little things like ensuring our guests had water at the outdoor ceremony. Kerstyn was amazing at coordinating every part of our special day, all done with a smile on her face. We can’t thank Kerstyn enough for everything and highly recommend her for your special day.
