About Feel Good Events
For nearly 20 years, Feel Good Events has been helping people celebrate life’s biggest moments across Melbourne. Our story is one of continual learning, from decorating events to understanding what really makes them successful.
Why We Started, and Why It Still Matters
Feel Good Events began with a simple but frustrating realisation. We kept seeing weddings that looked beautiful, parties with incredible styling, and corporate events that had obviously taken months to organise, yet the overall result still wasn’t what the host had hoped for.
That led to the question that still drives everything we do today.
“Why do some events achieve the result people are hoping for, while others don’t?”
At first, we thought the answer was better decorating. But after thousands of weddings, parties and corporate events, we realised styling was only one piece of the puzzle. The biggest difference was usually the decisions being made before the event, from the venue layout and entertainment through to lighting, timing and styling, and how all those decisions worked together.
Like many small decorating businesses, we started with a van full of decorations and a determination to do things differently. Over time, we built one of Melbourne’s largest event hire inventories, expanded into styling, planning and event assessment services, and developed what is now known as the Feel Good Formula. This is a philosophy shaped by more than 30 years of industry experience and insights gained from thousands of events.
What’s never changed is our mission, to help people create weddings and events that achieve the result they’re hoping for. Not by following trends or simply adding more decorations, but by helping clients make better event decisions about the things that matter most.
Today, we’re proud to have helped thousands of couples, party hosts and businesses across Melbourne create weddings and events they’re genuinely proud of, and we’re still learning something new from every event we help create.
What We’ve Learned
- Great styling is important, but it doesn’t determine the success of an event on its own.
Beautiful styling can create a strong first impression, but it’s only one of many decisions that influence the overall result.
- The best events & weddings are usually the result of many good decisions working together.
It’s rarely one big decision that makes the difference. More often, it’s lots of smaller decisions supporting the same outcome.
- Experience comes from recognising patterns, not just counting years.
After thousands of weddings, parties and corporate events, we’ve learned to recognise the decisions that consistently help, and the ones that often work against the result people are thinking of.
- Every event is different, so the advice should be too.
Rather than following a standard formula, we look at each event individually and recommend what is most likely to work for that particular situation.
- Helping clients make confident decisions is where we create the most value.
Whether we’re styling a wedding, planning a corporate event or supplying hire products, our goal is to help clients move forward with greater confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What inspired you to start Feel Good Events?
It started with a simple frustration as we kept going to events that looked amazing but felt flat. Pretty styling, fancy venues, but no energy or vibe. That led us to a big question: What if you could design how an event feels, not just how it looks? From that, Feel Good Events was born.
What's changed since you started?
A lot and also not much. We started with a van, a handful of props, and a mission to do things differently. Today, we have a warehouse full of gear, a full time team, and a tried and tested system that’s worked across thousands of events. But what hasn’t changed is our belief that guest experience matters more than anything and that fun should be part of every brief.
Why is it called "Feel Good" Events?
Because that’s the goal. Every decision we make from the layout to the lighting is designed to help people feel welcome, excited, connected, and happy. We don’t just want events that impress visually. We want events that people remember emotionally. And we think “Feel Good” says it pretty simply.
What makes you different from other event decorators?
We don’t follow trends for the sake of it, and we don’t do cookie-cutter setups. What makes us different is our Feel Good Formula, a proven method that focuses on emotion, energy flow, and atmosphere. We also own all our gear, plan everything in house, and focus just as much on how the event feels as how it looks.
What is the Feel Good Formula and how did it come about?
The Feel Good Formula is a method we’ve developed over years of watching how people actually behave at events from where they go, how they move, when they relax, and when they party. It’s built around designing emotional flow, styling with all five senses in mind, and creating layouts that fuel energy and connection. We’ve tested it across thousands of events and continue to refine it every time.
Do you still use the Feel Good Formula for every event?
Yes, no matter the size or style. Whether it’s a small engagement party or a big brand activation, the same principles apply. Every event is built around the vibe you want to create and how your guests should feel at every moment.
What is your favourite type of event to work on?
Honestly, we love anything that’s high energy, has some mirror balls, a bit bold and full of emotion. Weddings, milestone birthdays, corporate parties with personality and anything where the client says, “We want it to be fun, stylish, and different.”
Do you offer custom styling or only set packages?
Everything we do is custom designed for your event. We don’t offer fixed styling packages because we believe your event should be as unique as your guest list. That said, we do use mood boards and themes to guide your design direction and make decisions faster.
What types of events do you specialise in?
We style and plan:
- Weddings – ceremonies, receptions, full planning or on the day
- Parties – birthdays, engagements, baby showers, mitzvahs, NYE & more
- Corporate Events – Christmas parties, gala dinners, product launches, brand activations, expos, and conferences
Do you have your own hire products?
Yes. We own all of our hire products including furniture, lighting, props, draping, dance floors, and AV gear. This means better quality control, smoother logistics, and fewer delays because we don’t rely on third party suppliers.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially for weddings or events in peak seasons (Spring and end of year). For smaller parties or off-peak bookings, shorter notice is sometimes possible, just ask.
How do I get started?
The easiest way is to get in touch with our team. We’ll ask a few questions about your event, walk you through the options, and help you figure out the best next step whether it’s a styling consult, full planning, or hire and setup.
