About The Kept Aisle
However much help you need, we treat your wedding like it’s ours.
Wedding planning and day-of coordination across NSW, led by Kara Dawe.
The name
Why “The Kept Aisle.”
A wedding day has one moment everything else is really building toward: the walk down the aisle. Everything before it (the timeline, the vendors, the small things that could go wrong) exists to protect that moment, so it’s exactly as calm and exactly as yours as you pictured it.
That’s what “kept” means here. Not just planned, not just organised: looked after, on purpose, by someone who treats it like it matters as much to us as it does to you.
Hi, I’m Kara
I didn’t plan to become a wedding coordinator. I became one on the job.
Working weddings from the inside, I kept finding myself the one quietly solving the problem before anyone else even noticed there was one: rebuilding a timeline on the fly, chasing down a vendor who’d gone quiet, talking a stressed bridal party back down before the photos started. Somewhere in the middle of all that, I realised it wasn’t the part of the job I tolerated. It was the part I actually loved.
These days I’m planning my own wedding too, which means I’m living the exact process I walk my couples through, from both sides at once. I know what it’s like to stare at a seating chart at 11pm, to worry about the weather two months out, to wonder if you’re allowed to say no to a plus-one. It’s not theory for me right now. It’s this year.
I’m not here to hand you a checklist and check in twice before the big day. I’m here properly, in the details, on the day, and everywhere in between, so your wedding actually feels like yours from start to finish, and the only thing left for you to do is enjoy it.
With love,
Kara Dawe

Founding client offer
Day-of Coordination and Partial Planning are offered as standalone services for the first time this year. I’m not new to weddings, but I am building this part of TKA, so a limited number of founding clients get more of my time and attention, on fewer weddings.
