How We started

The Owner Yelka had a dream that she was organising a function and couldn’t get anyone interested enough in what she wanted. She travelled All over Victoria to get bits and pieces to put her function together. At the end of it she was exausted and fell asleep and couldn’t even remember how it went. This started the idea of Elegant Occasions –where you can organise absolutely everything you need for your function under one roof.

Let Elegant Occasions take the worry out of organising your next function. A very unique type of business, we can co-ordinate and manage any function. Everything from invitations, cakes, flowers, décor, personalised gifts, chaircovers, centrepieces and special effects.

Visit our showroom where our staff will guide you through many portfolios of our magnificent work while you are enjoying a coffee and a slice of our delicious cake or a chocolate. As a preffered supplier to many reception venues as well corporate clients including government departments, we have over 25years experience and expertise in the function industry. We  regularly attend conventions around Australia and overseas for new ideas and concepts. This shows in the numerous awards we have won in the bridal industry as well as the Australian Achiever Awards.

Whether you just need a special cake or the complete range of our services you are most welcome to ask for advice and assistance.
