Artaud & Co are an exclusive wedding planner and creative stylist based in beautiful Hobart, Tasmania.

We create experiences that are as magical as the bond you both share; from the most intimate of elopements to the largest weddings that simply must be attended by everyone meaningful in your lives.

We don’t believe in providing pre-made, generic packages to our clients – every one of our weddings is as unique as those that have trusted us with their most special day. We hand-pick every venue and vendor on this beautiful island to ensure your vision is realised.

Whether you just need a little help, or just someone to handle the entire thing; Artaud & Co provide on-day coordination, full or partial planning, and consultancy sessions, along with wedding styling, bespoke hire and lighting services.

We are proudly inclusive and support all love regardless of your orientation or identity.

We live and work on Palawa land in the most beautiful state in Australia, Lutruwita. Home to the freshest air, purest water and richest soil; it gives us some of the world’s most enchanting wines, delectable cheeses and spectacular seafood to name just a few.

Our heart-shaped island in all its wonders makes the perfect backdrop to your special day, but if you’ve got your heart set on the mainland or overseas – we may be able to help with that too!

A Note From Lisa

Hello, I’m Lisa Artaud—and if you’re here, you’re likely recently engaged. Congratulations!

I am a romantic at heart, drawn to the beauty of meaningful connection and the stories that unfold when two people come together. What I love most about my work is the relationship we build with our couples: getting to know you deeply, understanding what matters most, and translating that into a wedding that feels effortless, intentional, and unmistakably yours.

With 17 years of experience across hospitality, weddings, and event design, Artaud & Co offers a highly curated, detail-driven planning experience. Our approach is refined yet warm—luxury that feels personal, thoughtful, and never contrived. Every celebration we create is carefully considered, from the grand design gestures to the smallest, meaningful details, ensuring your wedding reflects who you are as a couple.

My background in fine dining, wine, and hospitality—supported by an Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Management—shaped the way I approach weddings today: with precision, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to exceptional experiences. What began as a love for exquisite food and beautiful spaces evolved into a lifelong passion for creating weddings that are immersive, seamless, and deeply memorable.

After years working across celebrated venues and intimate bistros, I followed both love and ambition to Tasmania, where Artaud & Co was born. Today, we work across Tasmania and beyond, collaborating with extraordinary creative partners and iconic locations, old and new. We are proud to call this remarkable place home.

At Artaud & Co, our couples are never navigating the process alone. We are steadfast advocates, calm guides, and trusted partners—always acting in your best interest, always firmly on your side. Our role is to support you, protect your vision, and ensure the journey feels as considered and enjoyable as the day itself.

Our work has been recognised nationally, including a feature in Vogue, and continues to evolve with the launch of our wedding education business in 2025. Yet at the heart of everything we do is the same intention: to create beautifully designed weddings with care, integrity, and soul.

I would love to talk with you about bringing your celebration to life—perhaps over a Tasmanian tipple. Let the fun begin x

Warmly,
Lisa Artaud
Artaud & Co
