Smita and Glenn live in Queenstown and although they had some spare time, they weren’t sure of anything when it came to planning their own wedding, so they called me.
I met with them both at their home at Kelvin Heights and we carried out the consultation. Smita is English with an Indian background and Glenn is a kiwi. They didn’t want the Hindu culture to take over the wedding, but they were keen for it to have some influence.

Local couple Hayley and Allen were referred to me by a another of their wedding suppliers. They were already well and truly knee deep in planning their own wedding, but had hit a few hic ups and needed some support both in the planning and on the day.
I met with them at their Queenstown home for their consultation and they were quickly at ease with the assurances and advise I gave them. They soon changed florist to one whom I recommended and also saved money in the process. Then they booked the transport company I frequently work with, which also came in at a lot less than all 3 of the quotes she had sourced previously on her own. In her own words, ‘I was paying for myself in savings I helped organise’! – Needless to say I felt pretty chuffed as nothing gives me greater pleasure than being able to help and saving clients money!
