Amy & Lance Contemporary & Elegant Wanaka Wedding

Amy and Lance had been recommended to me by their celebrant who realized they needed some extra assistance. They were getting married at a local private home, Mantells followed by reception at Missy’s Restaurant in town.

Chris & Laura’s Dragonfly Ball in Cromwell

Laura had been a bridesmaid for a bride whose wedding I helped plan a year earlier and it was great to have a new booking as a result of her experiencing my work. I met Laura and her mum in Wanaka around 18 months prior to her envisaged wedding date to go through the consultation.

Fiona & Lee’s Stoneridge Wedding

Fiona and Lee live in Sydney Australia, but as Lee is a kiwi they decided to get married over here and where better than Queenstown! They hadn’t a clue where to get started, but after my consultation with them, I was able to present a few different venue options and ideas for their day. Fiona and Lee wanted a very simply wedding, and weren’t too worried about fussing on the non essential parts. They preferred to stick to the basics – great venue with good food and wine! They chose Stoneridge Estate for the ceremony and reception for the backdrop of all backdrops!
