Kelly and Ian love their wine and came back from London to get married at Cable Bay vineyard on Waiheke Island – check out the photo of their wine cellar! They used our Managing Your Big Day service to make sure their wedding day went off without a hitch! Their wedding day was forecast to be a  “weather bomb”, however they still got most of the day they planned other than the wedding ceremony taking place inside due to high winds.

 

 Kelly had a stunning wedding dress - she said she felt like she had tried on every wedding dress in London before choosing it and it certainly was worth it. Cable Bay vineyard was decorated very tastefully with hire Items from both Auckland and Waiheke Island suppliers. Emma Hughes, the photographer, got fabulous photos despite the weather. The wind in fact turned out to be very useful for getting dramatic shots with the wedding veil!

 

Kelly and Ian were determined to get some photos in the vineyard amongst the grape vines and thankfully this was possible. Kelly and Ian, wishing you many years of happiness together and I hope you continue to enjoy our Waiheke wines from the other side of the world.

 

Lisa and David decided to get married while they were on holiday in New Zealand, then go back to England and surprise their family and friends!  It was a beautiful day for a wedding ceremony on the beach. The groom had a tear in his eye as soon as Rosemareyn, the celebrant, started the wedding vows. Showing that you don’t need to share the ceremony with guests for it still to be a moving experience.

 

Phillipa Karn, the wedding photographer had fun getting photos of the happy couple on the beach and climbing the rocks. The only minor drama was earlier in the day when the make up artist needed to cover Lisa’s sunburn so that it didn’t show in the wedding photos (too much lying out on a sun lounger the day before the wedding!)

 

Thank you Lisa and David for letting us share in your special day.

 

Siobhan and Jason wanted to share their special day with a large group of family and friends. Getting married on the beach was important to them, and even though it was windy they were keen to go through with their plan. The groomsmen had created a heart made of shells on the beach, for them to get married in front of.

As Zimbabwean immigrants Siobhan and Jason required full planning assistance as they were unfamiliar with New Zealand wedding traditions. It was a big family affair with a large wedding party.

There was lots of dancing, fun, and laughter.

Words of appreciation

Jan and Jenny were fantastic in organising all aspects of our wedding leading up until and on the day. As a first-time bride I had no idea of where or what to start doing to plan my wedding until finding these two valuable ladies who organised the Platinum Package for Jason and myself.

The package made all the difference to us as everything was included i.e. setting up appointments with suppliers, asking them questions of charges/services they provide, giving us detailed information on getting our guests over to Waiheke as all of them came from Auckland and not to mention making sure everyone knew their roles on the day whether they were the MC, in the bridal party, or helping out.

Jan and Jenny really do everything to ensure your day runs smoothly and on time and having them there at the rehearsal to show us all how things will be running on the day was more than helpful. Thanks to both of them Jason and myself had the picture perfect wedding day and getting to know Jan and Jenny is such a pleasure, we'll truly miss our trips over to Waiheke Island to see them.

Thanks once again for making our day so special and unique.

Love Jason and Siobha'n.
