Love in full bloom
From intimate elopements to traditional church ceremonies, more than 18,000 couples will tie the knot in New Zealand this year.
As spring approaches, wedding season hots up with ceremonies of all variations taking place, in all manner of locations.
Wedding magic does not occur without hours of planning and creativity. From finding the perfect venue with décor to match, to developing a delectable menu alongside chosen caterers, weddings need planning, and mostly don’t come at a small cost.
Budgets should allow for unexpected and hidden costs, including the $150 marriage licence fee, the cost of wedding favours, church organists, a celebrant if using one, and more.
The increasing number of professional celebrants in New Zealand means there a strong possibility of finding the perfect person to perform the ceremony.
Remember that wedding day magic is crafted by what goes on behind the scenes. Hours spent planning the perfect day are well worth it, creating lifelong memories for friends, families, and primarily the happy newlyweds.
