We get asked about this a lot, so thought we’d write a little ditty about a few of the things we do here…

ONE OF A KIND We are a unique bunch here at the Wellington Wedding Show. We have lots of layers – a bit like those Russian Babushka dolls where you open one and a smaller one is inside, and you keep opening them and think there can’t possibly be another one, but there is! Whilst I assure you that we are all separate people, we do have many different things that we offer, and much like a Babushka doll, we like to think we are full of surprises.

MORE MORE MORE You see the Wellington Wedding Show is more than just 2 big exciting shows per year, where we feature Wellington (and NZ’s) best wedding suppliers in one place, with lots of exciting things to see, hear, touch, taste and feel. Yes, the shows are phenomenal and brides and grooms just love them – and so do we! It’s a wonderful way to meet all the experts in one place, see who you click with, get a feel for their style and go from there. Each stall is a small representation of the exhibitor’s business, so going along and engaging with who’s there, is an ideal way to get a real sense of what’s on offer in today’s bridal market.

24/7 But that’s not all we do! The show runs all year round, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. How?! Our wonderful website of course!! The show goes on and on, and we feature all our fabulous exhibitors and what they can offer you at the click of a button. You can shop for suppliers in the comfort of your own home and contact them at your leisure. We are also pretty proud of our blog (which you are reading now- thank you!) and strive to keep it fresh, new and interesting with several updates a week. You can also see the latest updates on our Facebook and Twitter pages – and if you like you can contact us and send through questions via these pages. We love hearing from you! We also have some pretty cool special VIP events coming up, and would love to have you join us… so keep your eyes glued to our pages and follow, like and love away! The more the merrier, so spread the word and have your friends like us too!

PAULA BEVEGE EVENTS As you might know, The Wellington Wedding Show is owned and operated by one of Wellington’s top event stylists, Paula Bevege. Paula knows who’s who in the wedding industry and has her finger on the pulse, all year round. She styles and plans many amazing events, and weddings have always been her forte and passion. So besides running the incredibly busy Wedding Show, Paula is available to plan, organise and style weddings and events all year round. She is a wonderful consultant and can do as little or as much as a couple requires.

MR & MRS What else is there? Well last but certainly not least is our crown jewel, our beloved Mr & Mrs magazine, which we work hard on to produce just for you. Mr & Mrs features newly married local couples who have used the same suppliers and experts you are considering. You can gain amazing inspiration and motivation from their stories and images. What’s better than reading all about other couples like you, and finding out how they collated their wedding day look, style and theme – and which suppliers they chose to help them along the way?! And what’s more, you too can feature in our magazine! Immortalise your love story in print and share it with us. The next issue is set for release in time for the next Wedding Show in early May 2013- wait and see, the time will fly by! Everyone through the door gets a free copy of Mr & Mrs magazine, and further copies are then distributed around our wonderful capital city. Mr & Mrs gets snapped up like hotcakes and we always run out of copies. So don’t miss out on your next issue. And if you are interested in finding out more about starring in Mr & Mrs, send an email to [email protected] for a submission form. It’s never too early to get the ball rolling!

SWAK There’s a lot more we could tell you (and no doubt we will in upcoming posts) but for now we will seal this blog with a kiss (SWAK – just like in high school) and look forward to staying in touch with you! BYE!
