Cup Week has come and gone, but what an incredible highlight it was on the Canterbury calendar! So much effort goes into making these events happen—marquees, furniture, fencing, security, bathrooms, catering, drinks, styling, florals, signage, and more. Every detail has to be perfect to ensure everyone has a great time.

A massive thank you to all the hardworking industry crews who made Cup Week such a memorable event!

Planning an event? Got a theme in mind? I love a good dress-up party! And yes, when I'm working one, I go all-in on the theme too!

This photo is from a private Gatsby party, where the guests' outfits were nothing short of spectacular—everyone fully embraced the 1920s vibe, and it made the night unforgettable.

So, are you someone who loves getting into costume, or do you steer clear of dress-up parties at all costs? Let me know in the comments!

Exciting news for Real Women Raw Stories 2025!

In past years, we've held the event in August, but next year we’re moving it to October! This shift means it will fall after daylight savings, giving us longer days and (fingers crossed 🤞) better weather to enjoy together.

Exact dates are still to come, so stay tuned for updates as we confirm all the details. Can’t wait to see you there!

Don't leave it till the last minute and end up pulling your hair out!
The upcoming wedding season is booking up, but I still have a few dates left.

If you are wanting help on the day (set up, pack down or on the day coordination) then get in touch. But don't leave it too long.

Feeling overwhelmed by wedding planning and not sure where to start?

A wedding planner can take away the stress by reducing your to-do list to a short list of options that fit your style. This way, you can focus on all the other things in your life.

After all, you’ve never planned a wedding before, so why not trust someone who has?

Better Together - Wedding Fair is back this Sunday, 22 September, at on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton from 11am - 3pm!

I can’t believe it’s our 7th year already.

With over 45 vendors, it’s the perfect day to explore ideas if you’re planning a wedding or just looking for inspiration. I’m especially excited to meet new couples and catch up with the amazing suppliers who’ve supported this event over the years.

Looking forward to a great day!

Alofa & Pete got married at a private residence in Christchurch. Myself and my team helped set up the ceremony and reception at a different location.

I loved being there on the day to ensure their family and friends could relax.

Proud moment today as my first issue of Canterbury Bride hit the shelves! 🎉

A huge shoutout to Kineta Booker - Christchurch + North Canterbury Elopement Celebrant, who had the crazy idea of me buying the business back in July 2023. What a wild ride it’s been—especially launching a print magazine right before a recession!

This issue wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible team behind it: Kineta (editor), Suz (design), Belinda (proofing), Rachel (sales) and Lucinda (previous owner, who patiently answered ALL of my questions).

A massive thank you as well to all the suppliers for your encouragement and support. This magazine literally wouldn’t have survived without you. I adore this community and am so grateful for each and every one of you! 💖

Last week I visited Hamilton to confirm a venue for next years Real Women Raw Stories. So stay tuned for the dates and details to be confirmed. Real Women Raw Stories is an event where we talk about the parts of peoples lives that we don't often discuss. To provide hope for people navigating hard things and to show them that they are not alone. This video shows Mrs D Is Going Without discussing her journey to sobriety and what this event meant to her.

Real Women Raw Stories - The Importance of Sharing

Real Women Raw Stories is an event that is all about sharing stories. Hear from this years speakers about why they think this is important. This event has been going for 3 years and is my passion project. Next year it will be held in Christchurch AND Hamilton. Stay tuned, dates and details will be released soon. Video by SIGN NETWORK LIMITED Mrs D Is Going Without Life Coaching With Fariya Di Foster Michelle Emery

This video is a great summary of what Real Women Raw Stories is all about. Whilst the topics can often be heavy, the feedback I get is that the event inspires hope. I am so proud of this event and the growth that I see each year. Thanks SIGN NETWORK LIMITED for capturing this on film.

Some of you will know that I created an event called Real Women Raw Stories. This video was filmed last year and explains that the inspiration came from wanting to help my Mum. This was a hard video for me to re-watch and I feel a bit nervous about sharing it. But that is what Real Women Raw Stories is all about. Talking about the hard things, so that others feel comfortable to share their stories too. Real Women Raw Stories is taking place Thursday 24th August at 7pm. I would love to see you there.

With a blank canvas like this you have to have vision and a good team on set up duty. My team and I set up this space and even packed down after the ceremony. Too easy.
