About Donna
Thank you for being here.
New Zealand Dream Weddings began nearly 30 years ago, and if I think back to that time, I didn’t sit down and plan a business.
I was asked if I could plan an elopement for an international couple, my husband’s cousin.
I loved every minute, I put myself in their shoes with the chats I had with them. The whole process went so smoothly and the day could not have been more perfect.
From this first wedding, I knew I had found my purpose and passion – to give couples their elopement day with the heart and care that it deserved.
Over the years, so much has changed in the wedding world. But for me, the reason I do this hasn’t.
I still care about each couple.
I still listen, and take the time to understand the vision for their elopement. I want couples to feel relaxed and stress-free, knowing they can trust me to bring their day together just as they’ve imagined.
And to be honest… after nearly 30 years, I have no regret at all with what I do and I never will. Each wedding, is its own love story and I have a soft heart for love stories.
Thank you for stopping by here to read a little about me. I do appreciate that.
If you feel that I am the planner for you, please do contact me. I would love to hear from you.

Through my own marriage into a Japanese family many years ago, I have personal experience of the care and respect that mixed-culture weddings often involve. Over many years I’ve also supported couples from Japan, across Asia, and from many other parts of the world planning their New Zealand elopements with calm guidance and understanding from the very beginning.
