‘Our wedding day was truly magical, and we owe it all to Donna and the team at New Zealand Dream Weddings. From start to finish, Donna’s communication was outstanding—she kept us informed and reassured every step of the way. Simon, our photographer, captured every moment with such artistry, making sure we have stunning memories to cherish forever. The celebrant Glenys walked us through everything we needed to do and continued communication with us despite not being able to make it for the day. Finding her replacement was handled in a way we didn’t need to stress whatsoever, and Whitney brought a warm and personal touch to our ceremony, making it deeply meaningful. The helicopter pilots added an extra layer of enchantment, whisking us away to breathtaking locations and ensuring that every detail was perfect. Their warm and friendly personalities greatly assisted our wedding day jitters and I’m very grateful for one of them taking time to capture the “first look” moment. Thanks to Donna and her incredible team, our wedding was everything we had dreamed of and more’. E& B
