Taryn Baines from Make Your Day Events shares her top tips for planning a wedding on the Coromandel or Hauraki Plains.
1. How to pick a venue? The number of guests you plan to have helps narrow this down. If you want it all sorted for you and you just choose the menu and drinks list, then an all inclusive venue is the way to go. If you’d rather choose your own caterers, provide your own beverages and are happy to organise the day itself, then a local hall or backyard wedding is a great option. 2. Looking for your vendors and not sure where to start? There is a great local directory of our amazing vendors online at Your Coromandel Wedding. 3. When choosing your photo locations, work out the travel time between each by hopping in the car and timing the trip, then add 5-10 minutes to allow for bathroom breaks and rounding up your bridal party. 4. When planning an outdoor ceremony, think about shade to protect from the sun if having a summer celebration, and also consider potential poor weather - do you have the option of using your reception space as backup? You may not need to use it but it takes away the stress if you have one sorted. Your backup location needs to be on your marriage license. 5. If you need some extra help on the day for a DIY option, consider hiring a local sports club or community group to do the clean up etc – this helps them with their fundraising and takes the pressure off you and your families. 6. Be sure to take time during the day itself to pause, take it all in and bank the moments into your memory because as they say “time flies when you are having fun”.
