Businesses We Love
Over the years, we've crossed paths with some wonderful New Zealand businesses. From long-time collaborators to businesses we're always happy to recommend, these are a few of our favourites that we think are well worth knowing about.
Homestead Picture Framers
Homestead Picture Framers have been our trusted go-to framers for over 15 years. This family-owned business is brilliant at what they do, and every sample frame you see on our website has been crafted by their team.

We met Jasmine in 2022 when she launched her business at the Bride and Groom Show (her stand was right next to ours!), and have admired her work ever since. Her best-selling wedding planner book is packed with checklists, prompts, and expert tips, alongside digital planning tools and bridesmaid giftware, all created to make the journey to your big day more joyful and organised.
Slay My Day
Slay My Day is a New Zealand wedding planning directory that brings together wedding vendors, venues, inspiration and helpful planning resources. With hundreds of listings including ours they have lots of tools to help couples organise their big day. Give our listing some love and add us to your favourites.
Titirangi Smiles
Titirangi Smiles is a wonderful local business in our village, and as Kate hails from Northern England, we were bound to become friends. From my first hygiene appointment, I knew I would be a client for life. So when Steve asked me what I wanted for my 50th birthday, I said, “Teeth whitening, please! :-)” I was feeling increasingly self-conscious about making videos for Instagram. I’m an introvert, so all the “show up on Insta” stuff is my worst nightmare. Having whiter teeth certainly helped with the procrastination! If you’re getting married and want to look into any of Kate’s services, give her a call, she’s the best.
