New Zealand Wedding Planning with Heart
Our business name is borrowed from the curious, rid-of-all-constraints Fantail, or as the Maori, the tangata whenua (Indigenous people) of Aotearoa, New Zealand, call this spirited and adventurous bird – Piwakawa.
In Maori mythology, the appearance of a Piwakawa signals the opportunity to prepare for an event.ย
ย That’s how we approach each wedding: Curious and ready.ย
ย We create space to break free from the restraints of tradition and enjoy every second of your wedding with an air of unfettered freedom. That’s how we’ll produce your day, honouring and leaving space for the unexpected, the wild and free, the beautiful and romantic, unscripted, the true and the real.ย
AT FANTAIL WEDDINGS, WE BELIEVE CONNECTION IS AT THE CENTER OF EVENT PLANNING.
