Your Wedding Investment
The amount you will invest in your wedding is contingent on your preferences.
Do you want a Band or a DJ? Are you a minimalist in décor, or do you want ALL the florals? Do you prefer a three-course dinner or a fine dining experience with wine pairings?
We guide our clients in determining what their wedding day could look like, and once those expectations are set, the design and details rise to that level.
While the exact number is determined by multiple factors such as location, production, floral design, food and beverage, etc., Fantail Weddings clients typically spend between NZD1.2k and 5.5k per guest.
How We Work
No Guesswork, No Surprises
When setting expectations and discussing numbers, we aren’t afraid to keep it real. Our transparency reflects our loyalty to our clients; we keep their best interests at heart and ensure they’re well-informed throughout the planning process.
Fantail Weddings operates with complete transparency and the mutual trust of our clients. Discussing money doesn’t scare us; in fact, we require it.
Our main priority is our clients’ comfort and confidence throughout the planning process. We do not send surprise invoices or make spending decisions without prior discussion. We take the stewardship of your wedding budget seriously.
We do not take kickbacks or have exclusive relationships with any vendors. Each wedding we produce is specifically designed with the client’s preferences and personal style in mind.
Design elements are thoughtfully chosen and tailored to our clients, creating a unique event that reflects their story, not a cookie-cutter, on-trend, same-same.
What we do
Really Well
Fantail Wedding specialises in both tented (marquee) and non-tented weddings. Each event we produce is tailored to the client, with the difference being the scope of the design.
Tented events are literally built from the ground up at either venues for hire or private residences.
From creating custom floor plans, ensuring electricity and water availability, and commissioning an experienced crew to bring the vision to life, tented events are a full-blown production process. The necessary elements required for tenting an event (tent, flooring, lighting, bathrooms, etc.) start at NZD45k.
Non-tented events include indoor and outdoor locations, such as wineries and gardens. These events occur at an existing venue space; production typically begins the day before the wedding, with planning starting up to 18 -12 months before the wedding date.
