Planning your wedding doesn’t actually start with a venue…
It starts with you.
Your vibe. Your relationship. The way you want your day to feel.
Big party? Intimate moment? Somewhere in between?
If you’re not sure where to begin – this is it.
We’re breaking down the different types of wedding couples (and trust us… you’ll see yourself in one instantly).
The “Main Character Energy” Couple
You’re not here for subtle – you’re here for a moment.
Think big entrances, outfit changes, champagne towers, and a packed dance floor from start to finish. Your wedding is less “event” and more experience.
Your vibe looks like:
• Large guest list
• Statement florals + styling
• Live music or DJ
• Late night food (burgers, pizza, something iconic)
The “Soft, Romantic & Intentional” Couple
You care about the feeling – and every detail means something.
Your wedding is emotional, beautiful, and deeply personal. The kind where guests walk away saying “that felt so them.”
Your vibe looks like:
• Garden, vineyard, or coastal settings
• Personal vows
• Neutral tones + soft florals
• Smaller, meaningful guest list
The “Let’s Elope & Be Done With It” Couple
You’d choose a mountain over a seating chart any day.
For you, it’s about the two of you – the experience, the adventure, and doing things your way without the noise.
Your vibe looks like:
• Epic New Zealand landscapes
• Minimal guest list (or none at all)
• Sunrise or sunset ceremonies
• A full day experience instead of a formal timeline
The “Cool Without Trying” Couple
Effortless. Editorial. Slightly Pinterest… but cooler.
You’re not following trends — you’re setting them. Your wedding feels curated but never overdone.
Your vibe looks like:
• Modern venues or outdoor long table setups
• Fashion-forward outfits
• Candles, textures, layered styling
• Content creators capturing candid moments
The “Weekend Wedding Takeover” Couple
If people are travelling… you’re making it worth it.
Your wedding isn’t just a day – it’s a full experience.
Your vibe looks like:
• Welcome drinks + wedding + recovery brunch
• Destination feel (even within NZ)
• Guest activities
• Venues with accommodation
The “Rule Breakers”
Traditions? Optional.
You’re doing it your way – and that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable.
Your vibe looks like:
• Non-traditional timelines
• Unique venues or locations
• Personal touches everywhere
• Zero pressure to follow the “rules”
