This week, I’m joined by Tania, a recent bride and on-the-day wedding coordinator at Eighty Eight Events. She and her husband planned a beautifully intentional celebration at Six One Five Matakana. From high-school sweethearts to a proposal that unfolded right at home, Tania’s story is full of honesty and the kind of grounded perspective couples need to hear.We chat about:💜 Navigating 12+ years together, moving through life stages, and finally getting engaged💜 Choosing priorities like good food, good drinks, and good company💜 Balancing family input, traditions, and their own priorities💜 Finding a dress that felt timeless, comfortable, and true to her💜 Their calm, present wedding day and how she managed to stay grounded💜 What a wedding coordinator really does behind the scenes and why it’s worth considering one💜 The realities of planning a DIY wedding while working full-time… and so much more!Follow Tania at @eightyeightevents_ on Instagram.Let me know what you think of this episode!If you want to check out photos from this wedding and see more behind the scenes, head to @thekiwiweddingpodcast and follow Lydia at @lydiarachelphotoVendors:Catering: @sourcekitchennzCake: @from__sugarCelebrant: @jimsweddingsDay of Coordinator: @dreamevents_nzFlorals: @floralcentricFurniture: @lowercasehireHair & Makeup: @fionawright__Lion Dancers: @tungtekliondanceMarquees & Umbrellas: @raj_tent_club_nzPhotography: @jesseandjessieweddingsVenue: @sixonefive_matakanaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
