40. Ōhinetahi House + Garden Wedding with Bride Jemima Blokland Gordan

Chatting to the lovely Jemima on the podcast today about her recent Ōhinetahi wedding. A few things we cover: J & M's love story and surprise proposal. Making hard guest list decisions and the rules they created to help guide this. Having a smaller bridal party and keeping things simple. A stressful lead-up to the wedding with wildfires near the venue, evacuations and backup plans. Why it's important to surround yourself with good people and vendors you trust. An honest chat about budget and a few savvy ways they managed to save money. Their Waiheke Island honeymoon. A helpful website for seating charts. Her advice for couples. ...and so much more. Below you can find the handles for all J & M's vendors. Be sure to check out some of their photos on IG at ⁠@thekiwiweddingpodcast⁠ + give us a follow.
