Our most recent contest has come to an end we were left with the task of reading all the amazing reviews submitted over the last month and choosing a winner. It wasn’t easy. There were so many good ones and we had a hard time getting it down to even 5 or 10 to choose from.We’ve chosen Chris’s review of Windy Ridge as the winner! We liked how thoughtful it was and how it highlighted a less popular venue that many people may not know about. Congratulations Chris, we’ve contacted you to send out your prize package. You’ll be receiving a gift voucher for a 30 minute massage from Samsara Medispa as well as a copy of the brand new FQ Occasions magazine.Thank you to everyone who participated and submitted reviews of the wedding vendors you used.

Brides and Grooms, we know you want to make smart and confident decisions about who you trust to make your wedding day go off without a hitch. Our user review system lets you read opinions from other brides and grooms so you know who to contact and who to avoid, but we’ve decided to take that a step further.We’re happy to announce our new WeddingWise VIP Club!Wedding vendors marked with a VIP tag are the cream of the crop. They’ve been most often voted as excellent by savvy brides and grooms. It takes at least 10 reviews and an average overall rating of 4.5 or higher to earn VIP status, so you can be confident that these vendors are great at what they do and have many satisfied customers to back that up.Let’s all give a big congrats to Kumeu Valley Estate and Julie Lassen Marriage Celebrant for being our first VIPs. At the time of writing they have 17 and 10 glowing reviews respectively. Other vendors take note - this is how you do it!
