Meet Your Fairy Godmother
Every wedding deserves someone behind the scenes making sure everything happens exactly as planned.
I’m Sonya - practical, organised, and the kind of person who jumps in and makes things happen (always with a big smile).
With more than a decade working in weddings, I know what it takes to keep a wedding day running smoothly - and how to handle the unexpected with calm and confidence.
You enjoy the celebration.
I’ll make sure everything happens.
How I Can Help
Every Wanaka wedding is different, which means the support I provide can vary.
Some couples simply need an on-the-day wedding coordinator to manage the timeline and suppliers. Others need help managing wedding catering service teams, running the wedding bar, or capturing behind-the-scenes content from their wedding.
Whether you need wedding coordination, catering service, bar management or a combination of services, I can build the right support around your day.
When extra hands are needed, I bring in my trusted team of experienced staff so everything runs smoothly and guests are well looked after.
My Approach
I believe you shouldn’t have to take out a mortgage to get married.
A great wedding isn’t about spending the most money - it’s about creating a day that feels relaxed, joyful, and completely true to you.
My role is simple:
to bring your plans together, solve problems before you see them, and make sure the day flows exactly as it should.
You celebrate.
I handle the details.
