Our Story
In 2014, after eight years of corporate events work in Sydney, creating and running events ranging from three day conferences for 300 people to small breakfast workshops and celebratory dinners, I moved to Waiheke with my husband Jake.
Working with an outstanding team of local industry professionals, I have the privilege of running Island Collection, combining my penchant for creating memorable, beautiful and seamless events with a comprehensive knowledge of Waiheke. People – my Island Collection clients – are at the heart of what I do. Everyone has a dream, a vision, a wish-list for their wedding or special event and my role is to transform ideas into reality.
When Jake and I married on my parents’ property in the Wairarapa, we had a marquee and planned every detail ourselves, hiring pretty much everything, right down to the teaspoons. It was fun, but so much work! I really learned the value of getting help, especially having someone come in and run the day, enabling the bride, groom and their families to be in the moment and enjoy themselves.
The Island Collection does it all. We offer wedding planning and styling, as well as set up assistance and on-the-day coordination for events of all sizes. We also have a stylish and affordable range of hire items – furniture, décor, lighting and sound equipment – which we deliver and set up. We’ll sort your music too, with options of live bands, acoustic musicians and DJs. We can even organise some island-appropriate wedding cars.
Whether you’re visiting Waiheke for a break or an event, The Island Collection also has a range of hire equipment for babies and children. Sorted!
I very much look forward to working with you to create your perfect event.
