About Us
Thoughtfully led. Seamlessly executed.
Ginger Events is a boutique wedding studio led by sisters-in-law Izzy and Ashley, creating refined, intentional celebrations across Aotearoa and destination locations worldwide.
We specialise in wedding planning, styling, on-the-day coordination and celebrant services for couples who value clarity, considered design and a calm, highly organised approach to their wedding experience.
We are based between Tāmaki Makaurau - Auckland and Tauranga Moana, and work with couples throughout Aotearoa and internationally.
A trusted team behind every celebration.
Our services include full wedding planning, styling and creative direction, on-the-day coordination and bespoke celebrant ceremonies. Each service is tailored, with support designed around your celebration rather than a fixed package structure. Every proposal is created individually to reflect your location, guest experience and level of involvement required.
Alongside Izzy and Ashley is a small, experienced team who support the delivery of each wedding on the ground. This allows us to maintain consistency, calm and precision across every celebration while ensuring a highly personal experience.
We take on a limited number of weddings each season to ensure every celebration receives a considered, high-touch experience.
If you are looking for a wedding that feels beautifully designed, effortlessly managed and completely reflective of you, we would love to hear your story.
