Over the past 15 years, I have worked with countless industry colleagues, many of whom have joined me in promoting our region by gifting their time, products, and services to collectively promote our Nelson & Tasman tourism and wedding industry to the world.

Please contact us if we have missed you out on the list.

General Supporters

With thanks to:

Aly Cook is from Tasman and is a country music songwriter and performer. Aly wrote & performed Dream Maker specifically for me in the 2013 largest wedding and honeymoon prize promotion, along with Radio More FM.

We also thank Rachel Reese, Nelson Mayor at the time, for her support and encouragement.

With Gratitude to Our Local Supporters, The Dream Maker has been proudly supported by an incredible network of local businesses and community groups over the years. Their generosity, collaboration, and belief in what we do have helped shape the experiences we create while strengthening the promotion of the Nelson and Tasman regions. We are sincerely grateful for the support of: Pics Peanut Butter, Pēnati Crackers, ViaVio Cheese, Pete’s Lemonade, Proper Crisps, Radio More FM, Fresh FM, Sika Sound Blessings, Between Mirrors Hair & Makeup, Zatori, Kayla Hair & Nails, Langford Store, Hack & Stay, Specialized Print, Image Creators, Steps Web Design, Motropolis, Jazz Graphics, Onzamap, the wonderful children of Collingwood School, students from the NMIT Tourism Course, Tākaka Take Note, Sprig & Fern Pub, Wakefield Print, Chalked, GK Event Hire, Got It Covered Hire, Flexitenz, and Nelson Bays Marquee Hire. We are also proud to share a collection of videos that highlight the businesses and individuals who have supported The Dream Maker, along with the collective efforts made to showcase and promote the beauty of the Nelson and Tasman regions. Supporting local is at the heart of what I do, and we are honoured to work alongside such passionate members of our community, at the Heart of New Zealand’s Romance.

NB: Over the years, some of the businesses I have proudly endorsed may no longer be operating for a variety of reasons. As an event consultant, it is part of my role to stay adaptable and continually cultivate a trusted network of reliable professionals.

Building strong relationships within the industry is incredibly important to me, and I take great care in recommending providers who align with the high standards my couples expect. However, availability cannot always be guaranteed, particularly during peak seasons or for specific dates. Should this occur, I will always endeavour to source suitable alternatives that reflect a similar level of quality and professionalism.

While I am committed to guiding you toward respected and dependable suppliers, each business operates independently. As such, I cannot accept responsibility for the delivery of their individual services or products. That said, every recommendation is made with your experience firmly in mind.
