Over 18,000 followers, and high-profile influencers, on social media platforms is a great benefit for a new owner.
Harpur-Swain says the team thrives on creativity and are skilled problem-solvers who create the most amazing weddings and events with passion and create incredible memories for their clients that last a lifetime. They provide inspiring destinations for couples who travel from near and far to marry in New Zealand.
Each wedding is tailor-made with a focus on highlighting the personality and passion of the individuals.
“This business is well established and known among many circles for being the elite wedding company throughout New Zealand, not only Central Otago,” says Harpur-Swain.
The successful business uses elite and exclusive venues, in addition to other venues.
It was created in 2011 and has been an outstanding success, with the bounce-back since the Covid-19 pandemic outstanding.
Harpur-Swain says the business has a high number of confirmed bookings for the year which will generate an excellent profit.
This is important for a new owner as cashflow is crucial in anyone’s first year in business. Inquiries are coming in for the next year too.
The business owner says: “I could see the need for a more inclusive wedding and events company to particularly service the destination wedding market, which is a huge contributor in the Queenstown Lakes area.
“From a background in corporate events and an eye for the finer details, I knew I had the skills to do it. So I set it up and it hasn’t looked back.
“I truly love it, but due to family commitments it is time to hand it over to someone else to enjoy it and grow it some more.”
The business is currently based in Central Otago and it would be most practical for a buyer to live there, although not necessary.
Central Otago appears one of the most popular places for destination weddings throughout New Zealand and eastern Australia, allowing guests to take advantage of the many activities while visiting the area.
The sale includes extensive assets of event furniture, fixtures, fittings and the truck used to transport equipment to the events.
