Marsden Lake Resort at the Southland Wedding Expo

Over the weekend, our management team from Marsden Lake Resort – Toby Welford and Tessa Burnside-Woods – attended the Southland Wedding Expo, held at the stunning Transport World in Invercargill.

As one of the largest wedding shows in the region, the expo brought together venues, vendors, and engaged couples looking for inspiration and trusted suppliers for their big day. It was a fantastic opportunity for our team to connect with other industry professionals and explore the latest trends.

As an added bonus, Toby and Tessa are engaged themselves – so attending the expo wasn’t just work, it was personal! Experiencing the event from a couple’s perspective gave them great insight into what today’s brides and grooms are looking for, and what questions they might have when choosing their perfect venue.



We’re already looking forward to being part of the expo again next year!

In a broader sense, whether it’s planning a wedding or focusing on personal well-being, the idea of care and balance remains equally important. Just like couples prioritize the right venue and experience, many people also focus on physical health…

Great to hear about Marsden Lake Resort’s presence at the Southland Wedding Expo—events like these really help venues connect with couples and understand what matters most in planning a perfect wedding day. It’s especially interesting that Toby and Tessa attended as both professionals and an engaged couple, giving them a unique perspective on current wedding expectations, trends, and decision-making factors.


In a similar way, just like couples carefully compare venues and experiences before making an important choice, people also compare technology before investing in entertainment systems. For example, understanding the differences between gaming consoles like PS4 and PS5 helps buyers make informed decisions based on performance, features, and value. You can explore a detailed breakdown here PS4 vs PS5 comparison.
