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!
