📢2026 Wedding Industry Awards New Zealand FINALIST ANNOUNCEMENT📢
We have these gorgeous FINALIST Envelopes for you to SHARE with your fam, followers, and super-fans!
To SECURE YOURS, DROP US A PM, or email Pete directly via [email protected] and we’ll arrange to have this across to you within 48hrs.

PETE’S PRO TIP: We have two Envelopes for a reason. If you’re a business where you’re it, then CHOOSE “I’m a finalist…” If you are a team of two or more within your fab business, CHOOSE “We’re a finalist…”
As we move into the weekend, this is a great opportunity as a 2026 FINALIST to refresh your amazing business [and all the marvellous mahi you do], to your past, present, and prospective clients.
Also, go that one step further. INVITE your cheer squad of loyalists to follow your awards journey, or BETTER STILL, ask them to SHARE your newfound FINALIST fame from their own social media ‘lounge’, with those within their circle of influence.
You’d be amazed where simply thinkin’ outside the square could lead you.

What’s the worst that could happen in being the Tall Poppy you were always meant to be?
