The Wellington Wedding Show

February – March Newsletter # 3

Update - The Wellington Wedding Show - 2009

Let’s start with good news.  The Wellington Wedding Show is all booked out for 2009.  I am preparing for a great year and am also happy to announce that Wellington will be hosting a second wedding show each year on the first weekend of October starting in 2009.

Invoices/Confirmation

All exhibitors would have received their confirmation /Invoice for 2009.

Please make payments by the required dates stated on your invoice.

All details that will be placed in The Wellington Wedding Show booklet are what we have recorded on your invoice/confirmation, if you wish to make changers please email: [email protected].  If you do not advise I will take it that what is shown is what we have to print.

Photography

I have received many requests from exhibitors wanting to use the photos taken at the show.  As you may know for several years I have contracted Rob Driessen as the official photographer to do the photography at the Wellington Wedding Show. These photos are used only for the promotion of the wedding show itself, like on my website, posters, advertising in magazines, wedding show booklet etc. Apart from promoting our wedding show, the photos are never forwarded or sold to other businesses, so your unique creative flair and design is safe with us. There are a few simple ‘rules’ in regards to the wedding show photos:

• Rob Driessen owns copyright of the photos, Rob trades in accordance with the NZIPP conditions of trade.
• If you would like to use some of the photos, contact Rob Driessen directly (www.rdphotography.co.nz). Typically the use of these photos will be free of charge, on the provision the images are clearly credited.

Giveaway Bags

I am please to announce that this year the BNZ will be supplying all bags for our bride and grooms.  These will be filled with lots of goodies not to mention the new Wellington Wedding Show booklet.  If you have vouchers or giveaways please contact: [email protected].

Posters

Over the next few weeks we will circulating posters for shop windows, please let me know if you have missed out and I will have them delivered to you.

Websites

It is really important that if you have a website please advertise the Wellington Wedding Show and link the gorgeous wedding show site to your own.
