The Event Refinery | Auckland Wedding Decor | Auckland Wedding Planners
Have you ever thought how funny it is that you also become an event planner the moment you get engaged? And for many couples, it is a task that comes naturally, yet they manage to complete it without any trouble. But how about those couples who are not into styling, coming up with a theme, an aesthetic, and so on?
Well, as an Auckland wedding photographer, I have seen it all, from couples who have a clear idea of how their wedding day should look to those who are clueless and rather hire someone to provide the service of styling their big day. And luckily for either case, many service providers offer both alternatives.
One of my favorite wedding and event teams is The Event Refinery, a couple of friends that are passionate about parties and have amazing skills to organize and conceptualize your upcoming wedding. What I love about them are the many options they offer, from decor hiring only to planning and coordinating weddings big and small.
Let’s say you know exactly what you need to bring your dreamed wedding to reality; in that case, you can hire furniture, accessories, and tableware. They offer many unique pieces such as a triangle wedding arch for your ceremony, cane furniture, brass cutlery, vases, and even neon signs. And if you have no idea where to start but have an overall style you’d love in mind, The Event Refinery has your back with outstanding service and tailor-made packages to help make those dream a reality.
Their creations are truly unique, with an outstanding eye for style and design and out-of-the-box ideas for the untraditional couples who seek to gift their guests a unique experience instead of the typical wedding decor. And in addition to their styling skills, when you bring them on your wedding ride, you can rest easy knowing your wedding day will run smoothly, and according to plan, their attention to detail and organizational skills are outstanding. So, now you know who to call to plan a memorable wedding.
But that’s enough from me! Here’s a few a super happy brides who have nothing but praise and thank for what The Event Refinery has done for them!
We hired The Event Refinery for our wedding because our venue was a blank canvas so we needed a lot of help to create exactly what we wanted. From the day I enquired right up till the big day The Event Refinery girls' made the planning / set up / pack down so easy! During the planning they helped me with ideas and attended to any change I needed with ease. On the day they set up the venue perfectly and made our vision come to life. It was perfect. The communication was fantastic and everything I hired from them *knifes, forks, plates, furniture etc* was beautiful. I would not hesitate to use / recommend them for any event in the future! Thanks ladies.

I don’t even know where to start...There is absolutely no way I could have pulled off my surprise wedding without Mel and her team. Mel totally went above and beyond at every single step of the way, nothing was ever too hard! I was still changing details on her 3 weeks out and she took it all in stride! She kept me cool calm and collected with her organisation and reassurance, and on the night everything flowed so seamlessly! Thank you so much for everything you did for us!

We utilised The Event Refinery's "on the day" planning and coordinating services for our wedding and couldn't speak more highly of Mel. You're not just getting an event planner on the day but someone (with an eagle eye for detail) who oversees details from all vendors in the lead up to the big day. Thanks to the attention that went into our runsheet, the day went smoothly, all the vendors knew what they (and each other) were doing and we could relax and let the event run according to plan. Mel truly went above and beyond, stepping up and offering to help with all sorts of jobs. Not only was Mel a true professional (and so dedicated!) but also brought all the positive vibes. Would recommend to anyone planning a wedding. Thank you for everything - we were truly able to enjoy the time we had with our family and friends.
