KIND WORDS
We cannot speak highly enough of Sophia and My Waiheke. We organised our wedding on Waiheke from Australia, and she was so incredibly valuable to us. Her knowledge of the area and connections with vendors is extremely helpful. On top of that, she is incredibly talented with styling and has a great ability to turn your vision into a reality. Our wedding was just breathtakingly beautiful and surpassed our expectations. We didn’t have to worry about a thing on our wedding day because she was all over it, running the day as smooth as possible. If you are having your wedding on Waiheke… you must use My Waiheke!

Sophia and the team at My Waiheke are true blue professionals and masters at what they do. From the first conversation I had up until the wedding day, we were totally on the same page about the look/feel/style. I felt at ease, taken care of and knew that no matter what the big day would look outstanding. When we had to move dinner inside (originally meant to be outside) the morning of the wedding due to heavy winds, I was completely at ease with the last minute change knowing that the My Waiheke team had it handled. Lo and behold, they took my vision above and beyond to create the perfect day! Could not recommend them enough.

Sophia Hoadley from My Waiheke, was an absolute pleasure to work with and managed to skilfully co-ordinate logistics, furniture, lighting, & incredible styling to create an amazing 50th at Man O' War vineyard. She was involved form the start , had great ideas, listened and engaged with all the obstacles that come from a hard to reach site. I would highly recommend her to all my friends and would use her many talents again. We were very happy with My Waiheke, as were our 160 guests!

We wanted to send you an email to say thank you. Thank you for making our wedding one we have only ever dreamed about. You absolutely nailed the vibe we were after, we couldn't have asked for anything more! From the ceremony to the reception, we loved every single aspect. The day honestly feels like it was a dream. We know how much work went in from your end, not only to plan the wedding but above that the extra stress of re planning the wedding in a week due to the pandemic! But somehow it turned out better than the original one we planned! Once again from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You made it one we will never forget.

I want to express how perfect our day was. Thank you so much for everything - it was all we hoped and more. And thank you for sorting everything - the styling was like it had been lifted from my imagination, the location was stunning and the suppliers were wonderful. I wanted to express our thanks for making our day so special.

Sophia and her team helped us bring together the most perfect wedding day, which was no easy feat given we aren't even based in New Zealand!! Her expertise, calmness, style, taste and all around amazing-ness really meant that on the day, we didn't have a thing to worry about. It was such a seamless operation - we could not have organised the day (and the day after!!) without the My Waiheke team's services.

We had the most incredible experience working with Sophia and the MY WAIHEKE team to organise our wedding. When Sophia and I met for the first time, we knew we talk the same language and are very like minded. She was overflowing with fabulous ideas. We worked and communicated efficiently all along the way thanks to the structured ’to do’ lists and documents Sophia provided. Our wedding day was as seamless and smooth as we could hope for which reflected the professionalism and dedication, attention to detail and passion of Sophia and her team. Our reception took place at Mudbrick restaurant which is stunning as it is, but Sophia took it to the next level. Organising a wedding can be pretty overwhelming at first but looking back, I absolutely enjoyed every step and phase of the process without feeling stressed or worried. Having someone like Sophia by your side who is guiding you through step by step the process, connects you with all the right people and ensures everything is going to plan on the day, is absolutely priceless and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We had the most fabulous wedding day and are absolutely grateful for the magical experience. Thank you Sophia and the MY WAIHEKE team!
