Who We Are

Wild Hearts are creative souls who know no bounds.

Wild Hearts was created to inspire hearts around New Zealand. Through our digital Vendor Collection, destination Wedding Fairs, online courses for creatives, dreamy content and editorials.  

We reach the hearts of couples, vendors and event goers alike.We are lovers of all seasons; flux and regeneration are integral to any creative process, so we are constantly exploring, adventuring, designing and recreating to bring you the best content on the market.

 

We are a podium for the lovers, dreamers and doers. Born from a love of all things creative and wildly beautiful, Wild Hearts was built to inspire and elevate the wedding community. We started chasing our wild dreams seven years ago now, and after intentionally fashioning our way forward in the industry, those dreams then started chasing us. Let us help you chase yours too.

 

What started from a small town dream, it is crazy to see we are now in our seventh year as New Zealand’s only Nationwide Wedding Event, with a digital reach spanning the world! We have worked alongside the most amazing brands, celebrated four beautiful Magazines, five incredible destinations, launched  business workshops, online courses and grown the coolest community of like-minded industry leaders that adore New Zealand as much as we do!

 

Run wild with us…

What our vendors are saying

Online Directory

A beautifully curated space to find your perfect wedding vendors. Join the list of industry leaders around New Zealand and Australia.

Our new Directory Packages offer in- depth searches by location or style (making it super easy for couples to find their dream vendors) and a raft of features for our listed partners (such as unlimited images, plus video, social links, brand bio, free social shout outs and more).

 

There are 6 month or 12 month memberships available, plus a premium membership which will include custom brand features on our blog.

 

The new Online Directory is the first of many new updates coming soon to Wild Hearts, as we move our signature “Wild Hearts experience” into a digital format.

 

Just because you can’t celebrate with us, doesn’t mean we can’t bring you the most beautiful inspiration, fashion, real weddings, wild love stories and the very best destination vendors in the wedding industry.

 

AND we want to make this accessible from anywhere in the world, so you can plan your dream day no matter where you are!

What I love about Wild Hearts is that Sam and the team have the ability to see what people need and provide solutions. In this current climate that is a gift. They a have an excellent way of igniting chemistry between vendors and clients and creating an cohesive atmosphere of joy and possibility between all involved.

Destination

New Zealand

Breath-taking scenery, extreme adventure and luxurious wilderness.

New Zealand is the ultimate destination for couples planning a wedding or elopement. With something for everyone, from spectacular mountain peaks to world-famous beaches, and everything in between.

 

Wedding tourism took a huge hit in 2020 as COVID-19 ran rampant around the world. But before that, the number of weddings was on the rise. In 2019 alone, over 19,000 couples chose to say “I do” in this beautiful country, nearly 3000 of those couples were from overseas. To attribute to this growth, Wild Hearts not only promotes the picturesque landscapes through stellar marketing but also provides a network of talented vendors to enable wedding planning from afar.

 

We are passionate about everything New Zealand has to offer and continue to build a global brand encouraging couples to begin their journey in married life with the ultimate adventure here in New Zealand

RUNWAY

A podium for lovers, dreamers, and doers: Both Together Journal and Wild Hearts were built to inspire and elevate the wedding community. Through a print magazine, digital platforms, annual wedding fairs, creative masterclasses, and digital vendor collections, both brands have been instrumental in making weddings in New Zealand and further afield more fashion orientated. Over the last few years alone, founders and good friends Greta Kenyon and Samantha Gerard have changed the face of the industry and they don’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. Constantly dreaming and exploring, they are dedicated to delivering the very best. See how they are taking wedding fashion to the next level at NZFW with a never before seen, elevated wedding show like no other.

Auckland Packages

We have designed a conceptual show for Fashion Weekend; a refreshing take on modern weddings. Without giving too much away the runway experience will be completely different from anything that has ever been presented at Fashion Week. Setting the trends, these two women are the authority on all things wedding for the non-traditional, fashion-focused, style-driven couple. Expect to see direction across wedding fashion and the ways in which we celebrate love.

Bookings for the TOGETHER JOURNAL x WILD HEARTS Fashion Weekend event are by application only.

COVID 19 PLANS 

With the current event disruptions around the world due to COVID 19, we have put some new plans into place for our 2023 Wedding Fairs to ensure a safe beautiful event day for both vendors & guests!

HEALTH & SAFETY 

Wild Hearts believe the safety and wellbeing of our team, our vendors, the event guests and our community are our top priority. 

Full Health & Safety Inductions are given to all Vendors before and upon entering the venue on event day. With an onsite H&S Manager, Venue Manager and Security Staff.

 

If any of our vendors are experiencing any COVID like symptoms, it is recommended they stay home and get tested. Vendors should not participate should they or a direct contact have, or suspect they have, Covid-19.

FAQs

When is payment due?

A 30% deposit is due within 7 days of booking your vendor site to secure your spot. The final balance is due 2 weeks prior to the event date. 

Online directory listings

All 2024 Wedding Fair Vendor packages include a 6 Month Premium Wild Hearts Online Directory Listing. Vendors will be responsible for sending appropriate images and information for their online listing by the month prior to each event. All listings will go live 1 month prior to the event date and will stay on the website for 6 months. 

Do you have payment plans?

Yes, we know exactly what it is like to be a small creative business trying to make your way. So let us know if you would like to set up a monthly payment plan to help make it easier. 

Can I do more than one fair?

When booking into a second fair location we will give you 10% off your selected site package. We would love you to join us for all the events, come celebrate with us around New Zealand!

How many people do you get to the fairs?

Our last few years with Wedding Fairs nationwide exceeded our expectations with a large volume of our target market and also industry professionals through the door, specifically to experience Wild Hearts.

In 2024 we hope to get an even bigger response with the brand now growing rapidly. Our aim is not to get thousands of people through the door, it is to get the RIGHT people through the door. Plus with our large digital reach we have the power to not only reach those that are there on the day, but also hundreds of thousands of couples all around the world! Taking our exposure levels to all the right places, not just your average door count.

Your creative space

All vendor spaces are free standing which means no attaching to walls or the traditional shell-type structure boxing you in and separating you from other vendors. This gives you full creative rein to dream up something which reflects your business and brand, while looking appealing to our guests. We recommend getting in touch with neighbouring vendors to learn what their plans are for either side of your space. Collaborating with aligning brands and creating an experience that couples will remember you by. See our inspiration pages to help with styling ideas.

Stand space

Remember this is not an expo, so please do not treat it like one. Get creative, have some fun and really try to portray the essence of your business in your set-up. Sometimes this can be as easy as a beautiful chair. A backdrop and some pretty florals. We have some wicked vendors we like to work with who are based at each of our different destinations and have a great range of hire and style pieces. Ask our team for a list of local faves.

Power

Power is not included in your stall fee but is available. Please see the Optional Extras section of our online booking form. If vendors are bringing their own extension leads and powerboards, these must be tested and tagged by a licensed contractor within the last 12 months. 

Timber structures and backdrops

We do not supply timber structures or backdrops. Vendors build and bring their own to the event. There are style and hire businesses in each location that might be able to assist with this for the day or put you in touch with an appropriate supplier. Please check with our team about ceiling heights and restrictions in each destination.

Sharing a space with other vendors

We understand what it’s like to be a small business, working with like-minded brands and celebrating business together is something we want to inspire more of. Thats why this year we are allowing more shared spaces. Can’t afford the investment on your own? Why not join with another business and create a magical space together! 

 

All vendor sites are for individual businesses, unless both parties have booked and confirmed this collaboration with the Wild Hearts Team. We will not accept shared vendor spaces on the day without prior approval.

Any additional vendors collaborating on your stand need to be approved by Wild Hearts and will cost $200. This includes a 6 Month Directory Listing, 1 x Instagram Story (worth $450)

Liability insurance

Liability insurance certificates must be provided prior to the event date. For Shed 10 the cover must be to the value of 5 million and the other destinations are 2 million. To be a part of our Wild Hearts events proof of cover must be approved by our Wild Hearts team. So please check your certificates before sending them through to us, and adjust if required. There is also an option of entering under Wild Hearts liability insurance cover for $100 +GST on your booking form, or we can suggest an Insurance Broker to speak to about getting appropriate liability cover for your business.

Insurance for designers

While we do have a very professional well experienced backstage team contracted for our events, things can still go wrong and we do recommend all designers (especially those not attending the events in person) have their own insurance to cover any missing items in postage or any unlikely damages during the event. Wild Hearts will not be liable for any missing or damaged items

What size range of models are we using?

We use a beautiful selection of hand picked models from Red 11 agency in Auckland. Models range from size 6-12. Our shows are to draw inspiration and target a bride who is fashionable, on trend and not one to shy away from something ‘wild’.

What media will we get after the runway show?

We have multiple experienced fashion and wedding photographers on board to ensure you get several images of your runway live in motion. After the show these will be put in dropbox albums for your usage. Wild Hearts and our photographers try to ensure we capture as much of the day as possible, however due to the nature of events, we are unable to guarantee everything will be captured.

How will this benefit my brand?

Previous vendors and designers have received multiple leads and have generated sales from our fairs and runways. Your brand will be showcased in front of many eager brides on the day, and those watching our live feed of the runway, plus our recap blog and posts, and our guests sharing through their social platforms. As well as this, you will be featured within our program for the day.
