Bride Makenzie Smith chats with us about her wedding planning experience and what helped her plan her Waiheke Island wedding. We chat about their love story, clever ways to find vendors, doing what you want to do instead of what's "traditional", and marriage being a new chapter of life. Makenzie has some great tips and advice for creating your dream day. Below you can find the handles for all M & J's vendors and check out photos from their day on IG at @thekiwiweddingpodcast + give us a follow!
