Event Planning, Tasting and Styling Showcase

Be inspired, taste delicious food, and learn from industry professionals how to confidently plan, style and cater your Wedding or Event.

This is a unique opportunity to experience, taste and learn from industry professionals in the beautiful surroundings of Waipuna Estate, in Christchurch.

Join us in a relaxed setting to sip bubbly, and taste a selection of canapes from Crisp and Vale, as Lisa from The Event Boutique talks about the importance of setting clear priorities, tips for how to create a timeline to ensure your day unfolds smoothly, along with ideas for how to splurge or save.

As an experienced venue manager, Sarah from Waipuna Estate will share advice, including insider planning tips, share what can go wrong and how to ensure this doesn’t happen at your event!

Be inspired by the beautiful hire collection from The Event Boutique as Lisa demonstrates, and shares advice about styling and creating gorgeous table-scapes. You’ll get to experiment with table-settings by selecting items from their range of gorgeous products, and create a setting you love. Together with other attendees you’ll style the tables, then be seated to enjoy a menu sampling, as Hannah from Crisp and Vale shares advice about catering your event.
