New blog series "Seven questions with" where we talk briefly to the wedding people behind the scenes...

WHY DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH WEDDINGS?

We own a beautiful historic homestead, with the perfect picturesque gardens to showcase a Wairarapa country wedding!

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT WHAT YOU DO?

We love the variety our businesses offer! As well as the Historic Homestead B&B and Wedding Venue, we also run a fully catered walking adventure (the Whareama Coastal Walk), and we have holiday cottages in the Wairarapa.

DESCRIBE THE MOST UNUSUAL JOB YOU'VE EVER HAD?

We both served 22 years+ in the British Army and had plenty of unusual jobs! Sorry, we'd have to shoot you after we told you any secrets - lol!

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE QUOTE?

"The harder I work - the luckier I get!"

WHAT DO YOU WISH EVERY COUPLE WOULD ALREADY KNOW?

Communication is the most important thing in a relationship - never stop talking to each other.

IF YOU COULD HAVE BRUNCH WITH ANYONE DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE?

That's a tough one - so many influential people to choose from...
