Kimberley & Kyle Apr 2025 “Francis and Karolyn (Perfect Little Weddings) are the team you want arranging your wedding. As per their name, your wedding will be perfect. Ours was everything we had dreamed of. We are glad we picked them.
From our first interaction, they were responsive, organised and personable. We had plenty of questions and they were always happy to answer them. Francis and Karolyn took the time beforehand to ensure we were calm and relaxed. It was comforting to see them on arrival at the venue, and we appreciated that they checked in with us during the reception. We had the best day, and we’ve received positive messages from our guests who had a fantastic time also.
Their vendors are the best at what they do and work together with Francis and Karolyn to ensure your day is the best it can be. We chose the Lowry Bay Yacht Club, which is a lovely venue, made even more magical by the styling of Perfect Little Weddings. The bouquets and flowers at the venue were fresh and beautiful. The photographer and celebrant were a pleasure to work with. The cake and catering were delicious and our guests loved it. We only have positive things to say about Perfect Little Weddings and will recommend them to everyone.”

Fiona & Cameron Dec 2024 “Frances and Karolyn made everything an absolute breeze. After deciding that we wanted a small wedding, with as minimal stress as possible finding them was perfect! We had our Short and Sweet ceremony at the Glass Chapel and I couldn’t have been happier, we had all the trappings of a large wedding but none of the stress. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get married in or around Wellington!”
Kerri & Mark Oct 2024 “Perfect Little Weddings is a great concept, and it really was perfect for our needs. From start to finish, it was a relief to know that Frances & Karolyn had everything under control. Everything was taken care of, so we were able to relax and experience a stress free and thoroughly enjoyable wedding. Great venue, lovely canapés, fabulous flowers & a very delicious cake. Lots of positive comments from our guests. We lucked in with a caring & supportive celebrant, and a top class photographer. We couldn’t have been happier with Frances & Karolyn’s organisation and hospitality – a dream team and super nice ladies. If you are considering this service, be confident you will be well looked after, highly recommend.”
Eleanor & Pascarn Mar 2024 “What a wonderful day we had, thanks to Perfect Little Weddings! Frances and Karolyn created a beautiful ceremony that really took the pressure off us for a perfect wedding.
They were lovely to work with and were happy to help us whenever we had questions or asked for accommodations. Very responsive and presented us with great options for things like the cake, flowers and canapés without being overwhelming!
Overall, it was great value for money, low stress for us and we got so many compliments on our ceremony – highly recommend, especially if you want something special without the usual ‘tearing out your hair’ wedding planning feeling!”
Lucy & Simon Jan 2024 “Karolyn and Frances from Perfect Little Weddings are truly exceptional at what they do. They took all the stress out of planning and delivered a wedding day that was not only beautiful but also seamless, even when the weather didn’t cooperate.
Our wedding on 27th January 2024 was originally planned to be outdoors, but when the rain set in, they effortlessly transformed the space into a stunning barn-style celebration. Their attention to detail, creative vision, and ability to adapt meant that everything still felt magical and perfectly put together.
They were incredibly responsive, answering every question with care and professionalism. No request was ever too difficult, and they went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our day was just right. The vendors they sourced—from the breathtaking flowers to the delicious food—were of the highest quality, making every detail of the wedding feel special.
Thanks to Karolyn and Frances, we were able to fully enjoy our day without stress, knowing everything was taken care of. Their expertise, organisation, and passion for what they do made our wedding not just an event, but a truly unforgettable experience.
If you’re looking for wedding planners who will go the extra mile and create a beautiful, stress-free day, we can’t recommend Perfect Little Weddings enough. Thank you for making our wedding everything we dreamed of!”
Katie & Jason Oct 2023 “Frances and Karolyn were wonderful to work with – they literally took care of everything incl all the small details! We just had to choose cake flavour, nibbles and colour of the flowers and they pretty much took care of the rest which was ideal. We chose to marry at Glass Chapel and it was a lovely venue – perfect for our small ceremony. The day was so simple and easy and beautiful with absolutely no stress or worry. If you are after a simple wedding that is a lovely celebration and easy to organise, then I highly recommend Perfect Little Weddings! Thank you Frances and Karolyn!”

From the moment we talked about availability, to leading up to and then on the day, they were so attentive and caring to us, and all of our guests (esp the kids). They really did think of everything!

Anna & Rob Feb 2021 “Thank you again for the beautiful wedding/reception. Everyone has been raving to us about how wonderful it was. We will of course leave you glowing reviews on both Google and Facebook, it’s the least we could do. We are floating on cloud 9. You’ve got a brilliant business that we will be recommending to everyone we meet. “
Jade & Jacob Sep 2020 “Hi Karolyn and Frances, Thank you so much for everything! It was exactly what we wanted; short, sweet and simple but still beautiful and elegant and decorated so nicely. Every time I looked around to see where Miller was, one of you always had your eye on him and we can’t thank you enough. We know that wasn’t in your job description but we appreciate it so much! The play area was also great and both boys loved it. Yes there was rain but that didn’t matter at all to us. We were just stoked that it all went to plan especially with the uncertainty of covid.”
Lou Reilly Feb 2020 “Thank you Karolyn and Frances, our wedding at St Christopher’s was truly perfect. It was clear to us and our guests that our flowers, delicious cake, and cocktail hour reception were the work of experienced professionals. The venue styling and special details like the kids corner and their little goodie bags were so thoughtful. And your choice of celebrant and photographer was excellent. Nothing was ever a problem, all the challenges we had were met with achievable solutions, and we honestly couldn’t have had a better wedding. If anyone is on the fence about hiring this dynamic duo, there is no need for hesitation. Your wedding will be beyond perfect with Karolyn, Frances, and their team ❤️”

From consultation through to delivery of the main event, communication was great, suppliers they use fantastic and attention to detail was meticulous. If you are worried about not knowing about the look and feel of your wedding with a package – dont! Venue styling was gorgeous and the little customizations they offer to make it feel ‘yours’ will wow you. For a low stress, gorgeous wedding, look no further – definitely recommend!”
Kirsten Kapembwa Dec 2019 “Karolyn and Frances from Perfect Little Weddings are professional angels. They effortlessly created a spectacular, impressive, and beautiful wedding for my husband and I. We weren’t the easiest of clients, with both of us being overseas until 4 days before our wedding day. They responded quickly to all my emails, with no question or request ever to difficult. They really went the extra mile, putting exceptional creative effort into the aesthetics of the day from the small details of flowers to the stellar styling of the event. The services they outsource and arrange (catering, flowers, photography) are of exceptional high quality. Our cake was scrumptious, flowers breathtaking, food delicious, and our photos which were taken by the talented Kirsten Walsh were absolutely incredible. We really couldn’t have asked or desired for anything else. The day was perfect and ran so smoothly thanks to these two organised and professional wedding planners. We were able to relax, laugh, cry and drink without having to worry about a thing. Thank you, again for your service. You go over and above, and truly made our wedding day memorable and perfect.”
Charlotte Rose Nov 2019 “Our wedding really was perfect, and the ladies made it so simple we didnt have to worry about anything. Everyone involved was so kind and supportive, and the styling was beautiful. Couldnt have asked for a better wedding, highly recommended option for anyone wanting a drama free wedding ??”
Maria McKee Feb 2019 “It really was the perfect little wedding, was really well planned down to every last detail including cutting the tags off the grooms suit to improvising with the sand ceromony to stop a disaster. The team they have around them was amazing adding extra touches and personalised our wedding to what we wanted. Thank you perfect little weddings and hopefully your around in 10 years time so we can renew our wedding vows. Cody & Maria”
Marta Machura Dec 2019 “We‘ve had the best wedding experience we could have imagined thanks to Frances and Karolyn! We got married in Makara village, one of the most romantic spots!
Frances and Karolyn really made sure that our semi-spontaneous decision to get married within 5 weeks went smoothly and without any stress! This is priceless! I can only recommend having a wedding this way – my husband and me were able to focus on the things that mattered – our families and friends! Everything a wedding need was taken care of – the venue, an amazing photographer, gorgeous flowers, champagne and canapees, our lovely celebrant and absolutely stunning decorations! We can‘t thank you enough, Frances and Karolyn!”
Hannah Horrocks Oct 2018 “Tony and I cannot be more happy with how our Wedding turned out. Frances and Karolyn did an amazing job of organising everything, and in 9 days! They made the process very simple and were available at our beck and call anytime. The ceremony and reception were set up beautifully and the day ran perfectly.
If you are after a perfect little wedding to share with an intimate gathering of friends and family, that is stress-free, then I recommend these lovely ladies to you, no hesitations.”
From the decorations, the cake, the music, the venue and everything in between, we were blown away with all of it.

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing for Frances and Karolyn at some of their Perfect Little Weddings. They really are just perfect! Weddings are not cookie cutter, but personalised to each couple, and their skills of organising, decorating and hosting are next level. 100% recommend these ladies.
