Our Mission – recognise, distinguish and honor the exceptional talent found within the vibrant New Zealand wedding and events industry

We’re super-excited to be able to announce Auckland (NZ) as our 9th annual WIANZ awards Gala destination of choice in September 2026.

The date and host location of the awards gala in Auckland is still being negotiated. Needless to say, our 2026 awards gala will be our BIGGEST yet – which is why we’ve elected to OPEN NOMINATIONS 8 months EARLIER than we would ordinarily. We’re opening nominations early to afford as many clients, businesses, industry peers and anyone else opportunity to NOMINATE so many well-deserving wedding creatives across our beautiful nation the chance to to recognised, esteemed, and celebrated in 2026!

Warmest Regards,
