Show Notes
This week, I’m joined by Tess and Hayley, the founders behind Slay My Day, a brand-new, all-in-one platform built to make wedding planning easier for couples and more transparent, inclusive, and accessible for vendors across Aotearoa.
Between them (and co-founder Carla), they bring years of experience across digital marketing, tourism, elopements, photography, and hands-on wedding work. After seeing first-hand how overwhelming planning can be, and how limited or expensive existing directories often are, they decided to build something better.
We chat about: 💜 How Slay My Day came to life and the gaps it’s designed to fill 💜 Why wedding planning can feel so overwhelming, and how having everything in one place helps 💜 Supporting couples to plan their day their way, without pressure or outdated expectations 💜 What makes Slay My Day different from traditional wedding directories 💜 The vendor dashboard, analytics, and why transparency matters 💜 Regional searching and helping couples find the right vendors at the right time 💜 The upcoming recycle marketplace and the importance of sustainability in weddings 💜 Current wedding trends, from smaller, more personal celebrations to doing things differently 💜 Advice for couples planning their wedding right now 💜 Their big-picture vision for the future of weddings and events in New Zealand …and so much more!

Planning a wedding from the other side of the world is no small feat, especially when you’re also moving countries just weeks before the big day.
What happens when you stop worrying about what a wedding is supposed to look like and create something completely your own?
