Why We're Excited for the 2026 Southern Wedding Expo
There's something special about seeing wedding ideas come to life.
After months of planning behind the scenes, we're excited to once again partner with Bill Richardson Transport World to bring the 2026 Southern Wedding Expo to Southland. It's a day that celebrates local talent, inspires couples, and showcases just how incredible our wedding industry really is.
For us, it's more than an expo. It's about creating a space where conversations begin, ideas take shape, and couples leave feeling genuinely excited about what's possible.
Meet the People Behind Your Day
One of the best parts of wedding planning is finding suppliers who understand your vision.
The Southern Wedding Expo brings together many of the region's most talented photographers, celebrants, florists, caterers, entertainers, venues and stylists—all under one roof. Instead of scrolling through websites or social media, you'll have the chance to meet people in person, ask questions and see their work up close.
Whether you've only just said "yes" or you're putting the finishing touches on your plans, there's inspiration around every corner.
There's a Pretty Incredible Prize Too
As an added bonus, everyone who purchases their ticket online will go into the draw to win a $3,000 Fiordland Mini-Moon.
It's the perfect excuse to start dreaming beyond the wedding day itself—a chance to unwind together and experience one of New Zealand's most spectacular destinations.
Come and Say Hello
At STAC Weddings, we love helping couples create celebrations that feel effortless, personal and beautifully considered. Whether that's a marquee overlooking the countryside, a styled reception filled with thoughtful details, or simply helping bring all the moving pieces together, every wedding starts with a conversation.
If you're coming along to the expo, we'd love for you to stop by our stand. Bring your ideas, your questions, or just your excitement—we're always happy to chat.
