Hi, I’m Rochelle Free — Marriage Celebrant and proud organiser of the Bay of Plenty Wedding Show and The Waikato Wedding Affair.
Having worked in the wedding industry for many years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and working alongside some truly incredible wedding professionals throughout the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and beyond. Every year I continue to be inspired by the creativity, passion and innovation that shines so brightly within our industry.
My vision is to create stylish, professional and exceptionally well-organised events where wedding businesses can confidently showcase their services to engaged couples actively planning their special day. With years of industry experience behind me, I’m passionate about creating genuine value for both the couples attending the shows and the wonderful vendors I proudly work alongside.
I also believe strongly in building a supportive and connected wedding community — bringing together like-minded industry leaders who can collaborate, share ideas and help position the Waikato and Bay of Plenty as sought-after wedding destinations.
Love totally, plan locally!
