What do you do when your wedding venue suddenly becomes completely inaccessible just days before your wedding?   This week I’m chatting with Chandni about a wedding story that really proves you can plan all you like, but sometimes you just have to roll with it.   Chandni and her partner had planned two wedding celebrations, including an outdoor wedding in Whangamatā. But when the weather took a dramatic turn just days before the big day, everything had to change. What followed involved some very quick decision-making, a few unexpected venues, incredible friends and vendors, and one particularly wild solution involving a helicopter...   And somehow, despite all of that, they ended up having two really special days.   We chat about: 💜 How Chandni and her husband met, and the sweet proposal that caught her completely by surprise 💜 Planning multiple wedding celebrations, and the lead-up including a trip to India to find their wedding outfits 💜 Creating a wedding centred around good food, great drinks, music and a relaxed atmosphere 💜 The moment their carefully planned Whangamatā wedding suddenly became impossible 💜 The scramble to find new venues and completely rework their plans in just a couple of days 💜 The vendors who went above and beyond when their entire wedding plan was suddenly turned upside down 💜 Turning a friend's backyard into their ceremony space, before transforming a bar into their reception 💜 How they managed to stay present and enjoy the wedding when almost everything around them was changing 💜 The things they chose to let go of, and why the wedding they ended up with was still so special 💜 Chandni's biggest takeaway from the experience, and her advice for couples planning their own wedding   …and so much more!   Wedding Vendors:Photographer: @aliceandrephoto + @jesseandjessieweddings On-the-day Coordinator: @eightyeightevents_ + @dreamevents_nz Florals: @floralcentric Ceremony Location: @brads.warehouse + Private Property Reception Location: normataps Marquee: @raj_tent_club_nz Chairs: @lucyseventhire Tables: @flagship_events  Makeup: @ssarika.makeupartist Hair: @glammedbysilvia  Catering & Beverages: @whiskcateringnz Cake: @olivejaycakes DJ: @privatebybt Dress: @hayesbridal Suit: @workingstylenz Engagement Ring: @naveyaandsloanejewellery Follow Chandni: @__chandnipatel   THE KIWI WEDDING PODCAST LIVE:   We’ve just wrapped our Auckland LIVE event, and I’m still coming down from it!
