I was so surprised to receive this beautiful bunch of flowers last night from the lovely Karen at Waingarara Valley Wedding & Event Venue 💐

Not only is it a beautiful local events venue, but they also have their own talented florist on site who created this stunning arrangement.

Such a thoughtful gift and a gorgeous way to finish a very busy event weekend. Thank you so much, you truly made my night 💜

If you’re planning an event, make sure you check them out. A beautiful venue and flowers all in one place!

What a wonderful way to start Meet the Locals Whakatāne 💚

Before we opened the doors to the public, our local clubs, groups and community services came together for a morning of learning, sharing ideas and making new connections.

This album gives you a little look behind the scenes at the amazing people who helped bring the day to life.

Have a look through, tag anyone you recognise and show some love to the people working hard in our community.

This is only Part One, with plenty more photos still to come! 📸

A big thank you from me to the amazing people who help bring Chris Ford Events to life 🖤

This photo shows just a few of my wonderful team, alongside one of our valued friends from the Eastern Bay of Plenty Community Network. We’re also missing some very important team members who were busy working behind the scenes.

Every successful event takes a lot of planning, teamwork and care. I’m so grateful for the people who step in, work hard and help me create events that bring our community together.

Thank you to Sacha for this photo 📸
