Elegant and Wild was born out of a love for many things - love of people, love of parties, and love of making dreams come to life.

Since 2021, Elegant & Wild has planned and delivered a broad range of celebrations across New Zealand, and made close connections with dedicated vendors, stylish venues and beautiful couples.

ABOUT
ELEGANT & WILD

Hi, I’m Alicia

Founder of Elegant & Wild, lead planner, stylist, and your trusted partner in creating unforgettable weddings.

Originally from the North East of England (accent included), I bring over 12 years of experience delivering bespoke events and large-scale outdoor festivals. You’ll often find me in hi-vis, managing musicians at some of Wellington’s most popular street festivals like Cuba-Dupa, Newtown Festival and Wine & Food - to name a few. In my professional life, I am also a seasoned project manager - timelines, budgets, and big-picture planning are firmly within my expertise.

I genuinely believe that every couple should be able to celebrate their wedding in a way that feels true to them. Whether embracing tradition, redefining it, or crafting a completely unique celebration, I design wedding days that reflect your memories, values, and personal style. From sleek city soirées to garden parties with a twist, or relaxed beachside gatherings, I ensure your day looks and feels distinctly yours.

When we work together, my goal is for you to feel completely at ease, confident that you’re in capable hands and free to enjoy every moment of your engagement without stress.

If you think I could be the planner, stylist, or coordinator you need for your wedding journey, please get in touch. I’d love to share the excitement with you (preferably over wine!).
