WeddingCrashers will ‘save your special day.’

You could have one of New Zealand’s top singer/songwriters performing at your ‘once in a lifetime’ event! Just call the WeddingCrashers and they will ‘save your special day.’

WeddingCrashers.co.nz is a new Wedding Planner website created by Freelance Writer/Photographer Stuart Williamson and internationally published Wedding & Commercial Photographer Kevin Smith. The pair has come up with a list of services they are able to provide including photographers, video, DJs and live entertainers. Entertainment is such a big part of any wedding day whether it is pre-recorded or a live ensemble and will leave a lasting impression on guests.

WeddingCrashers.co.nz is not just for those getting married in Auckland. The website features a *Directory of over 400 links to businesses nationwide for a range of wedding related products and services. Hairdressers, florists, makeup artists, celebrants and suit hire are just a few of the categories listed from Whangarei to Invercargill.

Who is on the WeddingCrashers play list?
International saxophonist/singer/songwriter Nathan Haines, The Peter Urlich Sextet, Graham Brazier of Hello Sailor, Kirsten Morrell from Golden Horse and original Westie rock chick Jan Hellriegel. The WeddingCrashers can even put couples in touch with Dane Rumble, Midnight Youth or current hit-makers Avalanche City! What about a premium covers-bands such as The Mermaids featuring Jo Cotton, Pulse Band or Lisa Crawley & the Lovelights? New Zealand’s King of Comedy, Mike King, is a registered Marriage Celebrant who will officiate accordingly but book him as M.C. for the reception and clients will see why he is in great demand on the local and international comedy circuit.
Couples after a more subdued approach to their special day have a choice of: the Daniel Ryland Jazz Trio, Alzarae comprising four outstanding tenors, and Will Martin – The Crossover Tenor. Will grew up in Devonport on Auckland’s North Shore and lives most of the year in the UK. His debut album ‘A New World’ entered the UK Classical Charts at number 1 making him the youngest tenor in musical history to do so. Will spends part of the year in New Zealand and will be available during the Rugby World Cup and select dates over summer 2012.

Many of these performers, including instrumentalists, can provide the soundtrack to the Wedding Ceremony with background music as guests arrive and depart or a special song as the Bride walks down the aisle to her ‘happily ever after’. Watch this space – there are more performers to be listed soon!
The WeddingCrashers can also provide Stag & Hen Night entertainment; from fun, party gatherings, to the more risqué…

Who Are The WeddingCrashers?
Stuart Williamson began running entertainment and band booking agencies in the mid 1980's. He worked much of his formative years in radio then music retail in Hawkes Bay, Auckland and Christchurch while at the same time moon-lighting as a club/wedding DJ. Side-lines as a camera operator, voice-over artist and television presenter have given Stuart a wide range of multi-media skills which he is now consolidating with the WeddingCrashers.
Kevin Smith, also a Kiwi, lived and worked in Milan, Italy for a number of years where he honed his commercial photographic skills and began shooting weddings for friends. It wasn't long before he was picking up paid wedding work there and on his return to New Zealand has already been in demand locally. Kevin goes out of his way to make sure the images he supplies are of a very high standard. He colour corrects pictures and ensures his work exceeds expectations.

The WeddingCrashers don’t just crash weddings. They can also bring a professional touch to Engagement Parties, Civil Unions or Corporate Events.
