The Studio:

Our beautiful Parnell studio offers corporate event planners, brides, function planners and the general public the perfect environment to view the extensive variety of products and services on offer. With its’ interesting curved walls and floor to ceiling windows, the studio gives an air of style and sophistication, while the warm colour scheme of red and rich cream is inviting. Not only does the wonderful natural light flood in from the many windows, but elegant down lighting and wall sconces ensure that the displays are shown to their best advantage. The easy natural flow of the rooms makes it easy for visitors to view all the displays and return to favourites at any time.

Centrally located, with plenty of parking, The Celebration Studio promises to be the perfect place to find all the products and services, a visitor will need, to plan a successful function.

This dynamic mother and daughter team, who, previously,  have successfully run their own independent companies, have now finally joined forces to bring The Celebration Studio to New Zealand. With the right mix of business, marketing, accounting, administration and organizational abilities, this dynamic duo intends influencing the function and wedding industry in a whole new way.

Our motto for life & business:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn-out and screaming "Woo hoo - what a ride!"
