Let us create your dream.
Kelly and Andrew make a great team. Kelly is full of the ideas, gets them on paper and Andrew makes them come alive.
The idea for Utterly Marquee + Event Hire came about when Kelly and Andrew planned their own wedding on Waiheke Island during Easter Weekend at a private home in 2015. We needed to bring EVERYTHING over and many different suppliers were used. We loved the planning, organising and bringing our vision alive (Kelly may have written a brief for the wedding!). That is when the idea for us doing this for a living came to life. Fast forward 4 years to November 2019 and the opportunity to purchase a wedding and event hire business came about. We jumped at the chance. We knew we wanted to elevate the existing brand and bring our own passion and expertise but was great to have a starting point to build from.
Previously in Marketing, Kelly has launched several brands, many products, showcased at many an expo here and overseas. If there was a conference or party at work, Kelly was the one coming up with a vision and making it happen. For fun, Kelly loves celebrating her birthday month, spending time with the family and is a sucker for a good love story. Kelly is the person you discuss your dream with on the phone, via email or in person.
Creating beautiful spaces and making sure they work well for the client is what Andrew is all about. For the last 10 plus years, Andrew has been a carpenter renovating and extending character homes. Prior to that Andrew was in hospo and ran several bars in NZ and overseas. He even has a trophy for bartender of the year. Andrew created a "Love" Sign for our wedding and would love to create something special for your next event. When Andrew isn't building new pieces, he is organising the warehouse or helping the team set up your marquee.
We would love to help you create your next event and make it utterly amazing.
Love,
Kelly & Andrew
