{Behind the Veil: Wedding Venue} Jo Lindsay, Grandview Gardens Outram Grandview Gardens was borne from Jos passion from gardening and urge to share their beautiful 10+ acres with the world. Couple this with a knack for organisation and a can-do attitude, Jo has built Grandview into one of Dunedin’s most popular wedding venues – she’s already been getting enquiries for 2016. With close to 200 weddings under her belt, Jo is an incredibly experienced resource to have. You aren’t just hiring a venue, but hiring a whole service, with Jo offering decorating hiring, wedding planning, and advice. I asked Jo what sort of behind the scenes work she does in the lead up to the wedding, and unsurprisingly she said gardening. But phone calls and emails to coordinate other wedding vendors is something else that keeps her busy. Lucky Jo is pretty onto it and organised, as another non-glamorous aspect of the venue is keeping up with all the red tape, compliance requirements and government regulations. Jo says: It’s important to ensure all the t’s are crossed and I’s are dotted to ensure we have a professional and stable business. Thanks Jo for allowing me a little insight into what goes into running a wedding venue. PS: The beautiful couple pictured are my beautiful sister-in-law Nikki and her husband Kyle (photography by Lisa Reid Photography). I couldnt pick a sensible number of photos to share - they are all amazing - so I played it safe & just chose two. But Jo has hundreds of photos from weddings up on her Facebook page, so go check them out.
