Tell us about yourself.
My name is Georgia and I am a proud Queenstown local who has spent my life immersed in the beauty of this incredible region. Growing up next to the Queenstown Gardens has given me a deep appreciation for nature, which I bring into my work as a Wedding Executive at Millbrook. With seven years of experience as a wedding photographer, I have a genuine passion for everything wedding related. I adore capturing those authentic moments that tell a couple’s unique story. Beyond my professional pursuits, you’ll often find me unwinding with my small petting zoo and enjoying quality time with my daughters as they paint my face in makeup.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my role is the opportunity to be part of one of the most significant days in a couple’s life. I thrive on the creativity of wedding planning, from conceptualising a couples day, to ensuring every detail is perfectly executed. The joy in witnessing couples’ emotions as they exchange vows is truly heartwarming – you will always see me shedding a tear. I relish in building relationships with couples and helping them transform their visions into reality, making each event uniquely special.
What is it that makes a Millbrook wedding so special?

Nestled among breathtaking mountains and world-class golf courses, our venue offers a magical backdrop for any wedding celebration. The Millbrook team is like family – dedicated, welcoming, and passionate about creating unforgettable experiences. Our commitment to service and the beauty of the location are what set us apart.
Do you have any tips for choosing a wedding theme?
Choosing a wedding theme is all about authenticity. I encourage couples to reflect on their passions and the elements that define their relationship. Incorporating personal touches that resonate with your journey will not only make your wedding unique but also create lasting memories. Remember, the most important aspect is to enjoy the day with your loved ones and celebrate your love story!
