Your own Dunedin list of wedding venues

Wedding venues include country houses, barns, hotels and restaurants with a dedicated events team. The owner or events manager chooses recommended suppliers carefully, because every supplier on their list reflects on the venue.

Dunedin sits in Otago, New Zealand, close to Queenstown, Christchurch and Nelson. Build the Dunedin list first, then add the surrounding towns as their own segments, so you always know which part of the area you already covered.

Every week you wait, the wedding venues in Dunedin that are ready to buy talk to someone else. The businesses that reach them first with a relevant offer are the ones that get the reply.

Fields worth recording for wedding venues in Dunedin

What slows down prospecting wedding venues, and the fix

Venue lists mix dedicated venues with hotels that host a wedding now and then.

Record venue type and capacity in fields and send to a segment of dedicated venues first.

Enquiries go to weddings@ or events@ rather than info@.

Email from domain lets you tick weddings@ and events@ as prefixes alongside the usual ones.

Venues ask you to follow up after the season, and it slips.

Tag the contact and add a note, then filter on the tag when the season ends.

Angles that get wedding venues to reply

Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets wedding venues to click.

  • Ask how to join their recommended supplier list rather than pitching couples directly.
  • Share work you did at a similar venue so the manager can picture it in their space.
  • Offer to help at an open day or show, which venues use to win bookings.

Emailing wedding venues in New Zealand

In New Zealand, the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 requires consent for commercial electronic messages. Consent can be express, inferred from an existing relationship, or deemed when someone has conspicuously published their work address without saying they do not want messages and your message relates to their role. Every message must identify the sender and include a working unsubscribe facility. This is general information, not legal advice.

Weekdays early in the week and the off season are best, because weekends in the wedding season are fully taken by events. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
