More about Diane Bedford

I grew up in the Wellington region then moved for Auckland for four years, but I have lived in Tauranga for the past 24 years.

I am married to Mark and between us we have 6 grown children who are now all in their twenties.

Mark is a Pharmacist and we part own a large medical centre pharmacy in Mt Maunganui where I've worked part time for the past 12 years.

In 1998 we won the prestigious Regional Business of the Year Award & we were the first pharmacy in the world to receive an ISO Quality accreditation.

Over the last 2 years I have also worked for an Auckland company doing Home staging in the Tauranga region.

My love of sharing my home with friends & family has extended to organizing many successful events over the years and this coupled with a creative flair has led me to my new career: Wedding Planning.

This is more of a love than a career as it would be an honour and a pleasure to create a day for you that will be full of truly beautiful memories you will treasure for the rest of your life.
