The Winora Story
The Name
Studio Winora is named after Winston and Nora, my two Mini Schnauzers, but the meaning reaches further than that.
It represents the feeling I wanted this space to hold.
Warmth, familiarity, and quiet joy.
As a celebrant and creative, I dreamed of a place designed with care.
A place where couples could marry without overwhelm, and where artists could create without distraction.
Somewhere calm.
Somewhere intentional.
Somewhere that felt like an exhale.
So I built it.
The Building
A heritage space, reimagined with care.
Housed inside a former cinema, Studio Winora carries decades of quiet history within its walls. High ceilings, textured surfaces and softened light set the tone - grounding the space in character without distraction.
Rather than erase the past, we chose to honour it.
The studio has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its original charm, while introducing modern comforts that allow events, workshops and ceremonies to unfold with ease.
The result is a space that feels layered, calm and timeless - one that adapts beautifully to whatever story is being told within it.
Our Philosophy
Less noise. More meaning.
Everything at Studio Winora is guided by one belief, that the most memorable moments don’t need excess to be powerful.
We value:
small guest lists and considered experiences
thoughtful pacing, not rush
atmosphere over spectacle
warmth, calm and genuine connection
Whether it’s a wedding ceremony, creative workshop or intimate gathering, our focus is always on how the space feels - not just how it looks.
What We Offer
Studio Winora is home to:
Intimate weddings and elopements
Creative workshops and events
Styled shoots and brand content days
Private gatherings for thoughtful creatives and small businesses
Each booking is intentionally curated to suit the scale and purpose of the event. We work with a limited number of bookings to ensure the space - and the experience - remains considered, not commercial.
A Note From Krissy
Studio Winora was created after years of working in weddings and creative spaces - watching moments feel rushed, overstyled, or lost in logistics.
I wanted to build something different.
A space where couples could feel present on their wedding day.
Where creatives could host workshops without noise or pressure.
Where beauty felt quiet, not performative.
Studio Winora is a reflection of that vision - shaped by experience, softened by intention, and designed to welcome moments that feel honest and unforced.
I can’t wait to welcome you into the space.
