Break the Silence #Justice4Jazz, was arranged with blessings from Wilson's father, Chris Wilson, and her sisters, Ambreia and Madi.
Motorcyclists from White Ribbon Riders attended.Some members had travelled from Napier, Palmerston North and Wellington to attend.
The riders took to the stage and called for every man in the crowd to stand up and come forward to make a pledge: "I will stand up, speak out and act to prevent men's violence towards women", which dozens of men from the crowd repeated.
Representatives from Whanganui Women's Refuge handedout white ribbons and information brochures.
Chris Wilson, said he was astounded by the turnout.
"People have got behind this 100 per cent and the support has been there for us since day one," Chris Wilson said.
"I've had people from all walks of life give me help that I wouldn't have believed possible."
Wilson said he plans to save up for a motorcycle and join the White Ribbon Riders to continue raising awareness around violence towards women.
"I've got to carry on doing something and I can't let this go, I've lost my baby.
"I don't want anybody else to go through this."
Friend Ardon England said he was proud to be a part of the event for Jasmine, and was confident the day's message would continue.
"It's bringing the community together and families' closer.
"Everyone is supporting each other which is what anyone needs at this hard time."
At a later gathering also at Majestic Square, Jasmine's mother Brenda Reuben said the day was to honour her daughter.
"This vigil is to highlight that people need to speak up because people aren't at the moment," she said.
"It's time to kōrero, but if we're going to kōrero we need to speak the truth.
"This is a national problem and we need to learn how to speak up."
