Outdoors & indoors — the ceremony is outdoors in the shade of the trees; dinner and dancing will move inside, so bring a wrap for the evening.

Parking — there's plenty of free parking on site. Leaving your car overnight is fine too, just have it collected before 11am the next day.

Weather — late-summer Auckland is usually warm and sunny (~24°C). It could turn on us though, so pack accordingly.

Good Questions

Q & A

Please RSVP by Saturday, 10 October 2026 so we can confirm final numbers with the venue — head to the RSVP section below.

As much as we'd love to host everyone, our numbers are limited — we're only able to welcome the guests named on your invitation.

We adore your little ones, but to keep numbers manageable, the day is limited to those explicitly invited.

Formal attire — and if you'd like to lean into the day's palette, soft pastel tones are especially welcome.

Women — Midi, ankle, or floor length all welcome, pastels and bright colours encouraged, preferably not black or white.

Men — Suits please (any colour), tie or bowtie preferred but not required.

Calling all heels-wearers: skip the stilettos. There are a few grassy and gravel patches between the ceremony and reception, so chunky heels, wedges, or sandals will treat you (and your ankles) much better.

The ceremony is outdoors in the shade of the trees; dinner and dancing move indoors for the evening.

There's plenty of free parking at the venue. If you'd like to leave your car overnight, that's no problem — just have it collected before 11am the following day.

Absolutely — just not during the ceremony itself. Our MC will let you know when phones and cameras can come back out.

Gifts

Your Presence Is Present Enough

Truly, having you there is all we're asking for. If you'd still like to give something, we'll have a wishing well on the day, or you're welcome to put something toward our honeymoon using the account details at the link below.
