Some commonly asked questions that we can answer right here for you! If we haven't answered your question, please don't hesistate to reach out to one of us.
Please RSVP by the deadline of May 23rd, 2026. However, we recommend you RSVP as soon as you know you are planning on attending so we can let our vendors know headcount as soon as possible. You can do this by either using the link provided on the website, scanning the QR code in your invitation, or typing in the link; also attached to your invitation.
There is a dress code for this event! We are having a fantasy/Medieval/Renaissance Faire hybrid wedding, and we highly encourage our guests to dress the part! Have fun! Be creative! Embrace the whimsy! We look forward to seeing all your amazing outfits and costumes!
There is no colour guide but the obvious, no white :)
Due to the very chilly weather in June, our ceremony and reception will be indoors. You will be able to easily step outside should you need a break, or feel too warm.
Due to venue constraints and expenses, only people stated on your invitation are invited to the wedding.
Unless your child is named on your invitation, they are not invited. We love and adore your children, but this event will have alcohol, and we don't believe that is an appropriate environment for children.
We have provided hotel recommendations for every budget in our Travel Information page. If you don't like the sound of those, we highly suggest looking for accommodation in the Riccarton/Christchurch CBD area, as these areas have easy access to public transport.
This is still a work in progress. As of right now, no one has indicated that they need transportation to and from the venue. If this changes or you find that you need transport, please let us know via our RSPV form. More information will be posted on our Travel Information page under Transport Information.
Thank you so much for visiting us! We are so grateful you have been able to make it to beautiful Aotearoa. We have provided a range of activities and spots to visit on our Things to Do page. Prices range from free to $80pp.
Yes, alcohol will be provided for this event. We will be providing box wine, an alcoholic lemonade and a premade cocktail. If this doesn't sound like you, don't fret! Our venue is BYO so feel free to bring along anything that tickles your fancy and store it in the fridge on the premises. Please keep in mind to drink responsibly.
We totally understand dietary restrictions and are fully willing to accommodate to the very best of our abilities. On your RSVP form, there is a section where you can input your restrictions/allergies and we will ensure that there is at least one thing for you to eat.
We cannot guarantee that there hasn't been any cross-contamination, as we will be having a buffet, so if you have a severe restriction/allergy, don't hesitate to bring something you can eat. We don't want anyone going hungry!
While we understand the excitement, our ceremony will be unplugged. We have an amazing photographer who is fully capable of capturing the best angles.
However, we fully encourage pictures and videos during the reception and will be providing a QR code where you can upload all your fantastic shots!
While your attendance is gift enough for us, if you were wanting to gift us something, more information on that can be found on our Registry page.
We are so glad you asked! Here is a rough outline of the day:
1:00pm - 1:55pm — Arrival and find your seat! The ceremony starts promptly at 2:00pm to allow enough time for pictures, so please arrive at the very latest 5 minutes before.
2:00pm - 2:30pm — Ceremony and Legal Paperwork. Ben and I are also not big fans of long ceremonies, so we will try to keep this short and sweet.
2:40pm - 3:00pm — Group photos! Not everyone will be needed for every picture, and once the photos that you are in have been taken, you will be able to go enjoy some food, drinks and socialising before dinner.
3:00pm - 5:00pm — Social Hour! While Ben and I are away taking our photos, please enjoy some drinks, food, socialising, and music before dinner. If you need to pop away for any reason, this would be the perfect time to.
5:00pm - 5:55pm — Slowly start making your way to the dining room for dinner.
6:00pm - 7:15pm — Dinner time!
7:15pm - 7:30pm — Speeches!
7:35pm - 8:00pm — Cake cutting and dessert!
8:00pm - 10:00pm — First Dance and the dance floor opens! Family friendly music will be played until approx. 9:00pm, and then we will have less family friendly music playing.
10:15pm — Send off for the married couple!
