TIPS
Book soon. We recommend booking as soon as you know that you're coming. Our wedding falls smack dab in the middle of school holidays over here, so spots fill up fast.
Coordinate with friends. A lot of the holiday homes have great spaces for groups, so reach out on our Wedding Facebook page to see if any other guests would like to stay together.
Stay the whole weekend (or even longer)! We know that you're super busy, but we'd love for you to be there for the at least the whole long weekend. If you can, book a place from Thursday to Sunday and get in as much time in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, New Zealand as possible!
