We're having a very intimate and micro wedding but we are so lucky to say that there will be 20 people meeting us for the wedding, crossing seas and time-travelling!
Queenstown is one of the more accessible parts of New Zealand and while it isn't Auckland (usually the main point of entry), it's local to so many incredible views and experiences on the South Island.
The wedding will be both indoor and outdoor. We'll start with an afternoon ceremony outdoors with light grazing, followed by a reception dinner and party at the hotel we're all staying.
Once you're arrived at the venue, all transportation will be organized and provided to, coordinated by our wedding planner and hotel contact at Kamana Lakehouse. All you need to do is show up to Kamana!
It's a wedding so please plan to dress formal and appropriately considering both outdoor and indoor locations. It won't be super rugged but we will be on a grassy hill! We encourage you to reference the theme colours as well displayed on the homepage.
The choice is really yours, however the majority of us will be there for at least 10 days. As mentioned, there will be a road trip leading up to the wedding and then we are all staying over the weekend at Kamana Lakehouse for wedding activities. Also keep in mind that most of us coming from Ontario will lose 2 days to travel/time change on either end of our trip!
There's so much there to do that you can research about since it'll vary based on your interests! Here is a great resource to start.
