DRESS CODE

FORMAL OR BLACK TIE

Please join us in formal or black-tie attire with an earth-tone palette suitable for a summer wedding at a vineyard.

Women are encouraged to wear elegant gowns or chic cocktail dresses in shades like olive, terracotta, and beige, paired with comfortable yet stylish shoes.

Men should opt for suits or tuxedos with shirts and ties in coordinating earth tones, ensuring comfort with breathable fabrics.

Please consider the weather conditions when selecting your attire. While Wanaka's summer days are typically warm and sunny, the evenings can get a bit breezy. We recommend bringing a light jacket or shawl to keep cozy during the cooler moments.

Please do not hesitate to ask Dennise questions regarding the dress code.

GIFTING

We understand that attending our destination wedding will come with a cost for all guests. We kindly request no wedding gifts as your attendance will be enough for us. Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for.

TRANSPORT

The nearest airport is Queenstown Airport (ZQN), approximately an hour’s drive from Wanaka. Rental cars and shuttle services are available. However, we recommend renting a car for the duration of your stay to explore the stunning surroundings at your leisure.

ACCOMMODATION

To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay, we have put together some accommodation options and guidelines:

We recommend booking as early as possible to ensure availability and cheaper rates.
