Please RSVP as soon as you can once you’ve confirmed your availability — it really helps us with planning and sending physical invitations. Simply RSVP right here on our wedding website. RSVPs close on 29 July. If your plans change, just send us a message.
Guests are kindly asked to arrive between 2:30 PM and 3:00 PM for the 3:00 PM ceremony.
We’re hoping for an outdoor ceremony, but we’ll move indoors if the weather doesn’t cooperate.
Smart casual/cocktail/formal - don't be afraid to wear some colours!
After the ceremony there will be group photos, followed by canapés, drinks, lawn games and time to mingle.
Markovina is located in Kumeū, West Auckland — just a 20-minute drive from Auckland city centre and 30 minutes from the North Shore and Auckland Airport. There is plenty of parking available at the venue. Cars may be left overnight and collected by 11:00am the following day. Uber and taxi services are also available. If you’re staying in the city, we may organise a shuttle depending on numbers. Please let us know on the RSVP page.
Due to space constraints, we can only accommodate named guests on the invitation. We appreciate your understanding.
When you RSVP, please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.
