We have hired a shuttle bus to drop guests staying around Whatuwhiwhi/Tokerau area from 10.00pm onwards. You do not need to catch this shuttle, you are more than welcome to arrange your own transport to and from the event. This is just on offer for anyone who would like to use it.
There are car parks at the venue for guests to use.
Due to limited numbers, we are unable to extend this invitation to any additional guests, other than who is listed on your invite. Thank you for your understanding!
The most important thing is to have you with us on our special day. No gifts are expected or needed, however, if you do wish to give us something, a contribution to our wishing well would be much appreciated.
