FAQs
Question
Do you have a Registry?
Answer
Your support and presence are truly the only gifts we need. However, if you wish to bless us with a gift, we are grateful for your generosity. We have created a small registry to help with ideas, but would like to stress again that the love and support that you give us already is the only thing that we need! https://www.easyregistry.co.nz/Registry/Gifts/emmaandjoelfebruary7
Question
Is this all of the information you've got??
Answer
For now, yes, sorry! We'll be updating the website with more information as we lock things in. Thank you for your patience!
Question
When should we arrive?
Answer
Even though Emma will likely be late (as always) please ensure you arrive in time to say your hellos and be seated by 3pm - if you're prone to a bit more chit-chat please factor that in!
Question
Where's the venue?
Answer
195 Waipoapoa Road, Google Maps is your friend here! It's approximately 35 minutes from Havelock North (out near Waimarama).
Question
Is there transport available?
Answer
Yes, there is! There will be a bus available from Havelock North town centre (exact location TBC) at 2pm, with a return trip booked to leave the venue at 11pm. Currently there's space for 60 people, please send us a message if you'd like us to lock in a seat for you.
Question
Will it be an indoor or outdoor ceremony/reception?
Answer
The ceremony and reception will both be held outdoors, on grass. There will be a marquee, veranda and plenty of trees for shade and shelter. There will also be an indoor area available for those that need to get out of the elements.
Question
What's the dress code?
Answer
Look sharp, but stay comfortable! We’d love to see you in your best collared shirts and chinos. Leave the jeans in the wardrobe, but feel free to let your toes breathe. If you need a label, AI calls it "country garden chic".
Question
Is cash or card required for drinks or food?
Answer
All food and beverages will be provided by us, no need to bring your wallet! Please make sure you note any dietary requirements when you RSVP to ensure these can be catered for.
Question
Can I bring a gift with me to the venue?
Answer
Yes, there will be a spot for you to leave gifts at the venue. In saying that, gifts are absolutely not necessary, your love and support is all we need. Feel free to have a look at our registry if you'd like some ideas.
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
Kids are welcome to join us for the ceremony and photos but we'd like our reception to be for adults only - it'd be a shame if they had to see any of Joel's dance moves.
Question
Is there cellphone reception at the venue?
Answer
Unfortunately there is no reception at the venue, sorry. Make sure you close all of your important business deals before you head out. There is a landline available for calls if needed.
