Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by 28th November 2025 for our New Zealand celebration!! We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Think garden cocktail—dressy but relaxed, with summer vibes.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

While we sadly can’t offer accommodation (we don’t live in NZ anymore either!), there are plenty of great places close to our venue, Deliciosa, in Havelock North. All of these are within easy walking distance to the celebration, as well as the amazing cafes, shops, and charm the village has to offer: Cherry Grove Motel Havelock North Motor Lodge Te Mata Lodge Harvest Lodge Motel Porters Boutique Hotel The Village Motel We recommend booking early—it’s a popular spot, especially around Christmas time!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

If you're staying in Havelock North, you're in luck—our venue Deliciosa is an easy walk from all the local hotels. For those coming from Central Hawke’s Bay, we’ve organised a bus departing from Hatuma Café at 11:30am. It will head back to CHB after the festivities wrap up—around 5pm, following cocktails and canapés. Just let us know if you’d like a seat!
