4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Cocktail Attire: Polished but not overly formal. For the gals - think maxi or mid dresses or elegant separates. For men, a well-fitted shirt, T-shirt and/or blazer with tailored slacks.
We’d love for you to join us for drinks and entrees the evening before the day we say "I do"! A lot of guests know each other by now but for those who don't its a great chance to meet. We will arrange for a small bar tab and some entrees to go around!
10:00 am
Golf attire
Before the ceremony, we are splitting up for a bit of pre-elopement fun. The girls can do their own thing and/or hang with the bride while she gets ready for her big day. The boys will head to the golf course for some "light" competition and probably a few lost balls... For the boys who are interested, please RSVP before 26 December so we can make a booking early enough. FYI - Jacks Point offers golf clubs to rent.
6:15 pm - 8:00 pm
We are having a small, private ceremony - just the two of us. It’s something we wanted to do quietly and meaningfully on our own. After we tie the knot we will head to Toast and Oak to celebrate with you all!
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 7:00 pm - Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 12:00 am
Semi-Formal: For the gals - think elegant gowns or cocktail dresses and heels or dressy flats. For the men - think polished suits or dress shirts and tailored pants with loafers. No jeans, cargos or shorts.
There will be a few light bites and drinks to be served for the first hour, prior to our arrival. Dinner will be a multiple course, set menu of the chefs favourites. Please let us know if there are any dietary restrictions.
5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Casual Attire: Dress for fun! For the gals - please no heels and would also suggest bringing a light cardi as it may be cool later on.
Provided we are all still standing after the night before... we have planned a sunset cruise on Lake Wakatipu from 5pm to 8pm for everyone. There will be entrees served and a bar tab to kick things off.
