FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by the 1st of December 2024

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

For our evening in the gardens, please dress in black tie. When planning footwear, don't worry ladies, there is no grass to navigate! Although most of the wedding will be indoors, part of the evening will be outdoors—a warm layer is recommended.

Question

Is there parking?

Answer

Parking is available at Gate 1. Just so you know, the gates close at 9 p.m., and re-entry is not allowed after this time. When leaving, the gate will open slowly as you drive over the sensor and reclose afterwards. If you plan to rinse, we recommend arranging an Uber or Taxi instead of leaving your car overnight.

Question

Where at the Hamilton Gardens?

Answer

Please gather at the Hamilton Gardens Gate 1 entrance (off Hungerford Crescent) and our ushers will guide you to the festivities.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Certainly! Please advise us of any dietary requirements when you RSVP.

Question

Is there a gift registry?

Answer

Your presence is an invaluable gift, and we genuinely appreciate your efforts in joining us to celebrate! Should you wish to contribute further, rest assured that any gestures towards our honeymoon via an envelope box on the day will be put to excellent use.  

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We've provided links to our recommended accommodation—the Novotel Hotel, Ibis Hotel, and Book a Bach—on a separate page. Please note that the Maadi Cup Rowing Regatta is taking place in Karapiro the same weekend, which may limit available accommodation. Additionally, several motels in Hamilton are currently being used for emergency housing. If you have any questions about accommodation, feel free to reach out.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we would love to include all the kids, we’ve decided to keep our wedding adults-only, with the exception of our immediate nieces and nephews. If this creates any difficulties, please reach out to us.

Question

Joining us for a quick rinse the following day?

Answer

Please be sure to RSVP separately, so we can ensure we have enough kai. BYO brews.

Question

What's the vibes for kick ons?

Answer

Super casual afternoon round at our place. If the Hamilton heat is cranking, dress to stay cool—kaftans, sarongs, lavalavas, stubbies, and jandals are the way to go. Keen for a dip? Bring your bathers and towels (kids too!). A few light bites will be out around 5 PM—BYO bevys (and a chilly bin with ice if it’s gonna be a scorcher). But Hamilton’s been pretty chilly lately, especially once the sun drops, so plan for 4 seasons!
