Wedding Info.
We're going on an adventure!
Wedding is Sept. 5, 2026 in Hobbiton, New Zealand:
501 Buckland Road, Matamata 3472, New Zealand
https://www.hobbitontours.com/plan-visit/directions/
Time: 3 pm (New Zealand Time)
Attire: Feel free to dress however much you want themed to Lord of the Rings (not required, only if you want to). Etsy has some fun elven accessories, etc. The weather may still be a little chilly (50s) that time of year as it's the beginning of spring for them just coming out of winter, so bring something to keep you warm. Also, the ceremony will be outside in a grassy area and you'll be walking around for the tour after, so wear comfortable shoes.
Hobbiton tour and reception at The Green Dragon Inn to follow the ceremony!
