Thursday – 16 November 2023

Central Otago Wine Tour (starting 1pm from Wānaka)

We’ve picked out some cool vineyards around Wānaka and have organized a group wine tour for tastings and small bites. This will be an adults-only event. 🙂

Friday – 17 November 2023

Hike + Welcome Dinner

Hiking was a big part of our first New Zealand trip together as a couple, and we’re excited to spend a day doing it with you! There will be a few guided hikes for you to choose from, and then we’ll end the day with a welcome dinner.

Saturday – 18 November 2023

The Big Day!

Not much we want to reveal for this, except that we’re super excited to invite you to Rippon Hall for our ceremony, reception, and after-party. Be prepared for an evening of eating, drinking, and dancing! Dress code: cocktail attire.

Sunday – 19 November 2023

Recovery BBQ

In the spirit of recovery and reflection, join us for an outdoor Kiwi barbie. There will be plenty of food, lighter drinks, and a whole lot of Mandy and Thom reflecting on how life may or may not change post-marriage. Open to advice and speculation.

RSVP

Flights & Travel Visa

Flights

We strongly recommend flying in and out of Queenstown Airport, which is the closest and most convenient entry and exit point, just 1 hour’s drive from Wānaka.

Alternatively, you can fly into Christchurch International Airport for a longer, more scenic 5-hour drive to Wānaka.

Travel Visas

If you are traveling on a passport that requires a travel visa for New Zealand, apply for one here and allow 48 days for it to come through.

If you are travelling on a passport from a visa waiver country, you will need an NZeTA, which takes 10-15 minutes to fill in and 3 days to process! More information here.

Getting to Wānaka / Car Hire

Driving is by far the best way to see and experience New Zealand! We recommend renting a car to drive to Wānaka itself and to explore the rest of the South Island.

Please see the links below to see what’s available:

We have been offered a 10% discount on car hire via Thrifty using code 12234667

Accommodation

We’ve reserved some apartments in Wānaka for three nights (16-19 November). These are centrally located, personally vetted, and multi-bedroom apartments that we got at a good rate! In the interest of community, we’re trying to keep everyone together and plan to put you in apartments with friends/family you know and would be comfortable with!

Please let us know in your RSVP if you would like to stay at one of them, or prefer to arrange your own accommodation.

Things to do in Wānaka

FAQs

When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP by May 1st, so we can have an accurate headcount and finalize our planning.

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to space constraints, we might not be able to accommodate your plus ones. If we haven’t explicitly invited your partner, please reach out to us for more details!

Are kids welcome?

We love kids. Let us know if you are planning to bring yours, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them!

Babysitting services are also available if needed.

What will the weather be like?

November is spring in Wānaka, and the weather is generally mild to warm, with average daytime temperatures ranging from 16°C to 23°C (61°F to 73°F).

The wedding will be largely outdoor, but we’ll bring the party inside if/when the temperature drops!

What should I wear?

Cocktail attire!

Ladies, come in a summery dress, gown, or jumpsuit. Do not wear stilettos! Most of the wedding will take place on grass so we suggest chunky heels or dressy flats.

Gentlemen, come in your favorite button-down collared shirt. Feel free to accessorize with a jacket or tie, but keep it classy and refrain from wearing shorts and sandals.

Will transport be provided to and from the wedding venue?

Venue transport will be provided on the day – more information to come.

Is there a gifts registry?

Please, no gifts! However cliché, your presence is truly all we want.

Whom should I call with questions?

Feel free to drop a WA message to Amanda (+65 8428 2344) or Thom (+1 646 640-7780) with any questions you may have (or just to say hi :))
