A MECHANICAL BULL!

Honestly, is there anything cooler that you could have at a wedding!

Congratulations S+K, you guys rocked your special day!

Wow! The photography from Wildflwer Photography captured the beautiful, fun memories you and your guests will have for a lifetime. Shout out to George & Co. and wildandgingerflorals as well as so many other vendors who contributed to such a flawless day.

Manawatu is such a beautiful place to get married, not only for the rural views but for the amazing and talented people/businesses we have around.

Who wants more sunshine,
WE DO, WE DO! (and our lawns do) 😂

Has anyone else had enough of the afternoon downpours?

We can't wait for summertime to be in full force 🌞. Will we all complain about being too hot - we'll try really hard not to!

Apart from the beautiful blue sky in our photos, check out the special old christening basin we have on display between our main venue and toilet block. We love it ❤️

Hopefully these images give off some inspiration 💥

Our tables can have 6 or 8 chairs surrounding. This is all dependant on using a single table or multiple together. 🪑

A & T Quine 🔥

I have to tell you, I had the HARDEST time only picking 10 photos from their 2020 wedding. No wonder though as captured their love & pure joy in ever image!

I love Alex's message she sent with these, "I just took a short trip down memory lane and it was so emotional! You forget so quickly! It was just the best day ever".

So true, this sums up why weddings have photographers ❤

NEW TO THE TE PUNA CREW!

Hi, I'm Nikki 👋
Most of you will know me as the one who pops up in your emails to see how your wedding prep is going. If you need any guidance I am always here to help! [email protected]

Just for fun here are 5 things about me...
1. I am in LOVE with all things Te Puna - that is why hubby and I choose it for our wedding day (hence the photo used 😜).
2. I would find it extremely hard to pick between pasta and chocolate if I had to pick one food for the rest of my life.
3. Terrified of spiders, clothing is coming off (no hesitation!) if someone says there is one on me.
4. Happiest at home in my pyjama pants and dressing gown/Oodie.
5. Most weeks Gráinne (Te Puna venue owner) and I have coffee. Honestly, I'm not always sure what we talk about because of our lovely children but it's my favourite time of the week 🥰

I cannot wait to assist and meet more of you during the upcoming wedding season ❤️

Our festoon lights are up and GLOWING!

Festoons are traditional, big bulb garland style lighting that will introduce a beautifully soft, ambient light while everyone dances well into the night.
We cannot wait to see them in action!
