Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please RSVP by January 1st, so we can have an accurate headcount for food and drinks :)
Can I bring a date?
Please check your invite for your +1
Are kids welcome?
As much as we love your little ones, we will not be including them in the ceremony or reception.
Only kids attending are our children and nieces and nephews.
Please reach out if you have questions!
What will the weather be like?
In the Bay of Plenty, you can experience four seasons in a day—it's unpredictable! Please monitor the weather forecast and dress appropriately. As our ceremony will take place outdoors, it might be wise to pack an extra set of clothes if rain is anticipated. Let's hope for sunny skies, but it's always good to be prepared!
Where should I park?
There is plenty of free parking in the Te Puna Quarry carpark. The carpark is open from 7am-9pm daily. It is safe to leave your car parked here and retrieve it the following day.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, but our reception will be in the Gallery
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Attention, ladies! We kindly request that you avoid wearing stiletto heels for this occasion. The Quarry features various terrain, including grass, dirt, and rocks. If you plan to explore the area, we recommend opting for chunky heels or sandals to prevent damage to your shoes or any potential accidents. Your comfort and safety are our priority!
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Yes!
We would love for you to take photos and share them with us!
However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony and please no posting of the bride or groom on social media until we have :)
Please download the Joy app, as you can upload any photos you take during the day and share them on here for us to enjoy!
