Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. We are so grateful, some of you are making the journey to Waiheke Island, and others are travelling all the way to New Zealand, to celebrate with us! We feel truly blessed to have everything we need, so please know that gifts are absolutely not necessary. If you would like to give something, a monetary gift would be warmly appreciated, but above all, we are thrilled to share this special day with you.

Waiheke Island We've organized shuttles to Man O' War for the wedding day, so we recommend booking around Palm Beach, Oneroa, or Onetangi beaches. Look at the Transport section for more information on the pick-up and drop-off points. This part of the island is also well connected by public transport. See the Transport section for information on how to get to the island. Auckland We recommend looking around the CBD, Ponsonby, Mount Eden or Parnell for easy access to everything. Auckland is well connected on public transport that can easily get you to the Waiheke ferry terminal. Taxis, Uber, and car rentals are also great options to explore the city and surrounding area.

Auckland The City of Sails! Enjoy the waterfront walk along the waterfront and check out some of the shops in Britomart. Walk to the summit of Mt. Eden, check out the shops and restaurants along Ponsonby Road, or spend some time at Auckland Domain and the Auckland War Memorial Museum. We also recommend making a day trip out to Piha and the west coast beaches. Waiheke Island Truly embodying 'island time' - Waiheke is an escape only a ferry ride away. For the Vancouver folks, imagine if Bowen Island had more sun, great beaches, and beautiful wineries. For something unique to do, look into a winery tour, or even a fishing charter complete with a snorkle or swim off the boat.
