Guest Numbers Too High for Our Venues

We see you've selected "More than 120" as the number of people likely to attend your wedding. Unfortunately, that's more than either venue's capacity. As 120 is the legal limit of our resource consent at Tui Hills (100 at Abel Estate), it's not possible for us to squeeze in any extras, much as we might like to. Please don't select a lower number in the hope we'll relax the restrictions - we can't. If you think you can reduce the numbers to 120/100 or less that's great, just change the selection above to the lower number - but please be realistic. We don't want you to waste your time.

Q: How does the pricing work?

Styling, the Celebration Package, cake, celebrant and photographer are additional. You can also hire items in the Celebration Package individually. There are no minimum guest numbers, but each season and day is covered by a minimum spend.

Most importantly, you get to choose combinations of items to get to the price that fits your budget. The total cost calculates automatically. No surprises!

A: Yes. You can get a friend, relative or a professional not on our lists.

Q: Can I squeeze in a full reception in the time available?
A: The popup wedding format is aimed at delivering the most important parts of the day – the ceremony, photos at the venue and celebration drinks and canapes. It doesn’t allow time for extensive speeches, a full sit-down meal, bringing in a DJ or band, or elaborate performances.

Q: Can I extend the time on my pop-up wedding?
A: Yes, by an hour from 2.5 hours to 3.5 hours. You can decide which option suits you best when you book.
