Gifts

Your presence on our wedding day is the best gift of all (especally if you are paying for a villa on the day), but if you would like to help us create special memories on our honeymoon, we've set up a wishing well where you can contribute to our honeymoon fund.

Again, guests who are staying at the Lodge on the day of the wedding are asked not to give any additional gifts.

Little Ones

As our wedding will run late into the evening, we’d prefer to keep our big day for adults only.

If you are staying in one of the villas, kids are welcome to stay in here. However, we would ask that they stay in the villa for the duration of the wedding minded by a babysitter organised by the parents. The Lodge has trundlers that can be brought into the rooms, however, there is a limit based on age. Please let us know if you would need these.

There are several couples we are inviting that have small children, we believe there are about 5 to be born between now and our wedding.

Below is a list of babysitting agencies in the area, if you are interested in grouping up with other parents we can connect you together.

Speeches

We welcome anyone to give a speech, however there won't be an open mic on the night. If you would like to give a speech, please let us know when you RSVP.

The Venue

Our ceremony and reception will both be at the Gibbston Valley Lodge & Spa.

The ceremony will be held outside on a grassy area.

All areas of the venue are wheelchair accessible.

Photos and Social Media

Please refrain from taking photos and videos during our ceremony, please leave the photography to the professionals.

For all other parts of our wedding weekend, please feel free to take as many photos and videos as you want! We will have an area on this website for you to upload photos during and after the wedding. Where we will also be uploading our professional photos after the event.

Please don't post any photos of the bride and groom on social media until they have themselves.
