Our wedding will be held exclusively at Linden Estate Winery, with the reception taking place upstairs at the beautiful Valley d'Vine Restaurant.
We've booked out the entire venue for the day, so you'll have the place all to yourselves while we celebrate together.
Our wedding ceremony is open to all family and friends who would like to witness us getting married.
Once the ceremony concludes, we'll take a large group photograph before beginning family and bridal party photographs.
Guests who have attended the ceremony only will then be thanked for celebrating with us before the reception begins for those holding a reception invitation.
Following the ceremony we'll be hosting an intimate sit-down reception for our invited guests.
Due to limitations, our reception is limited to 80 guests, so attendance is by invitation.
Dinner is fully catered, and we've also chosen an all-inclusive food and beverage package, meaning all meals, drinks, wine, beer and other beverages are covered for the evening.
There'll be no bar tab to worry about—please relax, enjoy yourselves, and celebrate with us.
Please RSVP no later than 11 September.
This helps us finalise seating arrangements, catering and other details with the venue.
There is plenty of complimentary parking available throughout Linden Estate Winery.
Parking is available:
Around the Barrel Room and main winery building
In front of Valley d'Vine Restaurant
Along the entrance driveway if the main parking areas are full
As our wedding falls on Labour Weekend, accommodation throughout Napier books out quickly.

There are also plenty of excellent hotels, motels and Airbnb options nearby to suit every budget.

Most importantly, come dressed to celebrate!
A fully catered sit-down dinner will be served during the reception.

We've chosen an all-inclusive unlimited drinks package, so all beverages throughout the evening are already taken care of (beer, wine, bubbles... oh and peach bomb, pink gin and more on tap (Georgias fav's).
Non-alchoholic drinks are absolutely included as well !
Have a song you'd love to hear?
We're happy to take requests throughout the evening. Let the DJ know during the reception and he might play it - if you tip him well enough (kidding).

Your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift we could ask for.
As we've already built a home together, we won't be having a traditional gift registry.
If you would like to contribute towards our future together, we've created a virtual wishing well instead.
You'll find all the details on the Wishing Well page of this website.
Children are welcome if they've been included on your invitation. If you're unsure, please get in touch with us.
Due to venue capacity, we're unfortunately limited in numbers. If you have any questions, please contact us and we'll do our best to help.
Please arrive before 3:00 pm so everyone is comfortably seated before the ceremony begins at 3:30 pm.
Absolutely. Complimentary parking is available throughout the venue, including overflow parking along the entrance driveway.
We've planned for both sunshine and showers.
If the weather isn't on our side, the ceremony will simply move to the beautiful covered wedding space at the venue.
We're having an unplugged ceremony, so we kindly ask that phones and cameras remain away while we exchange our vows.
Our photographer and videographer will capture every special moment, and we'll be delighted to share those memories with everyone afterwards.
Once the ceremony has concluded, you're welcome to take as many photos as you'd like throughout the evening.
If you're travelling from out of town, why not make a weekend of it?
