Who said you have to hire a wedding venue and pay a fortune to have a fabulous wedding? Why not have your wedding at your home?

My enormous congratulations to these gorgeous couples who recently married in their own/family homes….. creating a warm friendly, family atmosphere and a truly memorable occasion.

Steve and Ange under the 180 year old Pohutukawa

When you have a 180 year old Pohutukawa in your backyard, you’d be crazy not to feature it in your wedding. Steve and Ange had a rip roaring time at their Kumeu home (complete with burnouts by the bride)

Peta Kylie & Carlus

Kylie and Carlus utilised the wonderful native bush area at the rear of their home, to create a cool dappled wonderland for their big day.

Stevo and Hazel

Stevo and Hazel’s fabulous rustic farm setting – complete with hay bales, at their Muriwai home, was a real treat. Even the cows and horses seemed to enjoy it.

Jared and Abby

Big trees, open spaces, lots of family and friends and big smiles were the order of the day for Jared and Abby, when they married at their family home in Kumeu.

Sophie & Shaun’s ‘surprise wedding’ @ their Helensville home

Sophie and Shaun of Helensville decided to shock their guests with a surprise wedding. The guests thought they were attending a house warming and baby shower.

Sophie, Shaun & Tyler make it legal

A lovely touch at their relaxed wedding, was that Shaun’s son, Tyler (8) acted as a witness.

Weddings are like fingerprints; each one is different, unique and beautiful.
