Art Deco charm, vineyard rows, and the ocean at your side.
Coastal character with a glass of something local.
Napier is known for its unique Art Deco architecture, its vineyards and its warm, sunny coastline. It offers a wonderful range of settings, from beachfront ceremonies to vineyard vows, all wrapped in the relaxed, easy atmosphere that makes Hawke's Bay such a pleasure to marry in.
For couples who want warmth, character and good wine, this is where it begins. Some of our most loved ceremonies have happened on the Napier shoreline and among the vines of a Hawke's Bay estate. The decision is never about choosing 'small'. It's about choosing what matters.
Two ways to say “I Do” in Napier.

From first hello to "I do".
From the first message in your inbox to the moment your ring catches the light over the water, your day moves through four quiet steps. We handle every detail, so you only have to arrive.
A long, no-pressure conversation about who the two of you are, what you don't want and the moment you would quietly choose.
We draft a bespoke sketch with location options from a beachside spot to a Hawke's Bay vineyard, a celebrant we trust and a photographer whose work makes you feel something.
Your package carries a registered NZ celebrant, an exclusive vineyard or beachside location, a luxury bridal bouquet and the groom's buttonhole, professional photography and videography and a fine dining experience for two at a renowned Hawke's Bay restaurant, with optional extras like a private wine tour and tasting and luxury accommodation and honeymoon planning assistance. Every thread, carried so you don't have to.
And the day unfolds the way the best days always do: gently, exactly itself and over far too quickly.
"We came to Queenstown thinking we'd booked a wedding. What we got was an entire morning of our lives placed gently in someone else's hands — and a photograph we'll grow old underneath."Maia & Jack · Cecil Peak · November 2024
