About the guide
An honest guide to getting married on the island
Venue websites say “pricing on request.” Couples trade real quotes in group chats. This guide puts those numbers in one place — fees, minimums, capacities and curfews — with a short, candid note on every venue.
Made in Victoria. Starting with the South Island and working north.
How the guide works
01
Real numbers, up front
Fees, minimum spends, capacities and curfews from actual quotes and venues’ own price sheets — not “starting from” brochure prices.
02
Candid notes
A line or two on every venue: what’s included, what isn’t, and what catches couples out.
03
Labelled listings
Venues and vendors can pay to be featured. It’s always marked, and it never changes what we write.
