Venue Highlight
Beauty and the Barn - Boutique Barn, Puhoi Elopement and Destination Wedding Venue
For many years now I have had the absolute pleasure to work with the team at Boutique Barn. Located only 45 minutes north of Auckland City, this magical little gem of a venue provides more than a beautiful, country garden setting - the icing on the cake is all of the well considered inclusions of the Wedding package.
I cannot start to describe the venue without telling you about Morrae, your host.
If you ever wanted your own fairy godmother... you may have found her!
Morrae is the owner and host of the Boutique Barn, amongst many of her talents she is a prolific gardener and tends to her flowers and gardens with the utmost care and attention.
A lover of her two horses Hollyhock and Lollipop and shares just as much love for her guests as she does her gardens, her horses, her suppliers and vendors. She truly believes that everybody deserves to have beautiful wedding day, no matter your budget.
The beautiful thing about this venue...
is that the main parts of the wedding day are already taken care of. Imagine being able to build your wedding day package they way you want to, with the inclusions that only you want and being able to reduce the noise of all the extra expenses?
In saying this, all you actually need to get married today legally is a celebrant and two witnesses. However, these are such precious memories being made - it only makes sense to capture some of these on camera, get dressed up smart, have a professional style your hair and makeup and who takes care of your whole presentation prior to your ceremony.
Morrae can create your flowers either from her own country garden or from her local connections - these bouquets never fail to impress!!
You may then want some cake and bubbles to celebrate! You name it, the Boutique Barn has it.
If you choose to book Boutique Barn for your Wedding then you have full, exclusive use of the venue. It has the cutest little self-contained Bridal Suite, you can choose to stay 1-2 nights, you can choose a "legals-only" ceremony or upgrade to include more.
Vendor Highlight: Celebrant Laura Giddey IG @celebrantlauragiddey
Laura is such a joy, I love her sense of humour. She is so considerate, kind, compassionate and inclusive. Check out her past couples over on IG or Facebook Wedding Celebrant Laura Giddey. 💍
Of course, I am totally biased because I love to frequent this venue so much - its the people you choose as your vendors that make all the difference on your wedding day. And you will never regret choosing this venue. Rain or shine it never disappoints.
Happy Wedding Planning! - Amy
