weddings down south

Reid and I have been engaged for a little while now - and the first time I searched for wedding venues in Dunedin Google didn't really come up with anything!

On my my recent search I found - the Dunedin Wedding Planner and Central Otago Celebrations!!

It has a great directory of businesses that can meet your every wedding need!!

While we where at home over Christmas we actually found a potential venue in Dunedin (although I don't know the price yet, so it might be out of our range). Norfolk House is a beautiful old home in St Clair that would make a perfect wedding venue.

We also went for a drive through to central and found a bunch of great venue options in Clyde and Lauder.

The Post Office Cafe (pub) is a beautiful stone cottage building with gorgeous back garden

chinese garden

after 10 years of development, fund raising, planning, and building the Dunedin's Chinese Garden is open (since I'm not in Dunedin all that often the fact that this post comes about 6 months the actual opening is not that unusual!)

Over Christmas we visited, it was really cool, very peaceful - here are some pics!
