It’s got to work in the budget! And just to add to this little gem, we don’t charge any corkage and we have glassware onsite ready for you to use!
Food, food, food!
Here in Canterbury we are spoilt for choice when it comes to amazing catering and food options. You are bound to find something that works for your style, food preferences and budget. What’s more, we’ve seen a huge variety of styles in wedding food, and we want you to have the choice on what you serve! So, you can bring in any registered caterer to Waipuna – easy as!
We have alpacas!
How could we leave these guys out? They are the coolest animals around and are always very popular with guests at Waipuna! Go and have a photo taken with them if they are feeling photogenic!
While we are talking photos…
Being nestled in the hills over Tai Tapu, you really don’t have to travel far at all for your wedding photos. Let your photographer work their magic around the gardens at Waipuna or go for a short drive up the road further and take advantage of the panoramic views! Whatever you choose, you won’t be away for long, which means even more time for relaxing and enjoying this super amazing occasion with those closest to you!
