David and Teri saying I do at Tarureka Estate in the Grove.

“A week of wild Wellington weather and a Powercut couldn’t of scripted it any better”

— David & Teri

It’s been a whole year since I’ve been back to @tarurekaestate and what a stunner of a day to back to it. David and Teri, super lovely, ridiculously chilled, authentic people who added their sweet small details and pops of colour. With a week of hellishly typical Wellington weather in the build up to the big dance we scored a stunner of a bluebird day. Working with a bunch of my Welly and Wairarapa faves and topped off with some super lush florals by @the_wild_flower_wgtn - check out some snaps and how good are David’s boots, damn boy they some spicy shoes!!!

“In 1999 the Lourie family established an events venue at Orlando Country Estate, in the Rangitikei.”

— Orlando Country Club

Designed with weddings in mind, Orlando Country Palmerston North includes spectacular views overlooking the manicured rural landscape leading seamlessly to the Ruahine Ranges, allowing wonderful ceremonies including the magical Orlando Chapel or courtyard setting.

They have created the perfect backdrop to capture precious moments before inviting guests to celebrate with an Orlando Country reception.

An all in one venue space, from the newly built cottage to get get ready. Multiple sites to hold your ceremony. Enough space to erect a marquee if you wish and a beautiful dining and dance hall for the reception with catering, staff and drinks provided. Your guests can be entertained with drinks and canapés at The Pavilion or go for a hit on the iconic driving range.

No wonder it is one of Palmerston Norths most sort after wedding venues.
