VENUE: Mt Vernon Lodge

Mt Vernon Lodge is a private and tranquil location nestled away in beautiful Akaroa, with stunning views over the Akaroa Harbour. It is hosted by David & Amanda, who are experienced hosts who are always happy to help.
There are many additional accommodation options (at additional cost) available for your guests, if you choose.

PHOTOGRAPHER: A Wedding White Pages photographer

You have two options to choose from:

60 minutes of photos (this option comes with the package)
90 minutes of photos (choose this option from $200 more)

The time for each photography option starts at the beginning of the ceremony.

You will receive a gallery of images four weeks after your wedding, with a ‘sneak peek’ of five images within two business days.

CELEBRANT: Anna Flanagan, Beth Dunn, or Jane Godfrey

These celebrants love micro weddings! There’s something so special about inviting your closest friends and family to celebrate your love with you. We do the legal bit first, with a beautiful personalised ceremony, where you can share your own vows (which your celebrant will help with) – then you can get into the celebration straight afterwards! The price of the celebrant doesn’t include your marriage licence fee of $150.
