What to Bring to New Zealand
Flights from Brisbane have been booked with 23kg checked baggage per person plus 7kg carry on. It will be cold, especially at Moonlight Lodge. Pack for the weather! Castle Cliff Lodge has a spa, so bring swimmers if you'd like to use the spa. We will be travelling from Queenstown to Moonlight Lodge via helicopter. Please bring a smaller overnight bag as there will be limited space in the helicopters. While we are at Moonlight Lodge, the rest of your belongings can remain safely in Queenstown at Castle Cliff Lodge. Temperatures in Queenstown are likely to range from 6°C to 20°C with temperatures at Moonlight Lodge are likely to range from 0°C to 15°C. We have our fingers crossed for good weather, but we should also prepare for some rain.
Costs
We will cover the costs of: - all accommodation; - airport transfers to and from Queenstown airport; - transport between Castle Cliff Lodge and Moonlight Lodge; and - all meals and drinks at Moonlight Lodge.
Ceremony Dress Code
The dress code for the ceremony is formal. Guys, if you do not have something suitable to wear, then our favourite place for suit hire (and purchase) is Black Jacket Suiting at Murarrie. Just let them know you are part of our wedding and they will look after you. Ladies, grass friendly heels or flats are recommended. We plan for both the ceremony and the reception dinner to be outdoors (weather permitting). Coats, jumpers and scarfs are all welcomed. If you are inclined to dress within the colour scheme of the wedding, then warm earthy colours are the way to go!
Gifts
Gifts are not necessary. Our preference is for you to use your money to enjoy Queenstown with us.
