REGISTRY WEDDING

20 NOVEMBER 2020 - SIGN OF THE BELLBIRD, CHRISTCHURCH

The Sign of the Bellbird is a stunning location, situated near the top of Summit Road in the Port Hills. It is perfect for elopements and intimate ceremonies! The views over Lyttelton Harbour and Hoon Hay Valley are breathtaking and make for beautiful photos (even on my average phone camera!).

Choosing to get married in the evening, Ryan and Katie’s registry wedding was simply magical. They had only their very closest family members and friends present. Despite the windy weather, the stone heritage hut where we held the ceremony was sheltered and offered complete protection from the elements. It was cosy and intimate. There was laughter, tears and even a toast (yes, pack your chilli bin and champagne, friends!!). A perfect way to kickstart the weekend - and of course, the marriage of a lifetime.
