Romantic private - Garden Weddings

Two sites available

  1. Under the Totara tree in the bush. A beautiful old Totara tree.
    This is an indigenous tree of Aotearoa - NZ. Totara tree is on the protected list, they grow 50 – 80 cm every 2 years, and it is a highly regarded tree by the Maori.
    The roots of the Totara mark out a whakapapa ( line of descent ) and is a genealogical reference point that ties us to Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother.
    The Totara tie us to nature and our roots, and our whakapapa ( family ) which lead us to forge identities and bonds within our whanau (family), hapu ( subtribe), and iwi(tribe) and that place called home.
