"It's funny, people say moments change people's lives and single moments they do."
From a single choice, a single moment, Aidan set off to Waiheke island where he would be introduced to his future bride, Hannah. Three years later he would propose to her, and four years to the day they met they were married in Russell
"With the Duke's wedding coordinator planning was a breeze. She shared a genuine excitement for our upcoming nuptials and made for such a positive planning experience."
There is a stunning garden area alongside the ballroom which is the perfect place for ceremonies under the historic 150 year old fig tree along with ocean views. The large deck attached to the ballroom overlooking the seas is also a perfect location for your wedding ceremony. The deck is a great wet weather option as it is fully enclosed with clear blinds and heating.
