One of our absolute favourite parts of a Longfords wedding is witnessing those beautiful, emotional moments that sneak up on you, the kind that make your hearts full and eyes water (and ours too).

That’s why every couple who books with us receives a custom Longfords handkerchief, a small but meaningful keepsake to hold close as you wipe away those happy tears on your big day.

If you’ve just booked your date with us for 2027, keep an eye on your letterbox, your little Longfords package is on its way! 🤍

Courtney + Reade. Our final wedding of the season, and what a beautiful note to end on. Their day was intimate, deeply emotional, and filled with so much love. A celebration surrounded by their closest, with laughter, and tears shared for those who couldn’t be there, but were remembered in the most meaningful ways.

There was something truly special about this one, Courtney & Reade are a couple so grounded in what really matters and we will remember their day for years to come 🤍

Lake Ōkāreka - a place where memories are made ♥️

Charlotte and Campbell share a deep connection to our beautiful lake. For Campbell, it’s especially close to the heart as his family has had a beloved bach here since he was just a wee one. Making Longfords all the more meaningful on their special day, another memory created in a place that’s quietly tucked away from the world, holding a little extra magic for those lucky enough to know it.

We've been a little quiet over at Longfords lately as we recently welcomed our baby girl, Pip, into the world. It's been a precious few weeks soaking up this special time as a family.

As we head into the winter months, we're beginning our seasonal maintenance to get everything ready for our 2025/2026 couples. We're already excited for what's to come!

A HUGE thank you to all the beautiful couples and suppliers we've had the pleasure of working with during our first year managing the venue. It's truly an honour to be part of your special day, and we've loved getting to know each and every one of you.

While we are closed for the winter, we are still offering viewings by appointment. So if you're interested in visiting us, please get in touch, we’d love to show you around 🤍

Victoria + Jackson 🤍

Our very first couple to trust the vision we had for the upgraded marquee at Longfords.

When we told Jackson his bride had arrived, the look of pure love on his face is a moment we’ll never forget. A day filled with magic and the kind of love that reminds us why we do what we do.
