imagine your day!
Your day may begin in the serene elegance of Songbird Cottage’s bridal suite, where soft natural light filters through the windows, and the air is filled with quiet excitement. Surrounded by your closest friends, you might sip champagne, share laughter, and take in the precious moments before the celebration begins.
Then it’s time. You step onto the grand staircase, between roses and lavender and native NZ flaxes whispering as you pass. Your wedding starts with an entrance worthy of the moment.
Walk the enchanting bridal walkway, flanked by delicate white roses in full bloom. The soft fragrance lingers in the air as you take in the moment— the whisper of a breeze, and the eyes of your loved ones watching in excitement.
As you arrive at the ceremony lawn, your family and friends stand together, a sea of smiling faces ready to witness your vows. With breathtaking scenery as your backdrop, your forever begins—surrounded by love, nature, and the magic of the moment.
After the "I do’s," the atmosphere shifts to relaxed joy on the Cocktail Lawn. Soft music drifts through the air as old friends reconnect, and new memories are made.
Every corner of Songbird Retreat offers a picture-perfect backdrop for your wedding photos. From sun-dappled gardens to the elegant details of the venue, your photographer will be spoiled for choice. For those craving a breathtaking coastal touch, Matheson Bay is just two minutes away. Whether amidst nature or by the water’s edge, your wedding album will be filled with timeless, beautiful moments.
A beautifully curated feast awaits in the marquee or informally around food trucks and informal seating, where the food is a delight, and every toast is heartfelt.
Then, as the music picks up, the dance floor comes alive—a celebration of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Wave your guests goodbye and retreat to the luxurious serenity of Songbird Cottage. Step into the steaming outdoor bath, surrounded by the sounds of the night and the soft glow of the stars. It’s the perfect way to soak in the joy of the day—just the two of you, in love.
