Your wedding should feel like you. The planning should help you get there.
When you book your wedding at Lake Hāwea View, you get your own dedicated Wedding Hub. It brings your ideas, suppliers, budget and plans together, giving you one place to return to as your day takes shape.
Whether you are planning from Auckland, Australia or just down the road, the practical details are there whenever you need them. You can find venue information, explore local suppliers and keep your planning moving from wherever you call home.
Design it how you dream it
Start with the things you love. Your Styling Moodboard gives you a place to collect images, links and notes, from flowers and table settings to the ceremony backdrop you keep coming back to.
As your ideas come together, so does a clearer picture of your celebration. Keep your inspiration together and share that direction with your stylist, florist and the people helping bring it to life.
Find your people, locally
Planning a destination wedding is easier with a good place to start. Our recommended supplier directory brings together local celebrants, photographers, caterers, florists, musicians and more.
Explore their work, find contact details and speak with them directly about your plans. You are welcome to choose your own suppliers too. The directory helps you discover options and begin those conversations, even when you are a flight away.
Your Vendor Contact List keeps the people you choose together, ready to share with your coordinator and the venue.
Keep your budget in view
Your Budget Tracker helps you see how the different parts of your day add up. Record estimates, add actual costs as you confirm suppliers and mark items as paid.
The totals update as you go, showing your overall estimate, actual spending and what is still to pay. It gives you a clearer picture when you are deciding where to spend a little more or making room for something you really want.
Know what to do next
You do not have to figure everything out at once. The Wedding Planning Checklist groups tasks by when they tend to happen, from the bigger bookings through to the final preparations.
Tick things off as you go and add your own reminders. Your progress saves to your account, so you can pick up where you left off and see what needs your attention next.
Bring the whole day together
Your Day-of Run Sheet turns the plans into a clear running order. Begin with our example, adjust the times and add the moments that matter to you, from getting ready at the lodge to the ceremony, dinner and dancing.
The Guest List helps you keep track of numbers, dietary needs and who is staying onsite. The Transport tool brings travel arrangements into the same planning space, so getting everyone there and home is easier to organise.
With those details together, you can share a clear plan with your suppliers and the people helping on the day.
Your plans, with us here to help
Use as much or as little of the Hub as you like. Your plans save to your account, so you can start something on your phone and return to it on a computer later.
Alice and the Lake Hāwea View team are here for venue questions as your plans develop. With the practical details easier to find and organise, you have more space to enjoy creating your day.
Your place, your people, your wedding. Bring it together with Lake Hāwea View.
These are just a few of the things waiting in your Wedding Hub. You’ll discover more helpful tools and details when you book your wedding with us.
