Orchard Gardens Wedding

The Orchard Garden, near Clyde and Alexandra, Central Otago, is another of my favourite wedding venues.

It offers you so you many options and is one of my favourite Central Otago wedding venues for photography.

With the maze, interlinked high hedged gardens, secret wooded pathways, open green space, colourful flower beds and, of course, the iconic Blue Door, Orchard Gardens offers so many choices of space for your ceremony and photos.

The gardens also offer shade and protection from wind plus the indoor Packing Shed for your reception, all these take away any worry of what the weather might do on your wedding day.

And the people at Orchard Gardens are lovely - so accommodating and keen to make your day just as you dreamed it would be. 

I love photographing weddings here and each time discover new gems around the gardens.  

The gardens, as their names sake implies, have been converted from old orchards. The high hedges create a maze and several secret garden rooms for the ceremony, drinks gatherings and photos.

The reception room is in the beaut old fruit packing shed, full of character and warmth.

Olivers Clyde

I've been so fortunate to have photographed several wonderful weddings at Oliver's in Clyde and it is one of my all time favourite venues in Central Otago.

It's also great for accommodation for you or your guests if you're getting married somewhere else in Clyde or Alexandra.

Beautifully restored by owners Andrea and David Ritchie, Olivers reopened its fabulous wedding venue, accommodation, restaurant, cafe and craft brewery in all it's former glory - but even better.

The gardens and courtyard are perfect for the ceremony and drinks and the venue provides character wedding reception room and accommodation all in one place.

If you are looking for a country chic venue in Central Otago you can't go past it.

Plus from my perspective Olivers has oh so many stunning photo options both within the grounds of Olivers and close by in historic Clyde and at Lake Dunstan, just a couple of minutes drive.

I love Olivers.  We stayed here for our own intimate wedding! 

Olivers Clyde offers every option you could need for a large or intimate wedding. 
There's a stylish house plus beautiful accommodation across the garden right on site. 
Ceremony sites include the garden or indoors if the weather isn't kind
The chef! James is a genius and will cook up a storm for you
The restaurant is full of character and style.  You can seat all your guests or have an intimate wedding table within the restaurant
There's a separate room for dancing after the dinner so you don't have to wait while it 's reset - juts get straight into the dancing
