The day
Everything happens in Thorndon, a few minutes' walk apart. Here's how the afternoon runs.
-
Arrive and be seated
Lady Chapel, The Wellington Cathedral of St. Paul, Molesworth Street.
-
The ceremony
About forty minutes. Take all the photos you like: we're collecting everyone's pictures afterwards, and there'll be disposable cameras placed around the chapel and the Thistle Inn too. Two small asks: no flash during the vows, and no photos from behind the celebrant.

Drinks and photos in the Brian Davis Room and the garden outside
Next door to the chapel: a room inside the cathedral and a pretty garden just beyond it. A drink, a few photos, and a chance to say hello before we all wander down the hill together.
-
Reception at the Thistle Inn
3 Mulgrave Street, Thorndon, about five minutes' walk from the cathedral. We'll all wander down together after the photos.
Drinks, food and a relaxed evening with the people we love.
Getting there
The cathedral and the Thistle Inn are both a short walk from Wellington Railway Station and the bus stops on Lambton Quay and Molesworth Street. Street parking in Thorndon is limited on a weekday afternoon, so allow a little extra time if you're driving.
