OUR STORY
WE ARE GETTING MARRIED (:
We met about six years ago in the lobby of the Rendezvous Grand Hotel where Carsten worked as a Concierge to support his career as a film editor and where Eva used to park her car in convenient proximity to her workplace across the road at the Auckland central police station.
Eva would come to the Concierge desk to pay her parking ticket every day and it didn't take long before her shy beauty and effortless grace caught the eye of Carsten.
It did however take over half a year for him to pull himself together enough to ask her out for a coffee. What was planned as a smooth slip of the old phone number on the parking receipt quickly turned into a stumbling, and rather awkward effort...
​
But hey we ended up dating and the more we have been finding out about each other, the more our love grew (and Carsten's belly too). And then we moved in together, survived adventures, went on trips, took care of MuiMui and shared many great experiences.
​
And now we would like to invite you to share this moment with us; this signifier of our ever growing love and connection which we want to celebrate with you - the people who are so important in both of our lives.
​
We dearly hope to see you on this happy day.
THE
WEDDING
GETTING
THERE
TRANSPORTATION
To reach the Stoneridge Estate you will most likely take a plane to Queenstown. From the airport it is 11 minutes by car/taxi to the estate. However; you may want to arrive a day early to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and so you may stay a day in Queenstown or the equally beautiful village of Arrowtown (14 minutes by car to reach Stoneridge Estate).
We will try to arrange transport options for you to get to the estate and ask you to arrange your own way back after the reception.
ACCOMMODATION
This is the busy time of the year, so we recommend to make arrangements as soon as possible. Here are some recommendations:

REGISTRY
We know that it takes a lot of effort to make your way to Queenstown, especially if you come from overseas. This is why we want to forego any presents and only ask for your very valued presence to be there with us on this important day :)
​
However, if you really absolutely feel like giving us something, we would be grateful for a little support towards our honey moon!
