VENUE SPOTLIGHT: THE BLACK BARN, LAKE TARAWERA

An absolutely iconic, incredible venue over looking Lake Tarawera; it’s a favourite and we’ve been lucky enough to be involved in so many stunning weddings there! Our furniture really compliments the venue to create a dream cocktail hour set up on the lawn, overlooking the lake, plus we can help with ceremony backdrops and additional lighting if you are really wanting to spruce things up! Check out the below to get inspired for your own special day!
