Gig Guide
How the night runs
Saturday 15 May 2027 at The Cargo Shed, Tauranga. Doors at 3:30 PM — the film starts at 4:00 PM and you really won't want to miss it.
Chapter Two · The Premiere
3:30 PM
Doors Open
Arrive at The Cargo Shed. Grab a drink, find your people and get settled in.
4:00 PM
The Premiere
Our private wedding ceremony film plays for the very first time.
We haven't seen it either. We'll be watching it with you.
Chapter Three · The Pre-Game
4:20 – 7:30 PM
The Pre-Game
Grazing food, a subsidised cash bar, live music and speeches spaced every 20–30 minutes. No formal seated dinner — eat, drink and move around.
During the pre-game
Ring-Making Station
A jeweller will be hand-making rings from coins right at the reception. If you have a special coin you want turned into a ring, bring it along and have it made on the night.
Think travel coins, inherited coins, or anything with a story — they'll become something you can wear home.
7:30 – 8:00 PM
Reset & Glow Up
Freshen up, swap the heels for comfy shoes, change into outfit #2 if you brought one, then grab your glow sticks and party glasses.
Outfit #2 must also be all black.
Chapter Four · After Dark
8:00 PM
First Dance… But Not For Long
We'll start the first dance — you lot finish it with us. The bouquet gets thrown right about here too.
8:00 – 10:00 PM
OPUS
Our favourite local DnB DJ takes over. Lights down, glow sticks out, dance floor full.
All that black is about to look very good next to the glow.
Chapter Five · The Comedown
10:00 PM — Late
The Comedown
When the official music winds down, Alex takes over the aux and the night slips into its final chapter. Expect country favourites, boots on the floor, questionable line dancing and the kind of conversations nobody is quite ready to end.
Hats optional.
Questionable line dancing compulsory.
