"We had our wedding here, booked all the cottages and had Trude as a celebrant. They made us very welcome in their private home, the cottages were in tune with the nature and beauty of the area. The whole process was wonderful, the catering & staff fantastic, venue amazing and they even arranged perfect weather for us! Thank you so much. We look forward to coming back just the two of us for a quiet weekend with a book and to enjoy the view." – Emily
"Kia ora Trude and John, You both absolutely made our wedding day special - more than it already was. You welcomed us into your beautiful home away from home. Loved your hospitality, and how thoughtful all the detail was. Wouldn't have been a special day without you both. Arohanui, William and Mark"
"We had our wedding at the beautiful Bethells Beach Cottages and we had the most amazing day ever. All our guests have complimented our choice of venue. We had a clear view of the beach which provided a stunning backdrop for some of our photos. Trude and John are super helpful. When I was busy getting myself ready, Trude transformed the space with seashells and beautiful flowers! The food, of course, is also excellent! Can't thank them enough for their support on our big day. We all had an amazing time. Highly recommended!" - Jo
