The INNER-CITY
DESTINATION WEDDING.
The Wedding EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER.
The Inner-city Destination Wedding, in collaboration with The Convent Hotel, is an experience like no other. A destination wedding, without the hours of tedious travel & days off work. A whole weekend celebrating your love, and a whole hotel to do it in.
the CONVENT HOTEL.
A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE.
the Ultimate Wedding Escape at The Convent Hotel.
Dreaming of a destination wedding but dreading the logistics? Imagine a celebration that offers all the beauty, joy, and romance, without the hassle.
We all love a destination wedding. You, your lover, & all of your loved ones getting to spend not just your wedding day in a beautiful environment, but the next day too. However, the idea is often better than the reality. With the stress & cost of travel, having to take multiple days off work, so much to plan & pack, limited locational knowledge & then having to make it all the way back home with a nasty hangover.
What if you could have all the benefits with none of the pitfalls?
At The Petite Wedding Co. we are reimagining the destination wedding with this cityscape romance.
Enter THE INNER-CITY DESTINATION WEDDING
At the incredibly chic, Convent Hotel, spilling with Spanish details & old world charm.
Steeped in poetic history, this dreamy mission style building houses ornate ceilings, stucco arches & vast steel windows where you will find the eclectic rooms nestled within. And now an intimate destination to wed for the modern romantics.
You receive a wedding beyond your wildest dreams, right in the heart of Auckland City. You enjoy the stunning setting, the big party AND the next day together & then you have the luxury of a short trip home.
YOUR wedding, perfectly planned & flawlessly executed, leaving you nothing to worry about except enjoying every single magical moment.
NZ’s top wedding vendors come together to create an artfully curated, luxury event that you are truly deserving of.
‘With new wedding packages artfully curated by Frankie Orange of The Petite Wedding Co. and the incredible Keryn Sweeney capturing the magic. This talented group of creatives have joined together in a collision of modern love and contemporary style fused with pops of electric coloured blooms by none other than the FLORAL STYLIST CO. of course’

How much?
$99,500
With our experience & as market research suggests, those who are guests of destination weddings expect to pay between $500-$1000 for accomodation, plus all of the other costs associated with this sort of event. Not to mention the hours spent traveling & time off work.
If your guests paid towards their own accomodation, this can reduce the final cost by $20,000-$40,000.
