"My name is Crystal Richter and my fiance, Alex Smith, and I have absolutely fallen in love with your Mudcastle!

We are both from Wellington but after looking at every venue close to home decided to look further away. I found your site off www.venuesearch.co.nz and have not looked at another venue since!"

Everyone here who has seen our photos of the day has commented on the beauty of the setting and the obvious warmth and intimacy of the occasion. Your sympathetic and generous support throughout the wedding was a vital element of its great success. Thank you again for all you did for us. Very best wishes from a summery (ie. cold and overcast!)

"Steve and I would like to sincerely thank you for your help and hospitality in organising and hosting our intimate wedding. We couldn't have asked for anything better, it exceeded our expectations. We know everybody who shared our day with us were also overwhelmed with the surroundings, your hospitality and the small details that you created making the day so special.

Thank you once again and we are looking forward to seeing you in a few years for an anniversary!!"

PS Could I be cheeky and ask for the recipe for the treacle bread you made, it was absolutely fantastic!

All our guests raved about your house and right from the start Johnny & I felt that "The Mudcastle" was a very special place owned by very special people. We appreciate how much effort you both put in to the property and attending to our guests needs. We will most certainly be recommending your services in the future."
