Cat & Hayden
Gather & Gold provided the tipis to our Dublin Bay wedding in February 2020. From our initial contact to our wedding day they were fantastic! When I drove up to the wedding site to see the beauty of these tipis against the stunning landscape of Wanaka I was lost for words! We have had so many amazing comments from our guests who couldn’t get over how cool and beautiful the tipis were! We cannot recommend Gather & Gold enough! Every staff member was so helpful and I feel we have made friends for life with this team! Thank you again for playing such a huge part in our perfect day and making it all so easy! You truly are the best! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
