Invercargill on New Year’s Eve is usually a dull place to be.

Pubs close early – some aren’t open at all – and there are only a handful of people left in town to ring in the new year.

This wedding changed everything, it was so good!

Emma and Luke got married at St Mary’s Basilica and threw an epic reception/New Year’s Eve party/Luke’s 40th birthday party at the Scottish Hall.

The Scottish Hall has never looked so good. Seriously, check out the photos at the end of this post if you’re looking for a reception venue.

What a fantastic, fun day, I had so much fun!
