Eilish and Thomas chose late autumn for their wedding at The Hilltop, overlooking Akaroa Harbour.
This venue has been taken over by new owners and it's absolutely stunning. The upstairs 'getting ready' space is light and bright, which makes for stunning prep photos.
The food is done by 5th Street (read: it's delicious), the dinner party vibes are even better, and the view is arguably the best at any venue in Canterbury.
I'm quite sold on this new offering to the wedding venue market.
