Wellington| Wairarapa |Masterton Wedding | Le Grá, Opaki

Georgia & Tyrone

Georgia and Tyrone’s wedding in Masterton, Wairarapa was the perfect mix of heartfelt and fun — a summery, relaxed celebration that turned into an epic party with their nearest and dearest.

Their love story began back in high school, during their final year. With a little encouragement from friends (and their music teacher, who funnily enough is now Tyrone’s boss and was also the MC at the wedding!), Georgia made the first move. Tyrone eventually asked her out on the very same day his band won a regional competition — a convenient and memorable anniversary date that would later become part of their story.

Fast forward seven years, with a puppy already part of the family, Tyrone proposed during a romantic getaway in Rotorua’s Redwood canopies. It was the perfect start to the next chapter of their journey together.

Backyard Ceremony & Le Grá Reception

The wedding began with a beautiful ceremony at Georgia’s parents’ backyard in Opaki, a setting filled with personal meaning and natural charm. After the vows, guests moved just down the road to Le Grá, where the real party kicked off. Known for its rustic yet elegant atmosphere, the venue was the perfect backdrop for a day that blended relaxed summer vibes with full-on celebration.

A Special Appearance — The Highland Cows 🐮

One of the most memorable touches of the day was the inclusion of Georgia’s family’s beloved Highland cows. With their shaggy coats and gentle presence, they added a uniquely rural Wairarapa feel to the photos — the kind of detail that made the celebration distinctly theirs. Guests loved seeing them, and they brought a playful, one-of-a-kind charm to the wedding story.

The atmosphere throughout was lively and warm, with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt speeches carrying late into the evening. From start to finish, the day reflected Georgia and Tyrone’s personalities — easygoing, genuine, and full of love.

For couples dreaming of a relaxed Wairarapa wedding in Masterton, Georgia and Tyrone’s day at Le Grá shows just how unforgettable a mix of family warmth, backyard intimacy, rustic elegance, and a few Highland cows can be.
