"Wow!  What can we say! Staying here was the highlight, the absolute pinnacle, of our trip to New Zealand.  Piha Beach Accommodation - the Suite, Lodges and bach were all incredibly warm and comfy, peaceful and restive, charming and a true delight to visit and stay in.  Bobbie & Julia were so very warm and inviting - they made our wedding and stay at Piha so easy and memorable; we love you and this place and we will be back!  Jonathon & Marja. : "

These clients chose to save money by not having the white fabric chair covers or linen serviettes.  Black Sand Weddings can work with you to match your wedding budget while still having a beautiful wedding reception.

"Bobbie & Julia: Thank you so much for organising a wonderful wedding day! Even better than we expected! We didn't see much of you because you were working away in the background making everything happen.  Food was great. All 45 guests were surprised with the setting and had a great time.  Thank you very muchg again!  Helen & Jonathan  14th Feb 2007. Auckland"
