Give guests a clear marker at the gate and a simple way to find the cellar door, car park or reception. We make custom metal entrance and directional signs in New Zealand for wineries, wedding venues and other rural businesses.

Tell us about your venue sign or browse our metal signs.

Start with what guests need to see

  • At the gate. Give the venue name the most room. Send us your logo if you’d like it included. We can check which details will read clearly at the size you have in mind.
  • At a driveway split. Keep the message short. A personalised directional sign can point visitors to the cellar door, parking or reception.
  • At the building. Take a photo of the wall or posts from the way guests arrive. That helps us judge the proportions and how the lettering will sit against the background.

Choose the look for your entrance

Our cut-through Corten sign can carry your venue name, with optional stainless steel backing for extra contrast. The raised stainless steel option puts individual letters in front of a solid Corten panel. The steel panel develops its natural rust finish outdoors while the stainless lettering stays silver.

If you’re ordering a main sign and separate directions, send us the wording for all of them together. We can work through which messages belong at the gate and which are easier to read once visitors are inside.

What we can make for your venue

From a single welcome sign to a matching set around the property, we can lay out the wording and arrows around how guests arrive.

  • Several destinations on one sign. Put your venue name or logo at the top of a large square or rectangular panel. Give each destination its own line and arrow underneath.
  • A matching set from gate to door. Start with a larger entrance sign, then use smaller signs for guest parking, reception, the ceremony lawn or deliveries.
  • A sign for traffic coming both ways. If guests approach a junction from either direction, ask about a double-sided sign. Send us the wording and directions for each side.

Have a different layout in mind? Tell us what you need and send a photo or a quick sketch of where guests need to go.

What to send for a quote

Send us the exact wording, your logo if you have one, an entrance photo taken from the normal approach and a rough measurement of the space. Let us know how you plan to mount the sign, where it’s going and whether you have an opening or event date in mind.

We’ll talk through the size and finish with you and send a digital mock-up for approval before making your sign.

Ask for a quote and mock-up.
