The Story So Far...

Our first outing back in November 2017 was an amazing photo shoot with the super talented Emma from Photography by Emma Steel. Not only is Emma super talented, she's also super fun! 

The Baravan is a 1965 Jackson Calypso caravan made in New Zealand. It is known for it's unusual shape. It is a 13 foot caravan, so it's little but not tiny.

We purchased the caravan in May 2017 and then spent six months renovating it in Port Charles. It is now a very cool vintage caravan bar, which we refer to as The Baravan! The decor changed quite a few times during the process, and we eventually settled on a crisp, white look that is an easy fit for any occasion. When you peek inside you'll see a hint of rustic with the rimu woodwork and a hint of 1920's glam, which all adds up to the originality of The Baravan.

The Baravan has it's own solar powered generator  installed to provide it's small power requirements, allowing The Baravan to do it's thing practically anywhere. The generator charges by the sun and stores enough power to run the Baravan for up to 15 hours - plenty of time for a good celebration! 

The Baravan is owned and operated by Jemima, who has over 12 years experience as a wedding coordinator & bar manager. Jemima also owns Your Coromandel Wedding, the wedding directory focused on Coromandel wedding services.

Weddings & events are my passion and I have worked with many couples to create their dream day at various local venues.  I had been looking to branch out on my own for a while before launching 'Coromandel Caravan Bar', I always knew I wanted to continue in the wedding & event industry.  I had been dreaming of a Caravan Bar for a few years beforehand, and a couple of years ago I finally did it!  I look forward to being a part of many more weddings & events."  ~ Jemima
