Fall in Love with Garden Wedding Venues in Auckland
Auckland is a place of beauty—from sparkling harbours to secret gardens tucked just minutes from the city. It’s no wonder couples from all over New Zealand (and beyond) are drawn to the idea of saying “I do” surrounded by nature.
But not all garden wedding venues in Auckland are created equal.
You want more than just pretty. You want a place that feels like you. Somewhere your guests can laugh, dine, and dance without having to shuttle between locations. Somewhere that makes your life easier from day one.
That’s why venues like Orakei Bay are so loved. It’s elegant, it’s peaceful, and it’s perched on the edge of the water—offering stunning garden spaces outside and timeless interiors inside.
A ceremony beneath the trees. A cocktail hour on the lawn. A dinner under soft lights in a gallery filled with love.
Your guests will love the seamless flow. You’ll love how it feels like stepping into a page of your own fairytale. It’s not just a venue. It’s a canvas for your story.
A Wedding Planner in Auckland That Feels Like Famil
Planning a garden wedding can be magical—but also, let’s be honest, a little overwhelming.
That’s where a great wedding planner in Auckland changes everything.
At Orakei Bay, your wedding package includes a personal coordinator. That’s someone who gets to know your vision and becomes your go-to guide—making sure your day runs beautifully, so you can stay present and soak it all in.
From seating plans to timelines to the moment your guests arrive, they’ll be with you—calm, experienced, and always one step ahead.
Because you should be sipping champagne, not checking schedules.
Wedding Catering in Auckland That’s a Feast for the Eyes (and Heart)
Let’s talk about the food.
You know those weddings where guests are still talking about the meal years later? That could be yours.
Great wedding catering in Auckland isn’t just about filling plates. It’s about flavour, creativity, and presentation that feels as special as the day itself. At Orakei Bay, the chefs take local, seasonal ingredients and turn them into art—plated beautifully, bursting with taste, and tailored just for you.
Whether you dream of a candlelit dinner, a playful grazing table, or a custom-designed menu full of your favourite dishes, it’s all possible.
Food that tastes like love? Yes, please.
