Testimonials

This Tauranga wedding venue is set in a simply stunning location and I couldn't think of more beautiful places to get married. Amazing indoor, outdoor flow from the elevated for the wedding reception with breath-taking views. The riverside wedding ceremony was really picturesque too.

We had our wedding here in March this year and can not recommend this venue highly enough! I liaised with Sam for all the planning leading up to the big day and she was so friendly, helpful and super efficient - everything went perfectly thanks to her experience and planning. Our guests just raved about the beautiful venue and the incredible staff. We are rapt we chose this venue to celebrate our special day and thank the team there for making it the perfect day
