Find your perfect Auckland Wedding Venue

Are you looking for a place to host your wedding reception that doesn’t break the bank but does break the mould? Then you’ve come to the right place to find your perfect wedding venue. 
Auckland has an incredible range of wedding venues from Waiheke island vineyards to hidden retreats in Kumeu. However, many of these bigger Auckland wedding venues are so popular that they are booked out for years or may be above your price range. Part of that reason is that these larger wedding venues across New Zealand are designed to be EVERYBODY'S  perfect place, rather than YOUR perfect place. We’ve hand selected some smaller, more budget friendly options that give you scope to stamp your personality and truely make it your special day. As most of them are not purpose built wedding reception venues, they benefit from having more availability and more flexibility to be the perfect venue for you.
