Choosing your wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions you will make during the planning process.

For many couples, the ceremony is the most meaningful part of the wedding day. It is the moment everything becomes real.

The combination of fresh air, natural colour, open space, and soft light creates an atmosphere that feels relaxed, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful.

The ceremony, the vows, the photographs, the first dance, and the meal shared with family and friends all sit at the heart of the celebration.

Choosing your wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions you will make while planning your day, but choosing the right wedding package is just as important.

At Bridgewater Country Estate, we’re lucky to see many weddings up close—and that means we get a front-row seat to what couples are loving and what they’re choosing for their big day.

We are so excited that this month, Bridgwater Country Estate have been featured in the 'Top Reviews NZ' website for one of the best wedding venues in Auckland.

We have all been to weddings where no one is up on the dancefloor and you wonder "why"?  Why has no one got into the party spirit because after all, it is meant to be one the happiest celebrations around.  So what could be the reason...... 

Less than a week to go until the big royal wedding where we will be treated to the traditions of all things royal.  While many of the traditions that the royal family have does not apply to many of us, it does make me ponder around how many traditions are still common in todays weddings.

Recently we hosted a photo shoot for one of the leading wedding magazines which will be on sale shortly.  This was really exciting to be a part of and we cannot wait to see how the photos came out.  Stunning models to work with so let's hope the backdrop that Bridgewater offered, complimented the amazing talent.

Recently I stumbled across an article which is extremely informative to our couples who are questioning why it is a large investment to hire a wedding venue. It is worth a read but by all means, we would love to speak to you if you are overwhelmed by the cost and we can talk it through further.

It is the 26th December, the day after the special time of the year. It is a great time for reflection on the year that has just been and also looking ahead into the new year.

I recently came across the idea of different aisle layouts. This made me start comparing the traditional straight aisle to the new trend of circular aisle.
