WEDDINGS

Weddings are at the heart of what Bridgewater Country Estate does best. The team takes great joy in seeing couples enjoy their day, and their goal is to handle all the details so that you can focus on celebrating. When you book your wedding here, you have exclusive use of the estate from start to finish. You can choose from several ceremony locations across the grounds, enjoy canapés and photographs at picturesque spots on site and then move seamlessly into a reception hosted by attentive staff. This level of care and exclusivity is one reason why the estate appeals to people researching wedding venues; couples appreciate knowing that the day will be dedicated solely to them and their guests. Those exploring venues in and around Auckland will find that Bridgewater Estate offers the experience their big day deserves.

Recognising that weddings come in all shapes and sizes, Bridgewater has developed several packages to suit different needs. The full traditional wedding package includes eight hours of venue hire, allowing you to host the ceremony, enjoy canapés, dine on a full dinner and then dance the night away; it has a minimum guest count of fifty. For smaller celebrations there is an all‑inclusive package with four hours of hire, a ceremony location and a grazing table, and it even includes a celebrant and photographer. Couples seeking a shorter or more intimate experience may prefer the pop‑up style package, which offers three hours on the property for a ceremony and canapés and can accommodate up to ten guests. Each option reflects Bridgewater’s understanding that one style does not fit all, and the team is happy to discuss special requests to ensure that your day feels personal. This range of flexible packages appeals to couples across the North Island and the rest of New Zealand, adding to Bridgewater’s reputation as one of the most accommodating venues for weddings in the region.
