Weddings

For beautiful gatherings

Between the river and the ridgeline, where steep limestone cliffs fold into gentle pasture, you'll find The Farm - a wedding venue anchored by an extraordinary landscape. A place woven with significance, holding you and your people as you gather in celebration.

When I try to imagine a faultless love or the life to come, what I hear is the murmur of underground streams, what I see is a limestone landscape. — W.H. Auden, In Praise of Limestone, 1948.

The Ceremony & Reception Sites

A wedding at The Farm is designed to flow with the landscape. The Ceremony and cocktail hour unfold at The Wetlands, then the celebration moves downslope to the woolshed for the reception - a space designed for candlelit dinners and dancing.

The Wetlands

Open Air / Marquee Site

At the heart of Te Mata Peak Farm sits The Wetlands: an expansive flat site, open to the sky, with rocky faces rising behind. A place of coming together, The Wetlands is for ceremonies, marquees and alfresco gatherings. This site is ideal for wedding ceremonies and the cocktail hour, with space for a marquee and/or umbrellas and outdoor furniture.

Available Summer 2027 (earlier by request)
Up to 299 guests

The Woolshed

Indoor Reception / Event Site

Designed to provide a fully equipped indoor venue, The Woolshed is an ideal reception site for large weddings, with guests transitioning downslope from the ceremony and cocktail hour at the Wetlands. Equipped with a functional bar, kitchen and bathroom facilities, it will accommodate all-weather ceremonies, receptions and events.

Available Summer 2027
Up to 299 seated guests

Recommended Planners & Vendors
Can I book my wedding directly with The Farm?
All bookings must be made through a trusted event professional; direct client bookings will not be accepted. See here for recommended planners & vendors, or reach out and we'll connect you with the right people.
What is the maximum capacity for a wedding at The Farm?
Both The Farm's ‘The Wetlands’ and 'The Woolshed' sites can comfortably accommodate up to 299 guests.
Can we have our wedding ceremony and reception at different sites within The Farm?
The Farm offers a range of sites, with couples encouraged to use them however they wish. While you’re with The Farm, it is entirely yours.
Are there wet weather options?
Yes. The Woolshed is a custom-built all-weather ceremony and reception space, and The Quarters offers a luxurious setting for small elopements or events. In addition, the Wetlands provides ample space for a marquee.
Do you offer accommodation? Where can guests stay?
Every wedding booking at The Farm includes exclusive hire of our onsite guest accommodation, The Quarters, for three nights. This is for use by the wedding party prior to, during, and immediately after the wedding. In addition to this, we also have The Beach House at Waimarama, which may be hired as an addition to our wedding package for the purposes of accommodating the wedding party. Wedding guests will need to make their own accommodation arrangements - both Craggy Range Winery and Black Barn Retreats offer exceptional accommodation options in the Tuki Tuki Valley, and there are multiple options in and around Havelock North to suit.
Do you have exclusive partnerships with local vendors for flowers, catering etc. or can we choose these ourselves?
Our recommended planners and vendors are a careful curation of world-class industry professionals — people who know this landscape intimately and deliver exceptional work. While you're welcome to bring your own team, we encourage you to start here.
