Seeing is Believing
All you need to do now is get in touch and arrange a viewing to see exactly what the venues have to offer. Our teams will explain everything and provide you with a detailed online proposal that allows you to work out the exact cost.
Tui Hills
Get your slice of heaven at this enchanting venue nestled in the bush of the Waitakere Ranges. You’ll feel a million miles from the hustle and bustle of downtown Auckland which is just 30 minutes away.
Fully renovated in 2019, Tui Hills brings together fresh, modern facilities with character and charm of the original venue hall. The native garden theme throughout will give your wedding a uniquely kiwi feel.
Whether you’re marrying in the secluded Kowhai Glade with its famous rotunda, or enjoying canapes and bubbles in the shade of the Nikau Pavilion, you and your guests will love being at Tui Hills.
Abel Estate
Marrying next to a lake on manicured grounds, with grapevines in the background is a dream come true for many couples, and it can be for you at the elegant Abel Estate near Kumeu.
Originally the working vineyard Abel & Co, the venue started hosting weddings in the early 2000s under the name Gracehill. Abel Estate is building on that heritage, giving couples and their guests a fresh and stylish setting to love.
Not that you’ll be thinking about that during your ceremony at the gazebo or on the lawn, or while having photos taken amongst the vines, beside the lake or on the bridge over the stream.
“My mother and bridesmaids kept commenting that I was very calm the whole day, and it was easy to be as Tui Hills had taken care of everything for us and I was about to marry the love of my life! “
Kristina Ellson
“Thank you again for all you did for us leading up to the wedding & on the day. Everything was perfect, it was the best day the food & drinks were awesome the family loved everything about the venue.”

Choose Your Celebrant…
Finding the right celebrant can make all the difference to your ceremony. They’ll help you organise your vows, help settle your nerves and guide you along the way on the day.
Just as importantly, they can set the tone of the ceremony – serious, lighthearted, irreverent, solemn – and make your guests feel welcome and included.
You can choose from our group of our hugely-experienced preferred celebrants or perhaps you already have one in mind such as a family friend. We’ll guide you through the process of finding the right one.
…Your Photographer
Every wedding creates lasting memories. For that reason, it’s important that your wedding photographs are taken by someone skilled in capturing such precious memories, making you and the day look wonderful.
That means a safe pair of hands from an experienced pro. We’re fortunate to have a selection of seasoned wedding photographers for you to choose from.
You can select, based on their style, knowing that we high-recommend their work. In years to come you’ll be happy to show off those wonderful images. We also have recommended videographers available.
…Your DJ or Live Music
There’s nothing like getting up on the dance floor to celebrate your newly-wed status. Both venues have air-conditioned dance floors for your comfort, and a huge selection of DJs and musicians to choose from.
Every DJ is a seasoned professional experienced in playing the sort of songs that much the tempo of the revelers, keep the dance floor full, and send guests home with tired feet.
There’s a wide variety of genres, sounds and sizes of live music acts we have available, including solo guitarists or instrumentalists for cocktail hour. You get to see a clip of them performing before choosing.

And there are tons of extras you can add, such as celebrant, photographer, cake, photobooth and a brides room to get ready. You can even extend the wedding by an extra hour with additional canapes and drinks.
