We understand that your wedding is going to be one of the most important days of your life. We also understand how to help make it run smoothly, how to add the finishing touches that make it special and how to remove the stress.

At Waiau Country Estate our wedding ceremonies generally take place on the bridal lawn which sits to the front of the Waiau restaurant.

Wedding receptions are usually held in the Waiau restaurant and/or our covered, sheltered terrace and outside fire area.

We are able to cater for up to 120 guests. Exclusivity to the Waiau restaurant and grounds is provided for weddings of 70 or more. Where numbers are less than this, although not exclusive the layout of Waiau still allows for an intimate wedding ceremony and wedding reception away from other patrons.

Waiau is a truly beautiful venue, surrounded by large trees and expansive lawns. It takes very little to transform it into the perfect wedding location. There is room for everyone.

WEDDING CATERING
Weddings are catered from the Waiau Country Estate restaurant which is renowned for its excellence in food. Always selecting the freshest, seasonal, local ingredients wherever possible our chef prepares food that is both beautifully presented and tastes devine.

WEDDING RECEPTION MENUS & WINE LISTS

Our guests generally select three main courses and three desserts from our wedding menu. These are preceded by our chefs creative selection of canapés. The food is generously proportioned, changes seasonally and provides plenty of choice to suit all tastes. If there are specific needs then we will happily discuss these with you and develop a menu to suit.

Select four different wines off the Waiau house wine list which includes: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Merlot.
