Wedding venues on the Hibiscus Coast cover a golf resort, a camp lodge, club function rooms and a Victorian house inside a regional park. There are 6 listed venues between Dairy Flat, Orewa, Silverdale, Whangaparāoa and Wainui, mostly less than an hour north of the city.
Couldrey House & Garden is the most unusual setting. This Victorian-Edwardian family home with a cottage-style garden sits inside Wenderholm Regional Park, between Wenderholm Beach and the Puhoi River.
It takes small wedding ceremonies and does not host receptions on site. It is rated 4.8 from 67 reviews.
In an Auckland regional park, a permit is needed for anything beyond a plain ceremony, and wedding receptions must be held at a private venue. Marquees, caterers, alcohol and amplified sound also need a permit, and confetti is not permitted.
The Y Shakespear Lodge at Whangaparāoa is a YMCA North outdoor education and camp venue with more than 30 years of experience. It hosts school camps and group stays, and it will take weddings, in a rustic setting with accommodation.
It is rated 4.7 from 49 reviews.
