Auckland Wedding Venues
Auckland is a big place with many amazing wedding venues. We haven’t shot at all of these places but we wanted to make one post that people can refer to for venue info. The descriptions are from their websites, some entries have additional information supplied direct to us.
The Stables | Matakana
The Stables Matakana is the perfect wedding venue for couples seeking a unique and romantic location for their special day. Located in the heart of the Matakana region in New Zealand, our venue offers a stunning, private and peaceful setting for your wedding celebration. Our affordable all-inclusive wedding package and Wedding Team are here to ensure your wedding planning and day is seamless.
I spoke to them about what makes the Stable such a great choice “We are outside of Auckland, far enough where people feel like they have somewhere away from busy Auckland but not too far where it’s a crazy long drive! We also have two cozy fireplaces that keep our wedding season going all year long. We have a few reels as you’ll see on our instagram of wedding set ups as we have our own team that decorates the venue.”
We are a preferred vendor for The Stables, defininately take a look.
