A selection of NZ gardens to visit
An exceptional wedding venue does more than just host a crowd—it orchestrates the rhythm of your entire day, seamlessly transitioning from the emotional weight of "I do" to the joyous celebration of the reception. The best spaces are purposefully designed to honour the ceremony, including 8 outdoor options and 3 indoor options. Offering picturesque backdrops like sunlit garden arches, sheltered vineyard arbours, or grand architectural framing that naturally draws every eye to the couple. Thoughtful layout flow ensures that guests move effortlessly from the vows to cocktail hour without missing a beat, while on-site versatility guarantees that rain or shine, the atmosphere remains effortlessly intimate and romatic.

Thank you for a wonderful visit yesterday to a wonderful garden Anne. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and I know they will never forget it. Very many thanks,
Fate would have it that Google maps recommended this road to Lake Taupō. I am an amateur vase collector but this blew my mind. Have seen glass blowing in Venice but this topped that. Walked away with 3 pieces but could have left with more. Intimate but yet expert artisans. Loved every minute. Thank you
"Thank you very much for hosting the Matangi Garden Club yesterday in your gorgeous garden. Members loved the calm soothing environment. the space and the beautiful plantings. From the number of photos taken, you've inspired quite a few people with good ideas. You turned on a perfect day as well."
Incredible use of a medium-sized section giving the impression it is so much larger. The front is full of beautiful flowers and the back has an abundance of fruit trees and vegetables together with an all-weather entertainment area. There are endless surprises with garden art, statues, mirrors and an incredible Tillandsia 'tree' made from driftwood with the plants secured on. Was also very impressed with the well-hidden water tanks. Lots of ideas to take away for my own small section.
Such a magical and truly unique garden. Exploring the many pathways and features along the way is a delight - Jenny’s imagination and passion for her creation is infectious!
"Thank you so much for giving us your time to visit your beautiful garden. Our ladies enjoyed listening to how the garden has been established. Much appreciation from Kotuku Garden Club."
Hi Anne and Ron, Thanks again for the wonderful visit and afternoon tea on the 1st February, all our residents including myself had a great time. Your garden is just beautiful, it was wonderful to see all the love and care that you both put into creating it.
We couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful place to get married than TreeChurch and Gardens. The gardens are absolutely stunning and the TreeChurch itself is truly magical. We feel so blessed we were able to celebrate our love in such an incredible setting.
Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful and unique this place is. Bev and Chris were lovely to deal with from start to finish. We will be sure to visit annually.
Hi Anne & Ron, I just wanted to thank you both so much for our wonderful garden visit on Monday. Our members were all so appreciative of the time you spent with us and amazed at your beautiful garden and the vast variety of plants. We all came home inspired.... thank you again for sharing your stunning garden with us and making us so welcome in your home.
Amazing venue and setting, we loved every minute of our special day. Accommodation is comfortable and grounds well maintained, hard to find any comparable setting - super unique.
