Weddings

An exceptional vineyard location for your wedding

Wedding Venue

Turanga Creek immerses you in a scenic natural environment less than 30 minutes from Auckland Central. The 100 year old stable faces out towards the organic vineyard with Tuscan houses in the background, providing a serene backdrop and tranquil atmosphere for your special day. Your guests are nestled under our trees while you are married beneath our custom wooden arch, decorated to your choosing at our vine side ceremony space.  We also have wet weather indoor options for your ceremony and the option of a lake side ceremony location.

Combining rustic and modern, the macrocarpa and redwood visually warm the room and marry perfectly the centenary building. The large windows in the main room segment the space, creating 7 different viewpoints allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of the vineyard. The use of solid oak tables keeps the wooden ambience along with comfortable seating.

Our space comfortably seats between 30 and 120.  Room layout is completely customised and adapted to guest numbers and personal preferences.

Food & Beverages

Our Chef provides a variety of menu options to choose from.
We specialise in a Contemporary style Buffet meal which enables guests to experience a wide range of dishes.

Our own organic wine plus imported varieties, beer, spirits, and non-alcoholics are all available from our boutique bar menu served by our friendly, local staff.
