Best New Zealand Wedding Venues 2016

Intimate or elaborate, Peregrine is a venue unique with flair and spectacular views, creating a memorable experience that your family and friends will forever cherish. Our historic 1860s Woolshed exudes rustic charm, beautifully framed with schist stone walls and exposed wooden beams. An original establishment of Peregrine, the Woolshed can be styled to suit a contemporary or traditional reception dinner for your dream wedding, or a unique place to host your next corporate event. Situated opposite the woolshed is an architecturally designed winery building with a wing shaped roof that rises from the valley floor to soar above its majestic surrounds and stunning panoramic views. The space under the wing is versatile, and can be enclosed, catering for drinks and canapés on arrival or your reception dinner seating up to 180 guests. Located in the Gibbston region of Central Otago, Peregrine is a scenic 20 minute drive from Queenstown, deep in the heart of the South Island of New Zealand. The impressive and dramatic setting of Peregrine is an amazing backdrop for your most special day, a photographer's dream surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

Voted one of the world’s top 10 barn wedding venues, Tarureka Estate is a wedding and conference venue in the Wairarapa, one hour north of Wellington. The beautiful houses and historic barn on the 8 acre estate offer everything you need for your wedding weekend, special event, mini-break or winter getaway. The sensitively restored historic barn “The Loft” is the perfect setting for your country wedding, with a chapel/banquet area upstairs and bar and dance floor downstairs. The Loft can accommodate 120 guests for a sit-down banquet and wood-fired heating makes it ideal for winter as well as summer weddings. We are thrilled that it is now almost as popular in the winter – because we believe it is the perfect winter wedding venue. The cosy wood fire ensures that everyone is very warm, no matter what the weather outside, and the sparkling lights and glowing totara beams create a wonderfully romantic atmosphere.
