VENUE SPOTLIGHT- Honeymoon Bay

Honeymoon Bay, also known as Oakura Bay Villa, is rich with history and filled with love. Honeymoon Bay will take you back in time to sea side holidays of years past and create memories to last a lifetime. The bay, locally known as Honeymoon Bay, is privately owned and secluded and the perfect location for your special celebration.

The property is five hectares in area, including three private islands, almost two kilometres of coastline, cottage gardens, heritage fruit trees, a boutique vineyard and olive grove, and plenty of flat lawn at the beach front to exchange your vows and provide truly unique photographic opportunities.

The Villa was built in 1896 as a private family residence and was lovingly restored for boutique accommodation and weddings in 2013. The pioneer homestead with its large wrap around verandas and shady eaves reminds us of romantic times gone by. The Villa is available for you to hire for the wedding party, and is managed exclusively by us! So if this looks like the place for you, then you’ve come to the right place. Drop us an email and we can send you through further information.

GENEVIEVE & PHIL - BEACHFRONT WEDDING

GENEVIEVE & PHIL - BEACHFRONT WEDDING

Genevieve and Phil married on Waiheke in February. With the amazing Anna Kidman on board for the photos, we knew this was going to be special. Genevieve was clear from the beginning of having a day that was relaxed and romantic, yet with touches of elegance, and I think she nailed it! It was such a pleasure working with these two on planning and designing their day. 

WINTER WEDDING AT MUDBRICK

WINTER WEDDING AT MUDBRICK

The lovely Gemma and Brett were married in August on Waiheke, and look at the day they had! We love a good Winter wedding, it's a great excuse for lots of layers, rich jewel tones, roaring fires and loads of candles. This beautiful wedding was styled by the bride herself, images from Madeline Druce.

AL FRESCO - GOLDIE ESTATE WEDDING

AL FRESCO - GOLDIE ESTATE WEDDING

Looking to create something a little bit special and unique for this gorgeous couple, we went for an outdoor setting at Goldie along with a beautiful ceremony down at the private beach. Two locations that were so perfect for the lovely wedding of Sophie and David. Aiming for a relaxed vibe, yet keeping things nice and intimate, the couple sat in amongst their guests. With a good selection of our My Waiheke Teak banquet tables and bamboo chairs, the decor was kept simple and flowers were simple and wild.
