Waitangi offers an inspired setting for a wedding in the Bay of Islands.

The Bay of Islands not only offers a beautiful location for your wedding but there is also a wide range of accommodation options and activities to enjoy in the lead-up to your big day and afterwards.

Waitangi is a place of spiritual and historical significance for Aotearoa New Zealand and has been a place of gathering for hundreds of years. With panoramic sea views, park-like grounds and lush native bush, Waitangi is the ideal site for your wedding.

The Treaty Grounds offers the perfect backdrop to your wedding ceremony, reception and photos. The ceremony can be held in one of the stunning outdoor locations, followed by a celebratory toast and canapés. There is achoice of venues for your reception: the new Tahuaroa Function Centre offers amazing bush views and the large stacking doors open out onto a private covered deck; Whare Waka Café is surrounded by birdsong and a new premium clear marquee can cater for larger weddings and captures all the views.

But remember Waitangi is more than just a venue. It offers the opportunity to add unique experiences such as a private pōwhiri, museum viewings and tailor-made cultural experiences.

The Waitangi wedding coordinator and the excellent onsite hospitality team are looking forward to helping you plan your wedding and make sure you can enjoy your special day with your friends and whanau.
