The Venue

Bridgewater Country Estate is a tranquil 16 acre haven situated in the middle of the tourist loop that runs from Auckland through the Kumeu wine district and back down through the rolling pastures of Albany. Bridgewater is a leisurely 35 minutes drive from central city Auckland.

The elevated, sun-drenched terrace has the most magnificent panoramic views.  Overlooking one ceremony site with a cute chapel, the 180 degree view from our private native bush through the garden to the pool will take your breath away.

NOTES FROM THE GUESTBOOK

Justin and Tracey were awesome to deal with, they were reply so speedily in the lead up to the big day. On the day they went above and beyond for us! The venue staff were amazing and attentive. The venue has a natural amphitheatre which draws your attention to the beautifully maintained gardens and arch-ways. The whole experience was knitted together by their incredible food! It is a day I will happily relive in my memories for the rest of my life. Cannot recommend it enough to people looking for a venue.

P.S the fact that you can pay for them to deal with ALL the decorations. And that they clean it all up for you at the end; is worth its weight in gold! It really takes the stress off the big day.
