Originally a family restaurant, it’s now a gorgeous Auckland countryside wedding venue in New Zealand’s wine country and an ideal year-round option for couples seeking a relaxed and beautiful setting for their big day. To help you plan, here’s your guide to getting married at The Stables!

Relaxed Charm & Natural Beauty: Why You’ll Love Weddings At The Stables Event Venue

If you’re seeking seamless wedding planning and a huge array of options, The Stables is truly the best Matakana wedding venue. The experienced team here can talk you through all of your options and they offer a range of packages to suit intimate elopements, winter celebrations, or grand, all-inclusive weddings. As they are only open for private functions like weddings, you can be sure the team here has the expert knowledge to ensure your day unfolds perfectly.

Ceremony Options

For your ceremony, outdoor options include The Lawn or The Patio, drenched in sunlight and framed by rolling hills. Or, plan a cosy winter wedding, complete with a roaring fireplace, for an indoor ceremony. Another option is to say your vows at St. Andrews Church, in Matakana Country Park next to The Stables.

Reception Options

For your reception, the rustic beauty of the large dining room is a perfect choice! It can host up to 120 seated guests, with long wooden tables, a large stone fireplace, and wrought-iron chandeliers. With vintage furniture and lots of natural light, this space is ideal as it is, or it can also be customised to suit your wedding theme.

Activities

If your guests want to make a weekend of it, there is so much to do in this region, including breathtaking landscapes, art trails, stunning beaches, and boutique wineries and shops. There are also lots of accommodation options in Matakana and along the coast.

It’s best to go along to one of their Open Days to see the venue for yourself or contact them for a quote based on your needs.
