Weddings

The Village Centre is a popular Wedding venue as our heritage Church provides a beautiful backdrop to your ceremony. You can also cater your Reception in the adjacent Hall, adding touches of your own personality to your special day.

Wedding photos can be taken against our gorgeous historic buildings or Mt Eden Maungawhau. Alternatively the Auckland Domain, Wintergardens, Eden Garden and the maunga itself are close by for your special photos of the day.
