What an unforgettable night at Kauri Bay! Our first Winter Dinner Series of the year was a cozy celebration of seasonal flavours, glowing lights, and warm company.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us—and to our incredible vendors, La Lumiere and Revel & Light, for transforming the space with their stunning lighting and candle installations.

Thinking of a May wedding? Here’s why it might be your best decision yet!
Autumn is nothing short of magical. Think golden light, cooler temps and stunning seasonal colours. But beyond the beauty, May can also be kinder in your budget and planning timeline.
🤎 Slightly lower venue rates
🤎 Vendors are often more available
🤎 Cooler weather - perfect for suits and long dresses
🤎 That dreamy, golden hour glow hits different
The best part? You don’t have to compromise on style or experience.
Here are some snippets from S & S wedding 4 years ago proving Autumn wedding can be just as stunning!

P.S. happy four years @samuel.tong & @stephanietong__ we hope to see you again soon!
The first four months have flown by and what a ride it’s been.
We’ve proudly hosted everything from Ford’s 10-year celebration, marking a decade of success with the Ranger, to uniquely designed corporate gatherings with each one bringing its own style and purpose to our space.
We also welcomed the stylish launch of Mercedes’ new electric G-Wagon, along with a mix of unforgettable weddings, epic stag dos, and milestone birthdays that went off with true flair.
Each event has brought something special to our venue, and we’re so grateful for the energy, creativity, and joy you’ve all shared with us. It’s a true reminder of just how versatile Kauri Bay really is.
We’ve had our hands full and we’re loving it, but we’re not slowing down anytime soon...
The next few months are shaping up to be just as exciting, with some big plans in the works that we can’t wait to share.
Stay tuned for new events, special experiences and even more magic happening right here - it’s only just getting started!
From sunrise to sunset, we remember. Lest we forget.
