Let the dedicated wedding team at Kauri Bay take your thoughts and ideas and turn them into your perfect day. We will organise every fine detail from bespoke menus and arrangements to specialised transport and entertainment options.
Your wedding with us will start with the collection of guests from the desired location and ensure they are transferred to The Lodge in comfort and style. Your ceremony may be held on-site; we have all-weather options catered for boasting panoramic views.
Activities are available for your guests to enjoy and multiple bridal photography locations are available on the property. A specially tailored menu to suit you and your guests will be served while you continue to enjoy the day’s celebrations.
Your ceremony may be held onsite, as we have covered all weather conditions, each boasting panoramic views. Our ceremony areas both provide a romantic and intimate space to share your vows.
After you’ve said ‘I do,’ your guests can enjoy canapés, bubbles and a range of light-hearted activities while your photographer takes some snaps before guiding you around the property to explore a number of secluded locations that provide the perfect backdrop for your memories.
Enjoy a delicious seasonally crafted menu prepared by our resident Head Chef Jeroen. Celebrating farm to table ingredients, along with carefully selected wine pairings, your cuisine can focus on the Shared Platter Style or a more traditional Three Course setting.
