Bridgewater Estate - Exclusive Wedding Venue

We couldn’t have asked for anything more at this venue, the gardens, multiple ceremony spots, bridal suite and chalet for couples to stay the night of the wedding make this place magical. We married on 23 March 2023, used the ceremony space in the forest (amazing twilight vibes) and had the cocktail menu for 70 guests down in the garden area then later moved to open/indoor reception area. The whole event had an amazing flow, we had comments from our guests on how well laid out this venue is. It differs from all others just because of how majestic and well thought out the grounds are. The photo opportunities are endless. Justin and Tracey are the cherry on top! They are incredibly flexible, nothing is ever a hassle and how friendly they are makes the experience. Justin on the day made sure we were happy and the event flowed, they truly are hard workers. Couldn’t ask for more! I want to get married again here haha

Absolutely the best!As soon as we stumbled upon this venue we pretty much knew this was it! A naturally stunning location, all our guests were so happy and looked after. The food was so good!Tracey & Justin + the team made the day run so smoothly and they were so kind and helpful to any of our needs.Every step in the process was informative and wasn't overwhelming the way it all came together.Thank you so much for making our day be beautiful and one we will never forget ❤️

Thank you Justin and Tracey for making our wedding day absolutely perfect! Right from the start with the planning and questions to the day of the wedding both of you were very helpful and accommodating to everything that we wanted.All our guests were amazed and loved the beautiful location we chose, we still keep receiving compliments of the venue, the food, the decorations and even the birds chirping in the background during our ceremony. Thank you to the team at Bridgewater for making our day so special and memorable.Jarrod and Cassy

I remember the first viewing in Bridgewater and I jumped in excitement and fell in love with the place. I can see myself marrying the man of my dreams and the joy that he saw from me decided that we choose this place. Even the couple who came with us decided to choose this place. Tracey and Justin are very hands-on owners and their team did an amazing job. They handled everything with ease. The wedding venue itself is absolutely stunning and the food were amazing. Everything you need in one site. We had so much fun during our wedding. Highly recommend!

Bridgewater is an INCREDIBLE venue! I have photographed many weddings here and every one has been wonderful. Justin and Tracey are amazing and will look after you so well!I love that they have three beautiful ceremony spots available. There new forest clearing spot is especially amazing as it provides some shelter from that harsh summer sun.There are so many beautiful and diverse spots for photos. One of my favourite spots is their onsite bush walk. It’s very rare to be able to get bush walk photos on your wedding day! Bridgewater has crafted a fantastic boardwalk through the bush, so it’s very easy to walk through.I also love that Bridgewater has styling packages available. They have an extensive array of decorations and they will work with you to set up the ceremony and reception according to your preferences. The best part? You don’t have to worry about setup and pack down. They will do it all for you!Lastly, THE FOOD is amazinggggg! They have option of a plated or buffet menu. Every meal I have had has always been phenomenal!

We had our wedding in May 2023 at Bridgewater Estate. We were initially attracted to the diverse range of ceremony location options and being able to have everything on the day in one location. Having the use of the bridal suite and the overnight accommodation was a huge plus as well.Working together with Tracey during the planning process was extremely easy, she was very detailed and had comprehensive answers to all of our questions. Tracey is experienced and intuitive, she was able to guide us through the planning process and it did not feel stressful at all!During the day, due to the ever-changing conditions of having an Autumn wedding, Justin was very reassuring and gave us and our MC great support and guidance so that the weather did not negatively impact the guests and our experiences.The ceremony location we went with was the new Forest location, and it was such a unique, whimsical place to have the ceremony and it really fitted our vibe. Plus we had the other beautiful locations in order to take pictures which we are thankful for.For the reception we picked the Grand Buffet option. We also had Vegan guests, and they were really well looked after as there were a number of food choices we could make for them. The Roast Beef Sirloin was a huge stand-out, it was cooked perfectly medium-rare - the quality of all of the food was just amazing!We would definitely recommend Bridgewater for any couple looking to plan their wedding. Absolute 5 stars on all fronts: wonderful food, beautiful venue and amazing help and support from all the team!

Our day, night and following morning at Bridgewater was beyond magical! We highly recommend having your special day at Bridgewater Estate.Justin and Tracey are so warm, kind and inviting. We knew the minute we saw the venue we were getting married there, the beautiful lush bushes, location and scenery are breathtaking. Justin and Tracey work with you to create your day and make it as easy as possible, which is another reason to choose this venue. They are organised, calm and keep you up to date with everything you need to know and do.They have so much to offer to make your day everything you have dreamed of and more.

Living in Australia and coming back to marry in NZ we needed a venue that would pretty much set our whole day up for us and after searching all over Auckland to Northland, Bridgewater was the only venue that could do that for us! We had only seen what we had on the internet and made contact with Tracey & Justin over email and phone, the communication from them was always prompt, detailed and helpful!The day of our wedding was set up perfectly, it was exactly how we had planned it at the meeting with Tracey 2weeks prior but it was 100times better when we actually saw it!Our guest had a wonderful evening and were still talking about our wedding a week later, Tracey & Justin we cannot THANK YOU GUYS enough times for making our day so magical,carefree and amazing!Highly recommend Bridgewater to anyone who wants a carefree wedding and at a venue that is totally amazeballs!!!Happy, grateful and appreciative for everything you guys did for us!!Ange & Dill xx

Our wedding was the most incredible day and went so smoothly thanks to the incredible Bridgewater team! Justin & Tracey had great communication and were so warm and helpful throughout the whole process. All our friends and family raved about the delicious food and beautiful scenery.
