Baylys' Farm

Stop, look no further and get married at Baylys’ Farm. The most stunning venue and lovely team. The photos don’t even do it justice, it is the most jaw-droppingly beautiful location. We are from Sydney and this venue is unmatched in Australia or New Zealand.

Honestly the BEST Venue in the Bay of Islands! If you love the beach this venue will be everything you've dreamed of and more. So many incredible spots for photos, the best golden hour as the sun sets behind the rolling hills. If this venue couldn't get any better it does being well organised, wide range of wedding knowledge, they will guide and support you to having the best day!Highly Recommend!

My husband and I had our wedding here in February 2022, and we truly cannot recommend Baylys' Farm more highly enough!! They do SUCH an amazing job. We feel so fortunate to have found them.Obviously, as a venue that is set up for events/weddings, Baylys' Farm knows EXACTLY what they are doing!! They have an incredibly helpful brochure/planning guide for their guests that clearly and easily lists need to know info and also recommendations for vendors in the area who have worked with Baylys before and have a good 'lay of the land'. This was SO helpful for us, because obviously, planning a wedding and knowing where to start can be so overwhelming. Oh my gosh, honestly, Baylys Farm did SUCH an amazing job and made our wedding dreams into a reality!! The fact that they also had a beautiful Marquee set up already, along with tables and chairs, also made things easier for us to organise, as those were all big basics that they had already taken care of for us!Not to mention, on top of all of that, that the venue is so massive and so beautiful, that you don't need to travel anywhere to get such PERFECT wedding day shots!! Beach shoot? No problem, it's there. Cliff side with ocean and mountains in the background? You got it! Dreamy shots in long dry grass? Mountains? Fields? Trees? Literally, almost anything you could dream of for your wedding photos, Baylys Farm almost definitely has you covered for the perfect locations. We couldn't have picked a better venue, and all our guests had SUCH a wonderful time. We were so happy with everything.The communication we had from start to finish with Baylys' Farm (Melita particularly) was SO great. She was always so quick to respond, and answered all questions we had so well and thoroughly. Her and the team at Baylys Farm are all so professional, and so trustworthy of handling your special day! In our opinion, they truly went above and beyond in looking after us, right from the beginning all the way to the very last moment of our wedding day/night. We were in such good hands and knowing they had things in control allowed us to really have the confidence to sit back, relax and enjoy our once in a lifetime day.Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Baylys' Farm!!!! Thank you SO SO much to Melita and the Baylys' Farm team for making our wedding day SO PERFECT! :')

Baylys Farm is an absolutely stunning venue for a wedding which we cannot recommend enough, we booked it sight unseen and do not regret that decision!! The Baylys Farm team make planning a wedding so easy with heaps of local vendor recommendations via a wedding brochure which for us being an overseas based couple made our planning/research even easier! Their communication was also next level with quick responses to emails. Our big day was stress free and I definitely credit that to Will, Melita & Ben’s ability to effectively manage the venue while also remaining in the background.

Look no further, you have found the wedding venue of your dreams. Baylys farm speaks for itself, if you are looking for coastal charm located on one of the most beautiful historic farms in the Bay of Islands, then this is the venue for you. BUT - what truly sets this wedding venue apart from the others is Melita and Will. They put there hearts and souls into ensuring you are prepared for the big day and they provide you with everything you need to be set up for success. When we first started planning we viewed quite a few potential venues, however they all lacked something, be it the service experienced on viewing or being underwhelming and oversold on the likes of instagram. So when we met with Melita at this point I didn't have my hopes up. Boy was I wrong, one meeting with Melita showing us around, answering my 101 questions was all we needed, we walked away feeling as if we had found the one". Come the big day

A truly remarkable venue with the most beautiful vista.Melita was incredibly accommodating and made our wonderful day even more special.Due to Covid, our wedding was a small wedding with about 20 people but the entire day was perfect. I couldn’t imagine a better place to start our happy ever after.Thank you for making dreams come true!Andy and Ayaka

Amazing Venue and Hosts! We absolutely fell in love with Bayly's Farm when we stumbled across it on Instagram. We got married in February 2022 at Bayly's Farm and our instant love for the venue did not disappoint, the location is just stunning and the experience we had was amazing. Will and Melita have created something truly special at Bayly's Farm, and you can tell they have poured their heart and soul into creating a venue to host your special day, with several touches that have been carefully considered and put together to make planning your day a breeze! We are not from Northland so the information received was highly appreciated and very useful. The communication was always top notch and we received fantastic service on the day it all ran so smoothly thanks to the team at Bayly's Farm!If you are considering this venue, it is absolutely worth every penny!

What a venue!Bayly's farm hosted our wedding and I truly can't imagine a more picturesque place. The scenery was amazing, Melita, Will and Ben were easy to deal with and took everything in their stride.To help you organise everything they provide you with a brochure containing their recommended vendors (and the ones we chose were truly top notch).We are very much looking forward to all of our professional photos to be completed so we can share everything, but in the meantime a couple of amateur photos below to give you an idea of how amazing this place is.Thanks again to Bayly's Farm, you guys are amazing!

Bayly's Farm is the most stunning wedding venue. The team there are so nice, super helpful and organised. Their knowledge and guidance really took a lot of stress out of the planning process. We had my family and a few friends over from Ireland and they were amazed by the beauty of the surroundings. We even saw dolphins in the bay as we set up the day before the wedding. Couldn't recommend Baylys more. Such a special place!

We had the best wedding day at Baylys' Farm in March 2022. We could not have asked for a more beautiful location - it is absolutely stunning! The Baylys' Farm team were a dream to deal with - helpful, organised and really responsive. Thanks so much Melita, Will and Ben for playing a huge part in making our day so special!
