**Markovina Estate are proud winners of the 2025 NZ Wedding Industry Awards for "Outstanding Wedding Reception Venue" & "Outstanding Wedding Luxury Estate"**

Situated on 10 acres of beautiful gardens & water features, our venue has been specifically designed for weddings. The estate offers an indoor and outdoor flow in a truly tranquil setting with your dining experience seated indoors under a canopy of vines.

As the perfect location to hold your ceremony and reception, we have nine different locations providing complete choice for you to choose the look and feel you want for your special day. Included in these options, is our schist fireplace with floor to ceiling windows, making it still feel like you are nestled in the gardens.

Furthermore, this is a beautiful area that can be opened with easy indoor and outdoor flow with the gardens for a shaded summer ceremony location, or a warm and dry area as a Plan B weather alternative.

Our venue is a photographers dream, with so many different options for capturing dream photos without having to leave our estate. We have recently created our newest ceremony location with the backdrop of our Cherry Blossom Round and planted rows of flowering white pear trees, this enchanting setting is sure to enhance your special day.

Alternatively, have you decided to plan your special day at short notice, or are you looking to hold a smaller wedding below our minimum numbers but still wanting it to be magical?

Additionally, for any couples planning to get married with less than two months’ notice, we release a range of available dates at a reduced minimum spend and minimum guest numbers, subject to availability for your consideration.

In addition, while our standard packages typically cater to a minimum of 55 guests, we are more than willing to tailor a customised package to accommodate smaller groups, ensuring your special day is nothing short of amazing. You can be confident that we will craft a memorable experience for you and your intimate gathering, no matter its size.

Moreover, as with all our functions, we only operate one event per day, and you have access to all our beautiful gardens to create magical memories. Your guest will enjoy our stone fireplace and our main reception area under a canopy of vines. Our focus at Markovina Estate is to create amazing memories that will last a lifetime.
