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!!

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.

We found Bridgewater Estate on Google while looking for a venue for our wedding. With only one trip to the venue - we knew this place was the one for our special day! Bridgwater has many options for ceremony spots, has a separate cocktail / canape area and a separate area for reception. Not only did we love the venue, Tracey and Justin were amazing leading up to the wedding day and on the day as well. The decorations they did for us for the wedding as part of the decoration package were amazing and the service from the staff on the day were flawless. Thanks again Tracey and Justin!

We're so happy that we chose Bridgewater as our wedding venue!
We loved the location from the moment we set foot there, so many beautiful spots all in the one place.
Justin and Tracey made the planning process a breeze, always friendly, organised and professional, we knew we were in safe hands.
Our day went off without a hitch, and all our guests were impressed by the food, service and surroundings.
Thanks again!

We recently got married at Bridgewater Estate and I would highly recommend. Our day ran perfectly, it was stress free and relaxed for everyone. We were especially appreciative of the support and understanding of Tracey and Justin while trying to plan a wedding during covid times. We feel this venue is exceptionally great value and in a fabulous location.

We got married here in mid-February 2022. Thank you so much to all the team at Bridgewater for making our day so amazing. From our first meeting when viewing the venue, to the final touches, Tracey and Justin made everything so straightforward and easy. The venue and grounds are stunning and versatile, food is fantastic, and all of the staff went out of their way to make everything perfect. The decorations package makes life so much easier - Tracey has so many options available to make the perfect arrangement. Everything ran like clockwork and you won't need to worry about a thing! All of our guests had a wonderful time and are still commenting on how beautiful the venue was. We can't recommend Bridgewater enough - thanks again Tracey, Justin and the whole team.

Myself and my new wife were lucky enough to get married in this beautiful spot.
Stunning, picturesque views were great for photos and the venue boasted a beautiful forest trail that was not only great for photo opportunities but a welcome relief from the blistering sun we had on that day!
Justin was extremely well organized in ensuring the day went as planned and from what we could see, there was not a single fault. Everything went smoothly despite our timetable shifting here and there and though the day was a whirlwind for us, we always felt like things were under control by all involved.
The staff were amazing! Very professional, the service was great and we felt that any and all requests by us would be accommodated-- as Justin had told us, "It's your day, if you want something, we'll sort it for you", which I think is indicative of the experience and is appreciated.
Overall, I think everything can be summed up by my wife's words to me as the evening was drawing to a close: "This is the best night of my life!"

Justin and Tracey were absolutely fantastic to deal with. We fell in love with the venue from day one and Justin went above and beyond to meet our needs. We loved the gardens, outdoor undercover reception area and so much space for wedding photos without having to leave the property. Justin and Tracey had a very friendly, calm and down to earth manner which made the whole experience very enjoyable. Justin was so thoroughly organised and everything went so smoothly on the day. All the staff were really friendly, provided good service and the buffet was great. It was such a stress free day with all the set up and pack up all done by Bridgewater. We cannot recommend you more highly. Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!

Such an amazing venue for a wedding. Beautiful gardens, friendly, helpful and organised staff, nice vegetarian buffet, stress-free with the large variety of decorations to choose from (don’t have to buy your own) and they set up and pack down everything for you. Thank you Justin for everything you did to make our wedding a perfect day! We highly recommend having your wedding here!
