We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a breathtaking venue for our special day. The enchanting forest first captured our hearts, but on the day of the wedding, every corner of the grounds looked absolutely picture-perfect. We also appreciated the beautiful wet-weather backup option, though we were lucky enough not to need it.
Both my husband and I have a Nana with limited mobility, which was initially a concern for us. However, the team thoughtfully provided a golf cart, ensuring they could move safely and comfortably between locations.
We opted for the grand buffet and were delighted that our guests were well-fed—no need for maccas on the way home. The generous portions allowed for seconds, ensuring everyone left satisfied.
Tracey was an invaluable guide throughout the wedding planning process, providing us with detailed information packs that made everything seamless and stress-free. Communication was effortless, with prompt and helpful responses to all our queries. A massive thank you to the Bridgewater team for bringing our vision to life so beautifully.

We are so incredibly happy that we chose Bridgewater Estate to be our wedding venue! It was perfect for our day! It is the most beautiful venue filled with lots of stunning spots to take photos at. Their new reception and dance floor area were fantastic too! We used their bridal suite to get ready at which we would recommend to make the morning of the wedding as relaxed as possible. Tracey and Justin were really lovely, helpful, and easy to work with. We highly highly recommend Bridgewater Estate for your wedding venue!

We were looking for a pop up style wedding location and instantly fell in love with the Bridgewater Country Estate property. Tracey & Justin run such an amazing venue and their all inclusive 4 hour pop up style wedding package is great value for money in our opinion (they also work with some great vendors).
It was such an easy breezy wedding experience as basically everything was taken care of. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the forest ceremony location was as well as the rest of the property being so well kept!
We highly recommend you take a visit to Bridgewater Country Estate for your upcoming wedding!

From the minute I saw Bridgewater I knew it was special and boy did it not disappoint! From the gorgeous grounds, decorations and fantastic staff I can’t fault it.
We had our wedding there yesterday and start to finish was the best day made extra special by Bridgwater. The food was exceptional, no one was left hungry, it was cooked perfectly and the flavours were incredible. Thank you thank you thank you Bridgewater and team for the magic you brought to our special day!

My wife and I got married at Bridgewater estate in late February 2024! From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism from Tracey and Justin.
The venue itself is breathtaking - we opted for a forest ceremony, which was perfect - it photographed beautifully but was intimate, spacious and well equipped for ambient, entrance and exit music. We then moved to the reception area, which was excellent too - our guests were stuffed, they loved the food, and had a great range of drinks.
What truly sets Bridgewater apart is their exceptional level of service, and how easy they made the process and event. The team was incredibly attentive, thoughtful and removed all of the stress from our Wedding.
On the day of the wedding, they ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and actually enjoy our celebration.
We are so grateful to the entire team at Bridgewater Estate and highly recommend this venue.

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 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!

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!
