THE FOOD - wow is the first word that comes to mind.
Every dish was bursting with flavour and perfectly executed. In the days following our wedding, we received countless compliments from our guests about the venue and especially the food. Many of them said it was the best they had ever had at a wedding.
Overall, Kumeu Valley Estate provided an exceptional wedding experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. Highly recommended!
Thank you, Kumeu Valley Estate from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so perfect.

The food was incredible, the venue looked amazing.
We had our wedding at Kumeu Valley Estate in May this year. Annette and her team were so accommodating and incredible. Annette helped us execute everything we wanted for the wedding - nothing was too difficult.
The food was incredible, the venue looked amazing, there were no hidden costs, and we've had nothing but great feedback from our guests. Thank you so much!

The food was absolutely amazing and staff were so lovely and attentive.
There aren't even the words to describe how magical Annette and team made our wedding day in March. From the ease of planning, to the rehearsal to the day itself, every detail was catered for and in the most relaxing yet thorough manner. The estate is beautiful day and night, and we were lucky enough to get sun but no doubt the place is beautiful in all weather conditions. The food was absolutely amazing and staff were so lovely and attentive. We had a truly professional yet magical day, it exceeded every expectation - and expectations were high! Thanks once again Annette and team, we wish we could have the same day all over again every year!

Kumeu Valley Estate was the first wedding venue we went to see and we fell in love instantly! Annette and Mike answered all our questions and even saved us money by letting us know we could hold our wedding on a Thursday with no minimum spend and as our date was the first week of January while everyone was off work, this made so much sense. Annette was so helpful throughout the whole process and made our day flow like a dream. She’s a Wonder Woman behind the scenes and helped make our day perfect. The venue was beautiful, the buffet dinner was divine (and complimented by all our guests!) and despite having to shift our outdoor ceremony inside on the morning of due to bad weather, Annette ensured everything ran smoothly and made the indoor venue option so beautiful that I completely forgot that I’d ever dreamed of our outdoor forest log wall! KVE is a venue that looks beautiful in photos but even better in person. If you’re after a rustic venue without it being too farm like, we can’t recommend KVE enough. Thank you again!!!

We visited KVE to see if it was a good fit for an Indian & Civil wedding with 200 guests in a single day. When we first met Annette & Mike, they told us that they have hosted Indian ceremonies before, but don’t do cookie-cutter weddings, & they were willing to be guided by our requirements. We left that first meeting feeling both welcome & confident that we were in good hands.
Their communication throughout the planning process & on the big day itself was incredible. Annette’s expertise shone on the week of the wedding when she guided us during our rehearsal and bent over backwards to get things ready for the big day.
The site looked absolutely amazing on the day of the wedding and was everything we had dreamed of. The staff are extremely professional and made us and our guests feel special throughout the day. Annette and her team worked very well with our other vendors to make sure they were in the right place at the right time.
The canapes, grazing table and dinner service was also an exceptional experience. Everyone loved the food and the professionalism of the KVE staff.
We cannot fault the venue or the team and highly recommend that you get married at KVE.

Annette and her team are awesome. Our guests were blown away with the excellent food and wonderful service, not to mention the beautiful building itself. We were married in less than desirable weather but that's why we chose KVE, the inside ceremony option that Annette had set up for us was gorgeous.
It was great to be able to walk away at the end of the night, no pack down or set up required for us - just picked everything up the next day. Annette is an experienced, organized superstar who did everything within her power to ensure we had an amazing day. A++

We couldn't have had a better wedding venue. We organised our wedding from overseas, and had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Annette helped us every step of the way, and took care of all the things we had no idea about (and there was a lot).
Her wealth of knowledge and experience made our day run SO smoothly, I know her and the team resolved so many hiccups quietly and expertly without us knowing! There was always a variety of food on our table to make sure we didn't miss anything while out on photos. The food was totally amazing - highly recommend the duck (melted off the bone) and salmon.
We had to have a last minute reschedule due to sickness, and Annette was SO amazingly accommodating and sprung into action to make things work for us. Couldn't recommend this venue more!!
Thank you SO much Annette and team for making our day so wonderful

This venue has such beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces & such a lovely rustic feel! The food is amazing, the chef & their team did a spectacular job - all our guests keep talking about how wonderful the food was & the great service! The red bougainvillea flowers on the outside of the building made for gorgeous family photos!!
We cannot thank Annette enough for all her help & support in planning such a special day & for making sure the day ran like clockwork!!
This is such an awesome venue for weddings or special functions! What an absolute Gem!!

We had our wedding at Kumeu Valley Estate in September last year. Kumeu Valley Estate was the perfect wedding venue! We felt the excitement towards our wedding after Annette shared and talked to us about the venue. We loved the Cherry Blossom and it was stunning, it was so beautiful and pink colour. The venue is stunning! Furthermore, they also have the wooden bridge and forest as well, our photographer took a lot of amazing photos. The planning and service by the staff was so amazing, it made our whole wedding process stress free. Annette was super helpful and easy to work with! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for an elegant and intimate wedding. We are so grateful for all Kumeu Valley Estate did for us to make our wedding a dream come true!

Annette and her team made our day more special than I ever could have imagined. Everything from the rehearsal to the clean up was taken care of so that as a bride I could relax and enjoy the day.

Kumeu Valley Estate was the venue of our dreams. We fell in love with the place just walking around the grounds, before anyone had even tried to sell it to us!! The forest location is an absolute dream and the garden area lovely for cocktails. There is plenty of shade for a hot sunny day and lovely grounds to walk around. The food is amazing and so varied, our guests raved about it! Annette is fantastic to deal with - communication was always a breeze. Mishaela was also fantastic organising our rehearsal and wedding day. Everything went so perfectly and we couldn't be happier.
