Settlers Country Manor is one of West Auckland's most loved heritage venues, set on seven acres of gardens in the heart of Kumeu. Just 25 minutes from Auckland CBD, this restored century-old manor has multiple spaces for your ceremony, reception, and photography. Couples can exchange vows beneath romantic garden archways, followed by cocktails under the covered verandah. In warmer months, the grounds come alive with fairy lights and bright blooms. The venue's distinctive banquet hall is perfect for seated receptions of up to 370 guests. Vintage interiors, open fireplaces, and ambient lighting create a warm, refined atmosphere no matter the season. The in-house chefs offer flexible catering options ranging from elegant canapés to formal banquets using the best local ingredients. On-site amenities include ample parking, a dedicated events team, all-weather facilities, and a network of top-tier local vendors. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Settlers Country Manor is a one-of-a-kind backdrop to bring your wedding vision to life.

Me and my husband got married at the Settlers in early May 2025. I fell in love with the venue- it was love at first sight! haha Abigail was very supportive and always responded via email very fast. The food was AMAZING, the atmosphere of the venue is fantastic and makes you not want to leave! The whole wedding was like a dream and I would definitely highly recommend this venue for anyone who would like to experience a 'princess in a castle' type of wedding, it was just superb!

We had our wedding at Settlers Country Manor on Thursday and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, the team were incredibly helpful, responsive, and accommodating. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Our guests were blown away by the setting, and we received so many compliments about how beautiful and well-kept everything was. Originally, our ceremony was planned to be held outside, but due to bad weather it had to be moved indoors. The staff handled the change so seamlessly. When we arrived, everything was already set up beautifully and with such care. It still felt just as magical and special, and we’re so grateful for how smoothly they managed the transition. The entire day ran perfectly thanks to the amazing staff, who were so attentive and went out of their way to make sure everything was just right. The food was delicious and the service was top notch The atmosphere was exactly what we had hoped for. A special thank you to Abigail and the team for making the whole process so easy and enjoyable. We’re so grateful for everything and would highly recommend Settlers Country Manor to anyone looking for a magical wedding venue.

We had our wedding at Settlers Country Manor and it has been a very great time. The Manor is of strong character, and an amazing place to taking photos. I was impressed when I stepped into this place with a history of 100 years. It is very well maintained but not without modern technologies (i.e. comfortable lighting, air con, video/audio equip). I would recommend you at lease have a visit if you are looking for a venue for 100 people in Auckland. By the way, the manager was so helpful and worked many nights for us. We appreciated everything that Settlers have done for us and a big thank to them.

Me and my Husband celebrated our wedding at Setters last Saturday. It was by far the most perfect day, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue and wonderful team at Settlers. Abigail is amazing she was so kind and caring through the whole experience. From the first meeting until the day she was always prompt in her helpful replies and of making our vision come to life. The ceremony area is stunning, we chose the below garden ceremony area and it was perfect on the summery day with nice shelter from the trees. Cocktail hour was so much fun in the upper lawn and we were looked after with canapés and drinks getting brought to us by the team. Though the schedule went right out the window the team rolled with everything and it turned out to be the most amazing day. All our guests are still raving about the wonderful place and food!

This is the most underrated wedding venue in Auckland! We had our wedding there recently and we were blown away by everything. The absolutely mouthwatering food, the decorations, the attentive and helpful staff. They went out of their way to make our day special. The bridal prep room and honeymoon suite is 5 star and spotless. Special mention to Abigail and Lucas who made our dream day come true! If you're looking for a wedding venue, don't look further. Their included decor is breathtaking and the all inclusive menu caters for all sorts. The oysters were super fresh and the variety something to behold. They have a very unique venue with cozy fireplaces and a warm feel to it, with lots of detail everywhere. They truly gave us a worry free wedding! Thanks Settlers Country Manor

Settlers was the perfect venue for us for our wedding. Abigail was so helpful right from the start with great communication. I loved that the bridesmaids and I were able to get ready at the venue in a beautiful room as well. The building itself and the grounds are beautiful and provided the perfect backdrop for our day and photos. There are also lots of options for where to have your ceremony and photos, including covered options for bad weather. Additionally the food was incredible, the guests raved about it. Our day went so smoothly thanks to Abigail and her team and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Had our wedding here a couple weeks ago and it was amazing! Working with Abigail made it easy to organise a wedding from overseas with a 12 hr time difference. We got many compliments on the food - delicious! Settlers is beautiful and there are so many spots for magical pictures. Despite the recent weather events, everything came together perfectly. Wish I could do it all over again! Thank you.

Settler's Country Manor was the absolutely perfect venue for us to have our wedding at. From the planning, setting up, ceremony, and reception, Abigail and her team were along for the ride every step of the way and there is no way we would have been able to pull off such a perfect event anywhere else. They even went to the effort to create a full vegan menu for us which the guests could not stop raving about!

Choosing Settler's Country Manor for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made through the wedding planning process. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The venue itself is breathtaking and Abigail and the team were incredibly professional, attentive and accommodating. The level of service we received was top notch, from the delicious catering to the seamless coordination, every aspect of our day was executed with precision and care. What sets this venue apart is the attention to detail. Actions like like bringing the bridal party a basket of canapes while we were having photos taken, or colouring the pond blue to better show in photos were such thoughtful gestures, details we hadn't thought of but were second nature for the team at Setter's. Our guests were equally impressed, commenting on the beauty and fantastic atmosphere it provided. We are forever grateful to Settler's Country Manor for making our wedding truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a magical place to say 'I do'.

Amazing experience across the whole life cycle of venue viewing, months of planning, then a smooth and seamless wedding night. Abigail was super accommodating with our requests, communication was great, and her level of organisation/professionalism was world-class. The venue is stunning and we loved the new bridal prep room. Food was delicious, great portion sizes and perfectly cooked. Cannot recommend highly enough.
