Celebrate your special day in true kiwi style at The Riverhead. Set amongst our centenarian oak trees, and picturesque gardens we have the quintessential New Zealand view; looking over the water to rural landscape.

The Boat House offers the perfect setting for your romantic ceremony and reception.

The Boat House is our function area that sits slightly to the north of The Riverhead, the historic tavern. It offers a large area with different zones that you can move between over the course of the day. You can have the ceremony on the lawn under a giant Oak tree over-looking the water, mix and mingle with congratulatory champagne and canapes under the gazebos, move through to The Boat House to dine, then relax and party in the blue room and it's decks. All areas have exceptional indoor - outdoor flow, wet weather contingencies, stunning views and the ambiance only gets better as the night falls. All functions are run under the watchful eye of our functions manager & team who will guide you through the day and ensure that it is everything you wish it to be.

The Boat House is an architecturally designed area adjoining the existing blue room, that was designed to reflect the boat building heritage of the area making The Boat House area seamless. It is temperature controlled and therefore perfect for stunning weddings, either in the heat of summer or even in winter. This area features beautiful wooden floors, white high beam rafters with permanent hanging flower decorations from the light pendants, white-washed walls and floor to ceiling opening windows all of which enhances the unique and expansive views over the river.

This area is the perfect canvas for you to create your dream wedding. 

The 25 minute journey to The Riverhead from Central Auckland can be half the fun, and we have seen some imaginative options, from horse drawn carriages, to helicopters, identical classic cars to Rolls Royces. And it gets even better as The Riverhead is the only venue in Auckland that has it's own dock, so you can arrive in style by boat.
