Register for free entry here: weddingshowcase.co.nz THE ULTIMATE KIWI WEDDING VENUE Tui Hills is not a dressed-up function centre pretending to be “natural”. It's the real thing - a genuinely Kiwi wedding venue set deep among native ferns, palms and bush in the Waitākere Ranges. From the moment guests arrive, the outside world drops away. Birds replace traffic noise. Towering Nikau palms and lush greenery frame every view. It feels private, immersive and unmistakably New Zealand - the kind of setting overseas guests remember long after the wedding, and locals recognise as something special. Just 30 minutes from central Auckland, Tui Hills delivers the rare combination couples are actually searching for: easy access, complete seclusion, and a setting that doesn’t need dressing up to feel extraordinary. CEREMONIES SURROUNDED BY NATURE The ceremony spaces at Tui Hills are designed around the landscape, not imposed on it. Walk down the aisle beneath native canopy. Exchange vows with ferns and palms as your backdrop, not cars and buildings. Weather never dictates the mood. With both outdoor and indoor ceremony options, couples can commit with confidence, knowing the experience remains seamless no matter what the day brings. Nearby coastal landmarks like Bethells Beach and dramatic Waitākere lookouts offer additional options for jaw-dropping photos and video — a genuine advantage for couples wanting a full New Zealand story captured in one place. REFINED SPACES, NOT RUSTIC COMPROMISES While the surroundings are wild and natural, the venue itself is polished, contemporary and purpose-built for weddings. Recent refurbishments strike a deliberate balance: clean lines, warm textures and modern comforts that elevate the experience without competing with the landscape. This is not rustic for the sake of it - it’s refined, intentional and comfortable. Reception spaces flow easily from day to night, allowing relaxed dining, speeches and dancing to unfold naturally rather than feeling forced into time slots. FOOD, DRINK AND A PROPER PARTY Great venues fall flat if the food disappoints. Tui Hills doesn’t. Menus are generous, flexible and designed to actually satisfy guests - not just photograph well. Couples can choose from multiple cuisine styles, from relaxed Kiwi favourites through to more elevated options, all supported by an optional drinks package that keeps the bar flowing for up to seven hours. As daylight fades, the venue transitions effortlessly into party mode. The dancefloor fills, the DJ turns it up, and celebrations run until midnight - without rushed endings. PACKAGES THAT MAKE SENSE Wedding planning is complicated enough without opaque pricing. Tui Hills keeps it clear. Packages are structured, transparent and adaptable, making it possible to host a premium wedding without the constant fear of budget blowouts. Couples can choose how hands-on they want to be, with options that include professional planning support and venue styling. For those who want to arrive calm and ready rather than exhausted, these inclusions matter more than most people realise. A DAY THAT STARTS EARLY AND FLOWS SMOOTHLY The Tui Suite is more than a getting-ready room. It’s a calm, private space designed for the morning to unfold properly. With drinks options, two professional hair and makeup stations, and room to settle in, the day can begin as early as 9am without feeling rushed or cramped. It sets the tone for a wedding that feels considered from start to finish. SECLUDED, SCENIC, AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY KIWI Tui Hills isn’t trying to be everything to everyone. It’s for couples who want their wedding to feel grounded, beautiful and unmistakably New Zealand — surrounded by nature, supported by professionals, and free from the generic. If you’re looking for an iconic Kiwi venue that feels a world away but works effortlessly on the day, Tui Hills delivers exactly that. To find out what our couples say, read the reviews below.

Tui Hills offers not only a stunning setting but also a genuinely supportive and experienced team. It’s rare to find a venue where beauty, organisation, food, and service are all delivered at such a high level. We felt completely cared for throughout the entire journey — from planning to the final moments of the reception. If you want a wedding day where you can truly relax, feel supported, and create unforgettable memories, Tui Hills is the perfect place. The staff were exceptional — warm, professional, and genuinely caring. They made both us and our guests feel welcome and looked after from start to finish. We noticed so many small thoughtful touches throughout the day, and it was clear the team truly cared about making our wedding special. The level of service exceeded our expectations. We were very happy with the food and drink experience. The presentation was beautiful, and everything was served smoothly and professionally. Many of our guests enjoyed the meal and commented on how lovely the evening felt.

The package selection made everything really easy and we were able to just tick boxes (exactly the low stress wedding we wanted) and let our amazing planner Virginia know what we wanted. Whatever we had in mind, she made it happen! Pricing was totally fair and coming from the UK we were impressed with the affordability. The venue alone was stunning with its natural beauty. We were so glad we picked the venue, sight unseen (we booked it from London!) and we were blown away. The flowers and design were spot on and we are so grateful! Styling was effortless and natural and we can’t wait to look back at the photos for years to come! The table setting were so elegant. Floralessence (one of the venue florists) did an amazing job with florals and I am so glad Tui hills work with them! My bouquet was STUNNING and my special request for white orchids was added with ease. Food was amazing and well presented- special favorites included the fish crudo and the chocolate mousse!

We were highly satisfied with our choice of Tui Hills, as their proficiency in organizing flawless events is truly exceptional. On your wedding day, you can arrive with complete assurance, as their day-of event coordination effectively mitigates all potential stressors. As a meticulous planner who focused on every detail of my wedding, I found that Tui Hills not only fulfilled my expectations but also proactively managed any potential issues before they materialized. Their extensive experience ensures that their guidance and planning are consistently accurate and impactful. Tui Hills is the optimal venue for a stress-free wedding with up to 120 guests. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the lamb and roasted chicken entrée. The portion sizes for the plated option were entirely satisfactory. The beverage package, spanning seven hours, demonstrated an excellent balance, and the dessert selection garnered significant positive feedback. Overall, the meal was exceptionally well-executed.

Couples should choose Tui Hills because it is beautiful and peaceful. The green hills and singing birds make it feel special. Weddings here are relaxed, personal, and unforgettable. The food and drinks are very good. The dishes are fresh and tasty, and there is something for everyone. The drinks, like cocktails, wine, and juices, are also nice. Everything is served well and makes the wedding special. The planning and service were excellent. Every detail was handled with care, making the day smooth and stress-free. The team was friendly and attentive, creating a perfect, intimate wedding that felt personal and special. Chelsea and her amazing team were exceptional - warm, calm, and incredibly thoughtful - going above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect.

Tui Hills is perfect for couples wanting a private, scenic wedding with a strong NZ bush feel. It’s especially well-suited for weddings with fewer than 120 guests. The venue is very customisable, and the more you invest, the more seamless and stress-free the experience becomes. Combined with the beautiful setting and supportive team, it’s a fantastic option for a relaxed but well-executed wedding. Our ceremony was at 4 pm, and the venue looked incredible. The greenery and natural bush setting created a really special atmosphere, and we even had a wood pigeon fly through during the ceremony, which made it feel very “NZ”. The fairy lights outside added a nice touch to the evening, and the indoor-outdoor flow worked perfectly. Our guests loved how private and secluded the venue felt, being tucked away from the street. We also loved the 3 distinct sections for the different parts of the wedding (Ceremony, canapé hour, and Reception)

Tui Hills felt special from the moment we arrived. The spaces are beautiful and thoughtfully designed, but it’s the people who make it exceptional. The team care deeply about the couples getting married there and it shows in every detail. They made the whole experience feel calm, joyful and effortless.

We were so impressed with both the venue and the services provided by the Tui Hills team, and would recommend Tui Hills to everyone! The venue was absolutely stunning, and felt very “Kiwi” with the surrounding nature, and this is exactly what we were hoping for. For any couples looking for a very New Zealand-inspired wedding, Tui Hills will be perfect for you. We massively appreciated the planning services provided, the team were extremely helpful and almost everything we asked for was able to be catered for which was amazing. We all loved the food and drinks provided, and had only positive comments from our guests. The food was all delicious and was cooked perfectly. The drinks package was excellent, and it was great that we could add on to this to tailor it to exactly what we wanted. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and the option of the concierge package is also a huge benefit for anyone trying to plan a wedding that doesn’t live in the area, and this made our wedding planning almost completely stress-free, even from the UK.

Tui Hills was more than just a venue—it was an unforgettable experience. The combination of wild, natural beauty and refined styling made our wedding feel magical, leaving a lasting impression on us and our guests. The look of Tui Hills was absolutely breathtaking, like stepping into the Garden of Eden within a tropical jungle. The abundance of flowers, lush greenery, and vibrant colors created an enchanting atmosphere, where every corner felt like a scene from a fairytale. The natural beauty of the venue blended seamlessly with the thoughtful design, making it a visually stunning setting for our wedding. The reception room was just as beautiful, carefully decorated to complement the surroundings. The floral arrangements, elegant table settings, and warm lighting created a welcoming yet sophisticated ambiance. Every detail felt intentional, from the placement of each bloom to the overall layout that encouraged connection and celebration.

It was the best value amongst all the other venues and packages we looked at + the vibe of Stephanie was what sealed the deal for us! The package made sense and definitely felt like the best bang for buck! The venue looked so magical and very well-made. It was raining a few days prior and yet we weren’t worried at all if we had to use the indoor space because it was just as high quality as the garden. We and guests always had that “wow” reaction from the moment we enter the Tui hills parking lot. It has that high curbside wow factor and then it does not disappoint inside. Definitely felt like a destination wedding. The food was delicious and our guests enjoyed it so much! Our international guests especially loved the craft hallertau beer.

The planning service was the icing on the cake - from the initial conversation with Virginia, to the planning meeting with Nadine to having Stephanie as our wedding host, everything was perfect. They all made it so stress free and made me feel really well looked after and excited for my day. At no point was I worried about anything with the venue or the timing. Thank you so much for all the organising and sorting each and every one of you did. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you! The service and friendliness of the staff was so great and we are both incredibly grateful for the service we have received and would not hesitate to recommend Tui Hills to anyone and everyone. The venue itself is so gorgeous - such a beautiful setting to get married. Even with the rain, it was absolutely gorgeous. Everything was styled beautifully and the greenery was exactly the look we were after - absolutely perfect.

The venue was absolutely beautiful and perfect! It had the exact greenery and lighting that we wanted. It was perfectly curated for our special day and the staff took great care and attention in how they decorated and planned the space for our wedding. The package was such a great option for us because we were both working professionals who did not have the time or mental bandwidth to plan the ins and outs of the wedding. Also, planning the wedding was overwhelming so having the pop-up wedding as a package was perfect for us and we are so happy with how the day turned out. The pricing was perfect for a wedding option and the team were very clear with what we could add and also very transparent with pricing. The styling and venue flowers were exactly what we wanted. I didn’t know what to expect with the flower styling but when I saw it in person, I got so emotional because it was exactly what I had hoped it would be and more. It was one of my favourite parts of the day.

Tui Hills basically includes a wedding planner as part of their package. Every detail had been discussed prior to the big day and it couldn’t have run smoother. There were no surprises and we were able to just enjoy the day stress-free. Everyone at Tui Hills was flexible and accommodating, they made sure that we were happy with all aspects of our wedding. Paige was fantastic and she brought us champagne straight after the ceremony and while our photos were being taken (because we couldn’t get to the bar). She also brought us over canapés and our dinner so that we got to try everything and didn’t have to go over to the buffet. I couldn’t stop smiling all day and many of our guests said it was the best and happiest wedding they had ever been to.

The Venue was so beautiful throughout the whole day and evening. We had so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how so many people had taken notes of things they wanted at their upcoming wedding. I would personally give the venue a 1000/10. It was 5-star food - amazing in every section. All the reviews we had from our guests were that the food was exceptional. The Tui suite was definitely one of the best decisions we made for the day. It made the getting ready process so easy, especially with last-minute things that needed to be sorted at the venue - I would definitely recommend.
