This venue can host any wedding style during any season of the year, even if you're limited on time and budget.

Imagine Abel Estate at night when the moon reflects off the lake, taking evening photos to capture the backdrop of stars and the distant city lights; any Auckland wedding photographer would line up to catch this still image!
To entice you a little further, they offer an inclusive menu to suit any unique requirements you may have, ranging from a three-course meal to a buffet style, and either of those can be vegan options.

If you still haven’t, here’s a few newly weds that’s been raving about Abel Estate!
We had our wedding at Abel Estate three weeks ago, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Planning a wedding from overseas is not easy, but Abel Estate made the entire process seamless. One of the main reasons we chose this venue was because of their styling packages designed for overseas couples. We had multiple video meetings and were given a very detailed overview of everything, which gave us confidence every step of the way.
What made it even more special was how the team helped us merge two cultures for our hybrid wedding. From the design and decorations to the food and cultural elements, everything was beautifully thought out and executed. It was clear they truly understood and respected what was important to us.
We took a gamble by booking without seeing the venue in person and only seeing it for the first time on the wedding day, but it paid off! The venue was absolutely stunning, and our day was magical from start to finish. Accessibility was also a huge plus, as my grandmother uses a wheelchair, and it was easy for her to move around the venue comfortably.
Thank you so much, Abel Estate, for helping us create memories we’ll cherish forever.
Thank you and your team for hosting our dream wedding. The changeover in companies was done effortlessly. You guys were so accommodating and all questions were answered when anything popped up, it made us feel that much more at ease on our special day. The venue is amazing and will always hold a place in our hearts. Soooo many photo opportunities on site, it made photo taking so much more easier and ment we didn't have to leave our guests for too long. The food was beautiful and there was PLENTY of it. Overall, ourselves and our guests had an amazing day! One we would relive everyday if we could!

Amazing location. Beautiful. The staff are warm，accomodating and William responds quickly and does his best to cater for everything to make your wedding perfect. He gave it a personal touch and he does try his absolute best with your requests. Everything went so well and it made that aspect of the day less stressful. The food was wonderful and we had our guests commenting on how brilliant the food was. He was great in catering for different dietary needs such as GF/halal/vegetarian. I highly recommend this place if you are wanting a smooth wedding. If its where something unexpected happens，you can trust that William will think of a way to make it your best day for your wedding.
