CEREMONIES
Punawaitai ceremony venues are many and varied. There will be somewhere here especially for you to say your “ I do “.
The tranquillity and peace in the Coastal Country Garden with the new big oval lawn and the rose arch: there is the shade of the 110 year old Plane Tree with the Magnolia figurine in the back ground: the weeping birch by the pool, anywhere in the garden is yours to choose. Whether your numbers are big 200 + or small there will be a place that appeals just to you.
Or the Coastal Rustic Ceremony can be “ on the board” in the 100year old Woolshed ( seating for 90 + 60 standing viewing from the night pens): unlimited quests in the sheep yards under the 150 year old oaks with rustic rails and gates, or perhaps in the paddock among the old stumps and silver poplars in behind.
There is a place at Punawaitai especially for you to gather your friends and family for this joyous part of your day.
You are welcome to have your caterers do drinks and nibbles under the trees after your ceremony.
