Hidden By Nature
Open to the world

The heritage-listed buildings and landscaped grounds that make up Abbeville Estate are over 150 years old and have been meticulously restored and contemporised for the needs of today.

They offer you a wealth of ways to tailor them to suit your event.

From relaxed cocktails on the lawn to memorable weddings and christenings in the Church. From fully catered celebrations in the Homestead to extraordinary corporate events and fashion shows in the Barn.

And all within easy reach of the growing amenities of Auckland Airport.

Your wedding day…

From relaxed cocktails on the lawn to memorable ceremonies outdoors or inside the Church.

The Homestead seats up to 80 in its main dining room.
The Garden Room seats 20 and with the doors open

An original part of the Homestead, the Barn offers an authentic and rustic air to your wedding. The hewn timber frames speak of over 150 years of history. Below your feet, rustic flooring adds an earthiness to the space.

The traditional landscaped grounds surrounding the historic buildings includes a kitchen garden whose produce is harvested freshly for our menus. Rolling farmland and trees ring the property for privacy, while the canopy of the Estate’s stately Puriri tree provides cooling shade. There is no limit to the number that can be accommodated in the gardens. Seating can also be organised, whether open air or on the lawn under a marquee.

Taking care of your event

With its close proximity to Auckland Airport, Abbeville Estate can offer facilities for small or large meetings, conferences, team building, product launches and client soirees. The homestead and the barn make for interesting destinations to have any number of corporate entertaining and training events.

Cocktail, anyone? 🍸

Signature cocktails are more than a pretty menu detail, they’re a great way to add personality to your day.

Think back to your first date, your favourite place to travel, or a drink you always order together. Our in-house mixologist can take that inspiration and turn it into something bespoke, fun, and totally yours.

Plus, it’s always a guest favourite 🍸
Keeping wedding guests engaged doesn’t mean packing your day full of entertainment. Sometimes, it’s as simple as changing up the scene.

Start your ceremony in a garden, move to a more open space for dinner and speeches, then shift to the courtyard for cocktails and dancing. It’s a subtle way to refresh the energy and keep things feeling dynamic without adding pressure or logistics.
As we're fully amongst the autumn months, it's time to embrace our favourite seasonal florals.

Dahlias, chrysanthemums, and roses take centre stage, with hydrangeas adding depth and sunflowers, zinnias, and asters bringing that perfect rustic touch.

Not sure where to start? Don’t worry, our expert florists will help bring your vision to life, even if you’re still figuring out what that is!
Curating your wedding playlist? Don’t forget the in-between moments.

While we love seeing guests up on their feet, mingling and celebrating, sometimes it’s just as important to have a calm little corner to retreat to.

A lounge space like this offers the perfect balance: soft seating, a warm atmosphere, and just enough distance from the action to take a breather - whether it’s for catching up with old friends, resting your feet, or quietly soaking in the day.
