VENUES
Our heritage-listed buildings will add a unique ambience to your event whether it’s a personal occasion such as a wedding or anniversary celebration, or a corporate event or conference.
Once you choose Abbeville Estate, we’ll help make the business of organising it a pleasure.
As part of this, all catering is provided by The Great Catering Company whose philosophy of Serving Amazing Anywhere has seen them grow to become the undisputed leader in both the private and corporate market.
Perfect for relaxed cocktails on the lawn to memorable weddings and christenings in the Church. From extraordinary corporate events in the Homestead to fashion shows in the Barn.
THE CHURCH
After 150 years of faithful service to Mangere and Onehunga, the Church was relocated from its old home a short distance away to Abbeville Estate. Oriented to catch the light through its stained glass windows, the Church has been carefully restored to celebrate its past.
The Church’s original timber pews can seat up to 70.
THE HOMESTEAD
Built in 1854, the Homestead was christened Abbeville in the 1930s. Its transformation has been remarkable.
The Homestead seats 80 in its main dining room. Large doors lead from this room to a welcoming Garden Room which can be used as a conference break-out space or cocktail area. The Garden Room seats 20 and with the doors open, the entire dining and Garden Room flow into one. A separate parlour provides a private space for dressing and function preparations.
For events that do not require seating, the Homestead can accommodate up to 180.
THE BARN
An original part of the Homestead, the Barn offers an authentic and rustic air to any event. The hewn timber frames speak of over 150 years of history. Below your feet, rustic flooring adds a earthiness to the space.
The Barn can comfortably accommodate up to 200 guests for cocktails.
THE GARDENS
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 – the perfect setting for nibbles and beverages for any occasion.
WESTNEY HOMESTEAD
Westney Homestead offers a charming backdrop for your ceremony, outdoor dining space or cocktail function! The perfect backdrop to any outdoor soirée here at Abbeville Estate.
MARQUEE EVENTS
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.
The options are endless at Abbeville Estate and with our great team of preferred suppliers, we will help you create an event to remember!
