Real Stories
A huge thank you to you for coordinating the morning and being attentive.
It wouldn’t have been the same without you! The rest of TGCC staff were amazing as well!
Thanks again for all your help!
A massive thank you to Jess and her helpers, the Chef and his crew, for our magical Wedding day! The food was delicious, the staff were so helpful and were always there at the right time offering their assistance. We couldn’t have chosen a better place or catering company for our Wedding. We regret not popping into the kitchen to express our gratitude to the Chef and his kitchen staff. Thank you guys, Steve & Bronnie

Due to the venue being on Auckland Airport grounds, Photographers/ Videographers may operate a drone but not above 200ft AGL.
Any drone operator must log their flight plan on the Airshare website and comply with airways requirements – this will mean they will need to be contactable from the ATC tower at all times during the operation.
They will need to request permission for the drone to get airborne and advise when complete. Proof of permission will need to be submitted to our Event Coordinators prior to the wedding day.
We are privileged to work with some of Auckland’s best wedding suppliers from stylists, florists, entertainers, DJ’s celebrants, photographers and more which we are happy to recommend.

We have local bird life in and around the estate that we do not wish to disturb.
Our homestead can seat up to 80 guests (maximum capacity is 90) on long tables, if your party is larger than this, we highly recommend a marquee on the grounds. We can arrange this for you with our preferred suppliers who know the best options for your wedding!
