Weddings

Write the next chapter in your love story at Ōmahanui Venue, Tauranga.

From the bamboo grotto to the manicured vista lawn, we have several picture-perfect ceremony spaces for you to choose from – both intimate and expansive.

As you exchange “I do” beneath the arms of the canopy of trees above, you’d be forgiven for thinking that time can, indeed, stand still. That’s the magnificence of Ōmahanui for you.

After the ceremony, guests can enjoy sipping champagne while journeying through our gardens before arriving at your dream reception. Come evening, bask in the glow of the pond lights, the open fire pit illuminates the garden, and guests dine and dance the night away in the spectacularly lit marquee.

You and us? It’s love at first sight.

“Omahanui was more than we could’ve ever imagined. The walk through the gardens from the ceremony to reception was an absolute dream! The team were so incredible to deal with. we Want to re-do our day over and over just so we can experience Omahanui again.”
