A selection of NZ gardens to visit
An exceptional wedding venue does more than just host a crowd—it orchestrates the rhythm of your entire day, seamlessly transitioning from the emotional weight of "I do" to the joyous celebration of the reception. The best spaces are purposefully designed to honour the ceremony, including 8 outdoor options and 3 indoor options. Offering picturesque backdrops like sunlit garden arches, sheltered vineyard arbours, or grand architectural framing that naturally draws every eye to the couple. Thoughtful layout flow ensures that guests move effortlessly from the vows to cocktail hour without missing a beat, while on-site versatility guarantees that rain or shine, the atmosphere remains effortlessly intimate and romatic.

"Jon and Shirley. Thank you for your talk, lunch and beautiful garden! We have all enjoyed this visit very much. Ladies are still commenting on their lovely day at your place! "
Visiting Jules' tropical paradise is amazing. Her knowledge of tropical plants is huge. Each time I visit, she introduces me to plants I didn't know about and will even show me photos of the flowers on her phone. The nursery is beautifully landscaped and an easy walk around. Plenty of parking for cars and buses as well. Well worth a visit.
" On behalf of the Hillcrest Garden Club, I would like to thank you both sincerely for our visit today. You have a beautiful garden and home , and we feel very fortunate to have experienced it all today. Your journey has been truly admirable given all the ups and downs you encountered along the way"
Anne and Ron a quick thank you for providing Somerfield Garden members with such a wonderful visit to your amazing garden (the tulip tree was a very special topic of interest and discussion) and also for the lovely home prepared lunch. You are getting a well deserved reputation for the quality of your delightful food and I have to confess that personally I ate far too much as I could not resist a second visit to the table.
As always, I had a MOST MARVELLOUS time at Garden Marlborough. I learned lots, enjoyed the company of many fine folk and saw many beautiful gardens.
"Jon & Shirley, Thank you for letting us view your wonderful garden. It is an inspiration to us all as well as a testament to your vision and hard work.
I attended several of Val's garden tours over the summer months.
Through a shared love of gardens and beauty pageants Val and I have worked together for years. I serve tea and coffèe at many of her garden tours and love how people embrace and linger in this beautiful space. For anyone wanting to embrace a city space, I cannot recommend this paradise of roses highly enough.
They are so good for the kids and adults it was like a world of wonder land with its hard worked products and tasty goods on the table. It might be made by hand, but you can tell it was worked on for months.
It is a must-see!
Hi Anne and Ron, Thanks again for the wonderful visit and afternoon tea on the 1st February, all our residents including myself had a great time. Your garden is just beautiful, it was wonderful to see all the love and care that you both put into creating it.
