What we do at Settlers Country Manor
Settlers Country Manor is a dedicated wedding venue located in Waimauku, near Kumeu in Auckland, set within a spacious rural property that offers both outdoor garden settings and indoor function spaces. The venue is known for its established grounds, historic manor character, and the ability to host wedding ceremonies and receptions on the same site. This allows couples to plan their entire wedding day in one location, with smooth transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, dining, and evening celebrations.
The outdoor areas include manicured lawns and garden spaces that are well suited to garden ceremonies, group photographs, and relaxed guest gatherings. These spaces provide natural backdrops that work across different seasons, whether couples are planning a summer garden wedding or a spring celebration surrounded by greenery. For indoor options, the manor offers character-filled rooms that can be configured for ceremonies, receptions, or both, giving couples a practical alternative in case of weather changes. This flexibility is a key reason many couples choose the venue, as it reduces logistical stress while keeping the day cohesive for guests.
Settlers Country Manor has built a strong reputation as a wedding venue by hosting a range of private and high-profile celebrations. One notable wedding was that of Aafreen Vaz, former Miss Supranational Asia and Oceania, which was featured by Femina India. The venue was also chosen for the wedding of Shortland Street actress Charisse Uy, known for her role as nurse Lovely Rivera, and her husband Chris Groen, with coverage originally appearing in Now To Love NZ. These weddings reflect the venue’s appeal to couples seeking privacy, space, and a setting that feels both personal and refined.
The property’s visual character has also made it suitable for creative and cultural productions. Settlers Country Manor has been used as a filming location for the Minecraft Movie, as well as a venue for NZ Opera’s production of Jonathan Dove’s opera Mansfield Park, based on Jane Austen’s novel. These uses demonstrate the adaptability of the manor and grounds, and reinforce its suitability for events that require both atmosphere and practical space.
For weddings, the venue supports a wide range of styles and guest numbers, from intimate ceremonies to larger celebrations. The layout allows guests to move easily between outdoor and indoor areas, and the open grounds provide ample room for photography, mingling, and entertainment. Couples often value the sense of exclusivity that comes with the property, as weddings are able to feel private and self-contained without interruptions from the outside.
Located within driving distance of central Auckland while retaining a rural feel, Settlers Country Manor offers a balance between accessibility and escape. Guests can reach the venue without difficulty, yet once on site, the surroundings feel removed from the city. This makes it appealing for couples who want a countryside-style wedding without traveling far from Auckland.
