I’ve put together a list of my favourite venues in Clevedon from a photography perspective. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.

Kauri Bay is situated on top of a hill, with panoramic views of countryside and stunning views of the iconic blue waters of Kauri Bay, this is one of the best wedding venues in Auckland. Everything is in one location, which makes life easy for your guests. The food is top notch (think farm to table, fresh & balanced), the views will fill up your guest’s camera rolls, and did I mention they offer “extreme golf”, your chance for your guests to enjoy flexing their golf driving skills - teeing off into the valley! For more information, check out my venue review here.

2. The McCallum Residence

The McCallum Residence is one of the most prestigious Clevedon wedding venues. If you have seen a wedding with an incredible marquee - it was probably held here. Think a stunning old mansion, set upon secluded grounds with a private white shell beach. They have a large flat lawn that entends towards the beachfront, where they specialise in accomodating different style marquee’s which makes for excellent guest count hosting capacity, and the ability to make your wedding day it’s own. We recently photographed & filmed the McCallum family’s daughter’s wedding, you can view the blog post here.

3. Nocton Woolshed

Nocton Woolshed is a lovely, relaxed, family owned venue in Clevedon, with views of Maraetai. It is a restored old woolshed with stunning furniture to match. Catering is BYO, which really opens up your options - my couples have enjoyed a variety of food trucks, including Jo Bro’s recently, which went off a hit. If you’re looking for something relaxed but beautiful, look no further, I may be a bit biased as I photographed their daughter’s wedding, the venue owner is the most lovely person and you’ll be well looked after. For more information, you can read my venue review here.
