Kapiti Coast venue
May 6^th, 2011, 10:07am

Hi all, we're looking for a Kapiti Coast venue for a summer 2012 wedding. Somewhere beachy would be fab but even somewhere with nice grounds that is close to the beach would be cool. Ideally we would like to have the ceremony and reception in the same place and be able to accommodate as many people as possible however I can't seem to find anything online. It doesn't help that I live overseas and can't just jump in the car and have a look! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here a couple to look into: http://www.sudburyfields.co.nz/index.html http://www.executive-retreat.co.nz/ Other places we considered were the surf life saving clubs or community halls.

If you want beachy, even though its not Kapiti Coast...Boomrock is gorgeous Seaviews, also Pencarrow Lodge.

Here's a wedding I covered there in March. It's right by the beach and gets gorgeous amounts of light. http://candycapco.com/2011/03/16/mads-and-claire-paekakariki-surf-club/

It is a huge house with great facilities, huge front lawn and private access to the beach. Cheers, F

We've just been booked for a wedding here: www.greenolive.co.nz I believe they will setup a marquee. Not sure how far away it is from the beach, but it seems to be close to a river.

Just had a peek at your pics Candy - they are beautiful! Wow, the light is amazing. What a great location - would really suit a retro/kiwiana theme too.

Pictures from the last wedding I entertained there are here: http://www.djrichard.co.nz/kefalonia-kapiti-wedding-venue.htm Also worth considering is Kapiteranean, which is south of the Otaihanga (Southwards) intersection. Link HERE.
