TARANAKI WEDDING VENUES
Your guide to choosing a wedding venue in Taranaki
Taranaki is filled with so many gorgeous nooks and crannies, with epic views of mountain and ocean and rolling farmland - and there are some equally epic wedding venues,! Here's a guide to the Taranaki region's main wedding venues - whether you are looking for that perfect beachside wedding venue, or some charming wee garden - all in one handy place for you. Of course there are so many options for where to get married/party - restaurants, community halls, backyards, churches, public buildings and gardens (Tupare has to be a stand out option and how iconic is the Bowl of Brooklands) and so on, so this the list is in no way exhaustive - if you'd like further ideas on where to tie the knot in a location completely unique to you, I'd love to chat!

#1 - New Plymouth's coolest little Wedding Venue: The Milkshed
If you want to get married somewhere that isn't quite like anywhere else, that has a super cool grungy vibe, and you can party all night with no curfew - check out this new addition to Taranaki's wedding venue line up. It comes with its own alpacas, a pig and has a spacious, manicured front lawn to boot.
#2 The most gorgeous garden venue: Waiongna Gardens
This gorgeously manicured garden has so many charming nooks and crannies, your biggest problem will be deciding which ones to utilise for your ceremony. If you haven't been out here as part of the garden festival, it's worth spending a sunny sunday afternoon exploring.
#3 - New Plymouth's latest & greatest addition: Te Maru Farm
With more than enough room to swing a cat (and a horse, a pig and a dog - which conveniently you'll all find at the Farm) this new venue has space for 180 guests, divine indoor/outdoor floor, gorgeous grounds and this just massive, beautiful wooden barn.
