Venues
Choose from one of three stunning Coromandel beach locations:
Cooks Beach
Cooks Beach is named after the famous explorer James Cook who landed here in 1769. Sand dunes lead you down to a white sandy shoreline which stretches out over 3kms. It is flanked at the eastern end by the Purangi Estuary and at the western end by a freshwater stream – both very picturesque wedding locations. Easy, flat access, plenty of parking close to the beach for your guests.
Front Beach
Front Beach is a breathtaking venue for a wedding featuring a kilometre of white sandy beach, overhanging gnarled pohutukawa trees, and spectacular views out over the Coromandel coastline and offshore islands of Mercury Bay.
Lonely Bay
You will fall in love with this secluded, unspoilt bay the moment you see it. Surrounded by 60-metre cliffs and native bush and fringed by magnificent old pohutukawa trees to provide a shady haven on hot sunny days. Only access is by a steep bush path (approx 5mins down but 10 back up!). The memory of the moment the path opens out and you step onto the sands of this unique vista will remain with you always. Best suited for small wedding groups and elopements.
Your celebrant
A wedding is a time for joy and celebration, and I consider it an honour and a privilege to take part in this very special occasion. My role as a Marriage Celebrant is one I am passionate about. My aim is to help each couple create a unique, meaningful ceremony that reflects their personalities and expresses their feelings for each other.
As a Marriage Celebrant, I like to think my enthusiasm and love for what I do is reflected in the ceremony and is conveyed to the participants.
This is your day, so my promise to you...the memory of your wedding day will be one you will treasure for all the days to come.
Your reception
Our reception venue is a well-presented restaurant right in the heart of Cooks Beach with enthusiastic staff willing to please.
Offering delicious food, an intimate setting, elegant decor, great service, and all completely yours for the evening.
We can customise a package for you if your guest numbers are below 40. We can offer you a very competitive and memorable experience if you are agreeable to a non-exclusive reception at a Whitianga beach front restaurant.
