Anam Cara Gardens

Anam Cara Gardens is a private 10-acre star rated garden estate with accommodation in Otaki Beach, Kapiti Coast. Where your wedding becomes an unforgettable multi-day celebration. Created for couples who want a beautiful, relaxed wedding with freedom to make the property their own. Just your people, settled into a place that feels like it's been waiting for you. If you've dreamed of a garden wedding, then read on: Arrive from 12pm the day before and settle into the luxe Villa (sleeps 14). Run through your ceremony rehearsal, linger over a rehearsal dinner, then sink into the outdoor Garden Spa (cedar sauna, wood-fired hot tub, ice bath, outdoor shower) beneath the trees. Wake to get ready on site, unhurried. Marry at one of several romantic garden ceremony locations and unique photo backdrops, wander into a relaxed garden party, then celebrate at the reception (Function Centre or marquee) and dance the night away, with option of an after-party at the Groom's Quarters (sleeps 4). The next morning, ease into a leisurely onsite self-catered brunch, with a 2pm late check-out. No rush, no clock-watching. Hosted hands-on by Tim and Teresa and a small circle of trusted contractors, all genuinely invested in ensuring your day runs seamlessly (we know we only have one chance to make it right) this leaves you to enjoy and make a lifetime of memories. Easy reach being 60 mins of Wellington city, 50 mins from Lower Hutt & Palmerston North. We look forward to showing you around!
