About Markovina Estate

Markovina Estate's experienced and flexible management have met and exceeded hundreds of couples individual needs and expectations since 1969 and is considered one of the best Auckland Wedding Venues.

We take pride in ensuring that each and every wedding reception we hold is as special for us as it is for you.  We only operate one wedding per day so you can choose the start and finish times to suit your requirements.

Our venue is specifically designed for weddings with guest numbers of 70 or more.  We have the flexibility with the design of our venue to ensure that smaller groups are able to have an intimate day as well as being able to open up our venue so that much larger receptions can enjoy the unique experience we create for you.

All of this is located within 20 minutes of Auckland's CBD.  Please take the time to contact us and make a time to visit our venue and we can discuss how we could make your day special.

Setting & Activities

Our water features are set in an acre of lovingly tendered gardens creating an exquisite backdrop for your ceremony and reception.

Your photographer will enjoy our venue as they will be spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing exquisite backdrops for you album.  We have viewed some of the work from photographers who have put together albums at our venue.  Feel free to have a look at the photographers work.

During your reception your guests will be seated under a canopy of grapevines in our beautifully designed and constructed functions rooms.  We have a high quality sound system allowing DJ's to connect directly into our system ensuring that the volume and music quality is perfect for dancing and still allows your relatives to talk freely at their tables.  We also offer a cordless microphone for your speeches.

Your Ceremony

We give you the option to have your ceremony at our venue as part of the package.  Because our venue offers expansive outdoor areas we have a number of options for you to choose from when deciding where to hold your ceremony including both a fully indoor option as well as a fully covered option with a garden backdrop if the weather is not kind.

We can take care of your music requirements by playing your specifically selected songs for walking through our grounds to our outdoor ceremony area and for signing the register.  We play these songs through our garden sounds system.  We are able to offer that perfect vineyard wedding or garden wedding ceremony.
