Elegance, tradition, nostalgia…the 150-year-old Oruawharo homestead, its surrounding gardens and parkland combine all the essentials of an idyllic, romantic wedding.
Great weddings have been a part of the rich history of Oruawharo since the mid 1800's.
Hold the ceremony in the house itself, in the dignified wood-panelled ball room, on the stairway, or in the gracious surrounds of the drawing room. In spring the daffodil lawn sheltered beneath fine old trees offers a natural setting and in summer the wide veranda and lawn below provide the perfect atmosphere for a garden wedding. Afterwards celebrate with a glass of bubbly on the veranda or lawn and spoil your guests with a taste of some wonderful Hawke's Bay food and wine. The grounds offer ample space for a marquee and outdoor wedding breakfast, or you can entertain your guests inside, where the dining room seats 100 people.
