Lavalla estate | Auckland Wedding Venue
As an Auckland wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of working at many stunning venues, but Lavalla Estate in New Zealand stands out as a truly exceptional location for capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Nestled in the picturesque Tuakau countryside, Lavalla Estate offers a blend of natural beauty, elegant settings, and thoughtful amenities that make it a dream destination for both couples (and wedding photographers!) alike.
From the moment you arrive at Lavalla Estate, it’ll be clear why it’s such a sought-after wedding venue. The estate’s lush gardens and rolling lawns provide a breathtaking backdrop that transforms beautifully in photos. Whether you’re envisioning a classic garden ceremony or a more contemporary celebration, Lavalla’s versatility ensures that your photos will capture the essence of your special day.
When it comes time for photos, you’ll be spoilt for choice as to where to head to for the perfect backdrop. From their centre piece tree, to the gardens, the barn and paddocks, the schoolhouse and the grotto. There’s just so many amazing places to capture that perfect shot. As a bonus, one of the venue staff will even help 4x4 you to locations that are a little further away to make sure your day (and your dress) is as perfect as can be.
A wedding venue is only as good as the team behind it, and Lavalla Estate’s staff are among the best in the business. Their professionalism and friendly demeanor make the day run smoothly and allow photographers to focus on capturing the perfect shots. They are knowledgeable about the venue’s best spots for photos and are always ready to assist with any special requests, making it a pleasure to work at Lavalla. Not to mention, their food is superb! They’ve not once failed to disappoint when it comes time for dinner (or canape!).
Wedding Accommodation
Lavalla Estate also boasts 8 sizable rooms, ranging from doubles to kings, in their Lodge as well as an additional Cottage that can sleep up to 4 people. This means being able to not only have all your morning getting ready activities on site, but super hand if you have family or friends attending from outside of Auckland and needing a place to stay. It’s also a nice way to be able to keep the party going a bit later into the night and, of course, an awesome after party the day after for a bit of BBQ, beer and chill.
Lavalla Estate is a dream come true for any wedding photographer. Its combination of stunning natural beauty, versatile photography locations, and excellent service as well as accommodation make it an ideal choice for capturing your wedding day memories. Whether you’re planning a grand affair or a more intimate celebration, Lavalla Estate offers a magical setting that will be beautifully reflected in your wedding photos.
For couple still seeking a venue, Lavalla Estate should definitely be high on the list!
