We had our wedding at Settlers Country Manor and it has been a very great time. The Manor is of strong character, and an amazing place to taking photos. I was impressed when I stepped into this place with a history of 100 years. It is very well maintained but not without modern technologies (i.e. comfortable lighting, air con, video/audio equip).

I would recommend you at lease have a visit if you are looking for a venue for 100 people in Auckland. By the way, the manager was so helpful and worked many nights for us. We appreciated everything that Settlers have done for us and a big thank to them.

Settlers was the perfect venue for us for our wedding. Abigail was so helpful right from the start with great communication. I loved that the bridesmaids and I were able to get ready at the venue in a beautiful room as well. The building itself and the grounds are beautiful and provided the perfect backdrop for our day and photos. There are also lots of options for where to have your ceremony and photos, including covered options for bad weather. Additionally the food was incredible, the guests raved about it. Our day went so smoothly thanks to Abigail and her team and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Me and my Husband celebrated our wedding at Setters last Saturday. It was by far the most perfect day, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue and wonderful team at Settlers. Abigail is amazing she was so kind and caring through the whole experience. From the first meeting until the day she was always prompt in her helpful replies and of making our vision come to life. The ceremony area is stunning, we chose the below garden ceremony area and it was perfect on the summery day with nice shelter from the trees. Cocktail hour was so much fun in the upper lawn and we were looked after with canapés and drinks getting brought to us by the team. Though the schedule went right out the window the team rolled with everything and it turned out to be the most amazing day. All our guests are still raving about the wonderful place and food!
