Bracu Estate

Charlotte & Thomas | Weddings 2024

Overall the whole day was a great success and the team were absolutely incredible in helping us along the way. In particular we wanted to highlight how amazing the service was, led by both Holly and Kyle, we felt that not only were the couple and their guests looked after but they made sure to help and assist all vendor teams which was so appreciated. Holly was amazing in catering to the last minute changes in ceremony location and seeing Kyle's leadership during dinner and offering guests a silver service style just elevated the whole experience for everyone.

I can't say enough about how impressed everyone was with the evening. The venue was absolutely top-notch, providing the perfect ambience for our gathering. The food was beyond incredible; it received rave reviews from everyone in attendance. And the service? Truly unparalleled; every detail was attended to with care, making the experience memorable for all. Moreover, I want to express my gratitude for how easy Sarah and Prue have been to deal with. Your professionalism and cooperation made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It's rare to find individuals who are not only excellent at what they do but also such a pleasure to work with. Overall, it was an evening to remember, and I'm sincerely grateful to you Sarah and Prue for opening your doors to us and for making it such a success. Please know that your efforts did not go unnoticed and were greatly appreciated by all. Looking forward to the opportunity to work together again in the future.

Elise & Jonny | Wedding 2023

After visiting a few venues it was upon our arrival at Bracu that everything just felt right, our first visit seeing the landscape, olive trees and the sense of tranquillity provided the perfect setting for an intimate wedding. We always wanted to feel amongst nature and away from it all so that we could truly enjoy ourselves on our big day. Onsite accommodation, delicious food and the helpful staff made the decision that much easier. A truly beautiful place, Bracu was perfect and made our dream day a reality.

Ross & Carla | Wedding 2023

Our day couldn’t have been more perfect in every aspect. Lisa was outstanding making sure the day ran perfectly.

Harsita & Nikhil | Wedding 2023

We got married the day after there were severe floods in January 2023. Even though most of Auckland was affected by the floods, we still managed to have our wedding as planned at Bracu. We held our Indian ceremony in the marquee with white draping which looks very elegant and provided great cover for our ceremony. We loved how we could open up the marquee to allow air to flow through and to show a bit of nature from the surrounding trees. After our wedding ceremony we held our reception in the Pavilion, which is a private function center located next to the Marquee. We enjoyed the outdoor-indoor flow of the Pavilion, where our guests were able to sit and mingle with other guests outside in the fresh air. This helped our guests interact with each other and provided a more relaxed environment for our guests to socialize. Our favourite thing about Bracu was the number of photo opportunities. We wanted our photos to be surrounded by nature and the sea of olive trees provided the perfect setting for our photos. The best spot was the sunset location which overlooks a nearby mountain. Bracu’s staff kindly drove us to this photo location when the sun was setting which looked absolutely amazing in the photos.

Michaela & Jacob | Wedding 2023

The vision for our wedding day was classic, elegant but modern, we wanted a big party with all of our family and friends and that’s exactly what Bracu delivered for us. As soon as we stepped foot into the venue we knew it was the one for us. It has everything you need, a beautiful marquee, a big open pavilion for dancing and eating, beautiful backdrops for all the photos and onsite accommodation for all of your bridal party, family and friends. Every single one of our guests commented on the food from our wedding saying it was the best they ever had which was definitely very important to us as well. The Bracu Staff were so accommodating and easy to work with and go above and beyond for you. It’s a day we will never forget! Thanks again for everything!

Paul & Janine | Wedding 2023

Paul and I were looking for a wedding venue that was simple, intimate but elegant with everything all at the one location. Bracu provided this and so much more. The accommodation, photos, wedding venue, and reception were fantastic, the food being sublime, a talking point 5 out of 5 stars. The staff where friendly, making the wedding come together with ease and the beauty of the location being world class. I would highly recommend this as a wedding venue if you wished to create a memorable day that will last a lifetime.

Kelsey & Gerard | Wedding 2022

The vision for our wedding was a big party with our closest friends but classy. We had been to Bracu for dinner and fell in love with the food, so it was an easy decision. They hadn't done an outdoor ceremony with 100 people before, but they let me pick a spot on the estate, levelled an aisle and went to great effort to make it a beautiful location. The olive trees formed a natural archway, and the hillside dropped away to create dramatic photos. It was truly stunning!

Shalene + Mark | Wedding 2022

Our wedding at Bracu was nothing short of enchanting. It served as the perfect backdrop for our dream photos, creating timeless memories that we will cherish forever. The serene beauty of the estate, with its magnificent olive groves, made our day feel like a fairy tale. Our guests had an unforgettable evening, and they couldn't stop raving about the beautiful food that was served. Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime.

Nikki & Andrew | Wedding 2022

Our wedding at Bracu was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we first visited the venue, we were captivated by its beauty and charm. The picturesque gardens provided the perfect background for our wedding reception. The attention to detail of the Bracu team was fantastic. Many of our guests commented on how fantastic the food was and the onsite accommodation was the cherry on the cake. Bracu helped us throw the most epic wedding reception and we can’t thank them enough for being part of our special day.
