Villa Vie is the most wonderful wedding venue. The grounds are incredible and the villa and marquees are so well set up! We were very lucky to have a beautiful day and were able to have the ceremony in the garden surrounded by the beautifully kept garden. We then moved to the Villa where we had canapes. The reception was held in the other end of the property in two marquees, one for dining and one for dancing. The venue does catering and the food was delicious!!! It really exceeded expectations! Laura and her team provided amazing service. Overall, it is a wonderful venue and we were so pleased to have our wedding there!!! Thank you Laura and team x

The most incredible venue the attention to detail with how Laura presented the property for our wedding was amazing! Her calm demeanour made the day go without any stressors. Could not recommend this venue enough! Thank you for making our day the most perfect day ❤️

My husband booked this place as a surprise Wedding Anniversary get away.We stayed at one of two cottages on the Villa Vie grounds. We arrived late in the day and were greeted with the Lounge area heated and my beautiful flowers and photos on display (a surprise pre organised with the owners), open plan kitchen, bath and toilet clean. The bedroom was heated nicely and cosy. A great place to hide from the rest of the world - No Wifi (we downloaded a couple of movies). Close to KatiKati or Tauranga if you wanted to zip away for dinner or buy groceries. We were allowed to walk about the grounds and since it’s a Wedding Venue you could imagine the beautiful gardens when the flowers are open in full bloom. The big house looks lovely and elegant…. I would love to get married there…. I would definitely recommend staying at the kingfisher cottage if you want a break from the world and to have some intentional time with your significant other.
