Omarino Estate Weddings & Events

20/10/2026

Over the past few months, we have continued to upgrade and enhance our spaces, creating inviting areas that combine comfort, character and practicality.

Inside, our main venue space, the bar area now features a beautiful reclaimed French Country elm buffet and hutch, adding a polished yet welcoming touch while blending modern comfort with rustic charm.

We have also refreshed the frontage of our courtyard garden bar beneath the outdoor pergola, introducing warm, natural timber with striking grain and rustic character. The new materials complement the surrounding leafy setting, while the wider benchtop and substantial timber rim provide generous space for serving and for guests to rest their beverages, making the bar both a practical feature and a welcoming focal point.

Our smaller lawn area beside the pergola has also been enhanced with two bench seats and six w**e barrels, creating a relaxed space for guests to sit and enjoy the surrounds.

Meanwhile, the pétanque area now includes a dedicated bench seat, making it much more comfortable to settle in and watch the competition unfold.

Whether you are planning a formal occasion or a relaxed celebration, we can help you tailor our spaces to suit your requirements, creating a welcoming setting that feels just right for your wedding or event.

Under a canopy of brilliant blue sky, with Omarino’s graceful white arch and soft white florals framing the scene, Fifita and Eliesa exchanged their vows before 150 cherished family members and friends on a beautiful Thursday in late October 2025.

Following the ceremony, Kiana Emi Photography captured a joyful collection of family portraits throughout the gardens, preserving the warmth, laughter and love of the occasion. Once the immediate photographs were complete, guests drifted into the outdoor garden and pergola spaces, where refreshing non-alcoholic beverages and delicious finger foods were served amid the peaceful surroundings.

After a little over an hour, the MC invited everyone into the reception space for an early celebratory meal. The venue's neutral palette, enhanced by white roses and delicate garlands, created an effortlessly elegant foundation. Fifita and Eliesa added their own thoughtful touches: white roses and gypsophila arranged in glass jars, softly glowing artificial candles, olive-green fabric serviettes and printed menus. The result was simple, refined and quietly breathtaking.

An early buffet allowed the evening to unfold at an unhurried pace, leaving ample time for speeches, performances and dancing. Kingdom Kai caterers presented a sumptuous feast, with mains of sweet and sour pork, lamb luau, creamy prawn fettuccine, and grilled beef ribeye with a velvety mushroom sauce.

Accompanying dishes included chicken salad, taro with coconut cream, and roasted kümara, potatoes and pumpkin.

Dessert was every bit as indulgent, featuring pineapple pie, mango 'otai, banoffee pie and Nutella cheesecake. Afterwards, the couple cut their striking three-tiered wedding cake, beautifully crafted by Meraki Cake Design

A celebratory toast and special performances followed, before heartfelt speeches filled the room with laughter, memories and emotion.

Guests then gathered beneath the covered outdoor pergola to witness the couple's first dance and a tender father-daughter dance.

Everyone later returned to the main venue, where the formal programme closed with a prayer. Then the music lifted, the celebrations gathered pace, and the dance floor came alive as family and friends danced together into the evening.

Congratulations, Fifita and Eliesa. It was both an honour and a privilege to host your beautiful celebration. May the years ahead be filled with enduring love, abundant joy and countless treasured memories as you begin this wonderful new chapter together.

Last winter, we were delighted to host a wonderful variety of celebrations at our venue. These included a 50th birthday, a ceremony and cocktail-style micro wedding for 35 guests, three weddings for 55 to 60 guests and a corporate ball for 130 guests.

Sam and Dion celebrated in mid-June with 35 of their closest family and friends on an early, cool winter afternoon. Due to the weather conditions, the window side of the venue was beautifully set for an intimate ceremony. This was followed by celebratory beverages and platters, a few heartfelt speeches and the cutting of the cake.

A number of special moments were captured by Yay Grace Photography. Many thanks for sharing these beautiful memories with us. We are also grateful for your kind words.

“We had the most incredible experience celebrating our wedding here! From the ceremony (weather leading up to the day was terrible so we had an inside ceremony) to the cocktail-style reception. Everything was seamless and beautifully executed. Jane went above and beyond to make sure every detail reflected our vision. The setup was stunning, the atmosphere relaxed and elegant and the service was exceptional throughout the day.

Our guests raved about the ambience and how everything flowed.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a venue that truly cares!”

We are truly thankful to have been part of your special day and to have our venue hold a small piece of your love story. Wishing you both a future filled with happiness, laughter and many more unforgettable celebrations.

Just over a year ago, in the soft heart of mid-April, Lavender and Tim gathered at Omarino Estate to celebrate the beginning of their forever. Beneath the beloved “plum tree” in the gentle light of the early afternoon and in the presence of our Lord, they pledged their love and devotion to one another.

Rogue Florals - Flower Truck provided the stunning bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids, along with the florals adorning the ceremony backdrop: a cross.

Watching on with unconditional love and quiet loyalty was Zalia, their cherished furry family member, who was there to share in the joy of the day.

After the nuptials, the couple and their guests wandered through the garden areas for group photographs, beautifully captured by . While Lavender and Tim and their bridal party spent time exploring the estate’s garden spaces, family and friends made their way to the pergola and outdoor garden bar for a joyful “Paint n Sip”.

There guests enjoyed light refreshments and took part in a heartfelt surprise organised by the groom’s sister and father: each person painted a square that would later be joined together to create a special artwork for the couple.

A stunning grazing table lovingly prepared by family, along with lawn games and pétanque, kept everyone happily entertained throughout the afternoon.

The reception tables were dressed with long, flowing rust runners, layered with multiple wood rounds, glass bottles and a beautiful mix of dried and fresh country blooms in shades of peach, pink, cream and red. Rust-coloured knotted napkins and individual mini wood-round place names completed the warm, rustic look.

Country Feasts Catering then served a sumptuous, hearty feast, followed by heartfelt speeches, the cutting of the cake and cupcakes and a few light-hearted wedding games. As evening settled in, the first dance opened the way for plenty of dancing, laughter, and mingling, carrying the celebration beautifully through to its close.

As the day softened into late afternoon, golden sunlight danced through the trees, creating the most magical setting for the couple to say “I Do”.
