WEDDING REVIEWS
Nick & Cecilia, February 2014
“Hats off to the team – Ally, Bevan and Tess for being such great co-ordinators and so lovely to work with. We must also mention how great the food was – many of our guests are still raving about the food and that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The waiting staff were friendly, patient and personable. We cannot thank The Waihi Waterlily Gardens enough for a more than perfect day, and we will definitely be stopping in to say hello when we are next in town!” |

“From the very comfortable cottages where the bride/bridesmaids and groom could get ready and prepare, the beautiful natural setting which really looked fantastic where the ceremony took place, the reception room which all looked wonderful to the fabulous food prepared by your chef, not least you and your staff who worked tirelessly from start to finish to give us all a day that we will always treasure! We can’t thank you all enough for all your hard work!” |

“Our wedding was extraordinary; beyond what we even hoped for, and that’s due in huge part to your gorgeous venue and wonderful hosting. You never made us feel like anything was difficult or a problem, and the day before the wedding when I was having a bit of a stress-out, your calming presence was just what I needed. So many of our guests made lovely comments too – about how beautiful the venue was, how lovely the wait-staff were and how delicious the food was (I’m still having happy memories of the salmon myself). So, thank you again for giving us a perfect wedding day, and our guests a beautiful day too. Please pass my thanks on to Dawn for the flowers. From what were pretty vague instructions, she managed to put together exactly what I didn’t know I wanted! The colours were stunning, and they look fabulous in the photographs. No doubt we’ll see you again – the Gardens will be a compulsory stop whenever we’re down your way.” |

We had the privilege to be guests at the wedding of Sarah and Chris yesterday. Thank you for your fabulous hospitality. I would like to mention several things that I thought were awesome – these may have been your organisat ion or Chris and Sarah’s but I thought I would mention them. The choice of area for the ceremony was awesome – it was shady and breezy at the hottest part of the day. The garden setting is divine – it must take a lot of work to keep a garden of that size looking so beautiful. The ‘marquee’ is fantastic and was beautifully set up. I loved the way the bar was set up outside and the way you had unlimited jugs of iced minted water – delicious thank you! I didn’t try the orange punch but that was a great idea. Your staff were amazing – courteous, attentive, friendly and knew what they were doing. The food was amazing.” |
