Are you after a formal wedding?
Then sorry, we're not the venue for you. However, if you're after a wedding that's simple, elegant yet unpretentious, and at the same time reasonably and honestly priced, then Wild Estate is the perfect place for the modern wedding. We know not everyone wants formal. And we know we can deliver your WOW factor, whilst keeping it simple in a stunning island venue.
We make everything entirely stress free from the early stages of planning to the big “I do’s”, then right through to the dance floor action. Priding ourselves on our forward thinking, flexibility and professionalism, our priority is to deliver what is your personal ideal, which is why it is so important our venue truly feels like YOUR venue.
Casual Shared Platters
In place of traditional plated meals we do shared boards served at long tables, allowing your guests to relax and socialise away from formality. Then head to the bar for a band or DJ and an original first dance! We have a bar service including our boutique wine grown onsite, to cocktails, beers and whisky, we can do it all. It is our versatility, unique location and unquestionable ability that sets us apart.

We're popular, so complete our function enquiry in book now section below and we'll be in touch within 1 working day. Alternately phone our bookings office on (09) 372 4225. Please note our office hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 2pm.
We all wanna have fun, but sometimes we go a little too Wild! Therefore to keep you all safe, Wild Estate supplies alcoholic beverages under restrictions according to our Liquor Licences below. If you look under 25, be prepared to show ID. For NZ online sales we require a copy of your New Zealand Passport or Drivers Licence to complete the sale, along with Signature ID and Proof of age on delivery.
I'm afraid we don't have a BYO licence, however as we're both a winery AND a brewery we have you covered! We have our very own beer & wine at reasonable prices. We also make fantastic island cocktails, and mocktails and our World Famous (on Waiheke) Waiheke Brewery Ginger Beer for the non drinkers too, along with an extensive alcohol free range to look after your team.
Wild Estate & Wild on Waiheke holds both an On-Premise and Off-Premise Liquor license and we operate a bar and restaurant facility, therefore we do not allow or have a license for BYO. Our On-license operates from 9am to midnight, 7 days per week (subject to current hours of operation - these hours can be extended within our license restrictions for large prebooked groups of 40+).
All bookings are subject to agreeing to our Booking Terms & Conditions. Please ensure you read them carefully prior to booking.

No worries, we can cater to most food allergies as long as we know in advance. Our team will guide you through the booking process so it's seamless!
Our function menu's cater to small groups of 14 up to larger groups of people.
All Function Menus are for prebooked groups only at a special Wholesale Rate (along with our Large Group Activities). Discounts apply for larger groups, and we can easily turn your two course lunch into a three or even four course meal as an optional extra. Prepayment is required, and as you can imagine with us being on an island it requires a little extra planning on our behalf so we can make it a memorable event. Once that part's done you get to sit right back and enjoy the party!
Don't worry, it doesn't happen often and we have options available if it's rained out on you (see our Booking T&C's)
