The food and drinks were delicious, and the portions were very generous. Everyone was very full at the end and really enjoyed the food we selected.
There were many options to choose from to suit couples’ budgets. Upgrades available too. The food was delicious. Good variety. Great quality food & drink!
Save With A Bronze Menu
By choosing the Bronze buffet menu you can have a classic 8-hour wedding, saving big on the per-person cost of food while enjoying dishes of familiar favourites.
As with our Silver menu, there’s no drinks package. If you want to pay for some or all of your guests’ drinks you can add a bar tab. Beyond that, a cash bar is available.
A number of couples elect to have the Bronze or Silver menu, with a bar tab for non-alcoholic drinks, for religious/cultural reasons or because few of their guests drink alcohol.
Weekday Weddings
If you have your heart set on a full 8-hour wedding with ceremony and reception, this could be the answer you’ve been looking for.
By having your wedding on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, the minimum spend drops to $5.250 (2024/25) or $5,500 (2025/26). This weekday rate is available all year round, including summer peak season.
By selecting the silver reception package your weekday minimum spend can accommodate 20 guests in summer, 25 in winter. Extra guests cost from $169-$199 per person.
Ask our team to create you a personalised proposal with all the figures included.
5-hour Compact Weddings
Enjoy a stylish wedding – the same as the full 8-hour version – except a little shorter and more affordable. A Compact includes seated dining and plenty of time for speeches in a 5-hour package with your ceremony and reception or just your reception. You choose how you’d like to use the time.
There’s no skimping on the food and drink, you can choose from our Silver, Gold or luxury Platinum menus and enjoy the full experience. It’s been known for real foodies to decide on a compact with a Platinum menu so they can have the best of wedding food within budget.
With a low minimum spend and half-price venue fee, Compact Weddings are perfect if you want to limit the overall cost with full dining included. Limited to up to 60 guests. See full pricing below.
We had seen a few other venues but when we saw Tui we knew this was the venue for us. The garden was breathtaking and everything we wanted.
I highly recommend Tui hills and the team. They exceeded our expectation of not only service for our guests but also my husband and me.
