Pop-up weddings at Tui Hills
A Place Worth Gathering
Celebrations in the Nikau Pavilion and historic Nectar Room
Tui Hills is designed for gatherings that benefit from atmosphere as much as organisation. From milestone birthdays and private celebrations to corporate functions, fundraisers and club events, the venue offers exclusive use in a setting where architecture and nature sit side by side.
Located on Scenic Drive in the Waitākere Ranges, Tui Hills feels removed from the city without being difficult to reach. The award-winning Nikau Pavilion and the character-filled Nectar Room allow events to flow between spaces, creating a celebration that feels considered rather than improvised.

We hadn’t physically been to Tui Hills until the day of the event, but it looked just like the photos and video! We also very much appreciated Stephanie’s organization, leadership, and coordination. It made the day super easy for us.
