Discover Tranquil Elegance at The Narrows Landing

Planning your wedding should feel as special as the day itself. At The Narrows Landing, you’ll find a unique blend of modern style and natural beauty, all set in the peaceful Tamahere countryside—just minutes from Hamilton. This family-owned boutique venue has a rich history, once serving as a resting place for 1800s riverboat travellers. Built in 1996 with recycled materials and local timber, The Narrows Landing is designed to blend seamlessly with its stunning surroundings, offering a truly memorable backdrop for your celebration.

Flexible Ceremony and Reception Spaces

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, The Narrows Landing is ready to welcome you and your guests. The venue comfortably hosts up to 200 people, with the Pirongia deck room accommodating up to 250 for bigger events. Choose from two beautiful outdoor lawns for your ceremony, or opt for the elegant indoor Conservatory if you prefer (or need) an indoor setting. The transition from ceremony to reception is smooth and stress-free, thanks to a spacious reception room and thoughtful venue design. Rustic charm and unique architectural features—like the striking steel frame—add character and warmth to your day.

Stunning Photo Opportunities and On-Site Accommodation

Your wedding photos will be nothing short of spectacular at The Narrows Landing. Explore lush maize fields, rustic sheds, and tree-lined hills for outdoor shots, or take advantage of the beautifully landscaped gardens. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, there are plenty of indoor options, including the stylish accommodation spaces, which double as great photo locations. Having your wedding party stay on-site is not only convenient, but it also means you can relax and enjoy every moment together.

Where History, Nature, and Style Meet

The Narrows Landing is more than just a venue—it’s a destination that brings together moody, on-trend interiors with the tranquility of the outdoors. The property’s story is woven into every detail, from pear trees grown from seeds planted by Governor George Grey to the walking trails and access to the Waikato River.
