The Venue

European elegance meets lush New Zealand native bush at Cassels. Perched in the Waitakere Ranges, less than 30 minutes drive from Auckland CBD, Cassels provides a glorious and intimate setting for your special day.

Cassels is a purpose-built wedding and events venue, with many happy couples declaring their vows in its romantic gardens surrounded by mature native plants.

Combining classic European charm with fantastic facilities and delicate touches, Cassels is a true hidden gem. It is set on an acre of private grounds, and can host your entire wedding – from the ceremony to photographs and reception.

An ivy-covered entrance way leads you to the indoor function space. Exquisite French furniture, chandeliers, rendered walls, a large open fireplace and lavish bathrooms, this room will enchant you with its elegance.

A beautiful Italian gazebo in Cassels’ serene lower garden with native bush as the backdrop makes for a surreal ceremony spot. Music is provided through outdoor speakers.

Since perfect weather conditions can never be guaranteed, Cassels also boasts a beautiful, covered and shaded courtyard as alternate for your ceremony. It is also an ideal additional space for your guests to adjourn to after dinner.

From the aisle leading to the ceremony area, the French fountain, the lily pond and the ivy-covered gate…Cassels is teeming with wonderful photo opportunities. As part of your package you can utilise the entire venue to create your memories. To add to this we are only a 15-minute drive from the beautiful Bethells Beach. We provide a bridal picnic hamper to take with you to the photo shoot.

Cassels is suitable for any style of wedding. We know that the options of delivering your special day are endless. Leigh, Scott and our experienced team work closely with you to ensure that all your dreams come true.

Cassels is a fully-licensed, full-service venue that can cater to 120 persons (maximum). There is ample parking for the convenience of your guests and the bridal party.
