Garden setting.
Country soul.
WEDDING VENUE, ROTORUA
You bring the vision, we give you the setting to bring it to life.
Our countryside venue is built on two simple ideas: a view worth travelling for, and the freedom to make the day your own.
Picture your vows with Lake Rotorua and the hills stretched out behind you, the people you love close by, and the whole place to yourselves.
Tironui is for couples who have a vision. BYO drinks, full creative control over styling, and a venue manager who genuinely loves what she does. We host one wedding per weekend, because your day deserves our full attention.
The ceremony.
Choose your view.
Tironui gives you the choice of several private ceremony spots, each with its own panoramic outlook, plus a sheltered indoor option should the weather turn. Wherever you say "I do", and wherever the light lands, there's a beautiful backdrop waiting.
Our venue manager, Johnelle can also stand up front as your licensed celebrant - available on request.
The reception.
Style it your way.
Perched on a hill, our converted-stables barn pairs rustic country character with sweeping garden-to-lake views, and room for up to 150 guests.
A true blank canvas - bring your styling, your suppliers and your ideas, and make the evening uniquely yours.
The photos.
A backdrop at every turn.
Rustic farm sheds, open meadows, winding tree-lined roads and sweeping lake vistas - Tironui offers a whole day of backdrops in one place.
Your photographer will be spoilt for choice, and you'll never have to leave the property. Whatever your style, the next beautiful shot is just around the corner.

FAQs.
-
We’re a BYO venue, which means you supply the drinks for your guests. Bar service itself must be booked through one of our recommended providers — this keeps things running smoothly and ensures everything’s covered on the day. We’re happy to share the list and help connect you with the right fit for your event.
Please note: our Micro Wedding and Elopement packages don't include BYO alcohol, as celebratory drinks are already provided.
