Your Dream New Zealand Wedding Venue

Your Day. Your Story. Brought to Life.

At The Oreti Collection by Vacations in Paradise, with the iconic Oreti Restaurant at its heart, weddings aren’t just events — they’re love stories we bring to life. For many, the dream has been imagined since childhood, and we are honoured to make that vision a breathtaking reality.

Framed by five acres of native bush, sweeping lake and mountain vistas, and the timeless beauty of Pukawa Bay, Oreti offers a stage as unforgettable as your love. From lakefront “I do’s” to chic receptions in our stylish restaurant spaces — or even barefoot vows with sand between your toes — every moment is designed to feel uniquely yours.

Why couples choose Oreti:

  • A versatile venue with nature’s best backdrop.

  • On-site accommodation so your celebration lasts all weekend.

  • Full-service planning from vows to last dance.

  • A passionate, detail-driven team ensuring a seamless, joy-filled day.

Your wedding isn’t just one day — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Let us handle the details, so you can focus on love, laughter, and memories that last forever.

What past couples are saying about Vacations in Paradise

Dear Fleur This is overdue but the tempo since 4th February, Jenny and Bevan’s wedding has continued to accelerate! I want to thank you and your staff yet again for being able to host a very special family milestone for us. Many events conspired to bring it all together (weather, setting, the bride…) but much of the oiled machinery of The Day was due to your expertise, planning and seamless service. It all combined to make unforgettable history for us and we now have the wonderful photos to enable us to relive the experience. Sincere thanks to you and your great team, especially Marcellus (sp?) who I really hope is still with you. He has much to commend him to the hospitality industry, not least of all a most engaging and accommodating manner to absorb all our queries even when he’d obviously had very little sleep!

To Fleur and all the hard working staff at Oreti. We just wanted to say thank you to you all for the superb effort you all put into organising Sherry and Bennetts wedding on the 2nd Feb. You took away all the stress that can be associated with wedding plans and you thought of all the little things that we would have totally overlooked. The venue was fabulous, as was the food and service. We shall sing your praises to one and all. Every one spoke highly of the accommodation and in such a beautiful setting. Thank you again,
Margret and Barry
We just thought we would give you a quick email to say thanks again for everything during and in the lead up to our wedding. We were really happy with how the day went. Both you and all your staff were so dedicated to making it perfect for us. The food, accommodation and venue were all fantastic and we couldn’t have hoped for a better day.
