Bailey and Casey

Hidden among the kiwifruit vines, Ebony Vines set the scene for a beautiful Maketū wedding

What an incredibly happy day for Bailey and Casey. They chose Ebony Vines Wedding Venue in Maketū, just out of Te Puke, for their wedding. An old packhouse but with vintage country vibes. Super relaxed with an elegant rustic feel. It’s nestled in the Kiwifruit vines just up the road from the iconic Maketū Beach. There’s some lovely onsite accommodation superbly located just above the reception area.

They decided to calm the nerves by having a first look where all the gang got to hang out before getting the wedding underway. Happy and relaxed guests, where we were all treated to some island hospitality and dancing, which is where I left them grooving the evening away. Fabulous day with a super fun wedding party. – Thanks Rochelle
