Katie Jane and Stewart

From the English winter to a beautiful Bay of Plenty summer at Villa Vie Country Estate

Katie-Jane and Stewart wanted their wedding to be all about family gathering. They fell in love with Villa Vie Wedding Venue the most stunning of locations in Aongatete, Bay of Plenty located just out of Katikati, about a 30 minute drive from Tauranga.

The perfect location for KJ and Stew as they were able to treat their family to the stunning accommodation in this beautiful french country house and enjoy the expansive gardens and grounds. This is a wedding venue with all options. Beautiful gardens, a stunning French villa and stunning marquee’s permanently set up in beautiful french country style. Katie Jane particularly loved the pretty and natural happy feel of Villa Vie.

Stewart’s family all came over from Winter in the UK to enjoy our beautiful Summer (which happened to be the hottest day of our Summer thus far). But this day was to be all about family and their two cheeky boys which was delightful to witness the playful banter that was thrown around. I knew I’d love this day and I truly did. Thanks for having me on board. – Rochelle
