Ceremonies at The Boat House at the Riverhead

About the Venue

The Boat House at The Riverhead is a purpose-built wedding venue attached to New Zealand’s oldest riverside tavern. Set on the banks of the upper Waitematā Harbour, the venue offers a relaxed, nautical atmosphere with historic character. The standout feature is the large deck overlooking the water, which provides a stunning backdrop as the tide rolls in. Guests can even arrive by ferry or private boat from Auckland CBD, making the journey to the wedding part of the entertainment. It is the perfect choice for a quintessentially "Kiwi" celebration that is high on history, great food, and a relaxed riverside vibe.

"Get your guests to arrive by ferry from the CBD, it’s an unforgettable way to start a wedding day."
