Our venue is the perfect space for you to set-up and style according to your wedding day vision, whether through DIY or with the help of a Wedding Stylist or Florist.
We are lucky enough to have some amazing local vendors in this space, and will happily connect you with these businesses who can help to bring your plans to life within your budget.

As an operating farm it is important to us that we keep our farm roads in good condition, and we also want to make sure everyone gets home safely at the end of the night. Therefore we ask that you book bus transport for your guests to arrive and depart in via Clarks Coaches. We are able to provide recommendations on bus numbers and timings.
Please note, the wedding party and vendors are able to drive onto the property and the venue has a dedicated carpark close to the marquee for these vehicles.
Other guests may drive under special circumstances, please contact us if you would like more information on this.

“In New Zealand, we are spoilt for choice with wedding venues. But Baylys' Farm is a stand out venue.
The VIEWS are phenomenal. From the moment we first toured the property, the team was so on it and so incredibly helpful. On the day, everything was just fantastic. The team was absolutely amazing. We both felt like we didn’t have to worry about anything, which is a great feeling on your wedding day!
Baylys’ Farm is truly a magical venue, and the team are the icing on the cake. We will be talking about Baylys’ Farm for the rest of our lives. 10000000/10 would recommend! It is the most beautiful venue in NZ and with the most awesome team“

“The highlight of our wedding had to be having Baylys’ farm as our venue (besides marrying each other!)
Melita and Will were amazing from the start! They are so down to earth and made us feel like nothing is too much to ask. We viewed the venue about 2 years out and had only seen one other place (but had many on the list) and as soon as we saw the ceremony point we were sold!
To share our love story with our nearest and dearest in such a picturesque spot was so special. There are so many great spots for photos and we loved that we didn’t have to leave the venue for photos as this meant more time to spend with our guests and enjoying our wedding! Thank you Melita, Will and the Baylys’ Farm team for an epic day! We will forever be grateful”

Mel and Will have created the most special wedding venue at Baylys' Farm. Our day was simply perfect, we loved every part of it.
Thank you for your life saving spreadsheet that helped us organise everything in advance and left our friends and bridal party saying how relaxed and stress free our wedding day was.
Thank you for your prompt and informative replies to our emails and general support on the day. You two are incredible and have created the most perfect venue and business that we feel so fortunate to have experienced”
