Create a lifelong memory: Amuri Estate
Their wedding day makes up one of many couples’ most cherished memories. Recollection of weather, food, and guest list may slowly come to mind, yet the venue is forever remembered as where married life began.
It only makes sense that careful consideration of venue choice should ensue.
Just 10 minutes out of Hanmer Springs Village is the glorious Amuri Estate, with sweeping vistas across historic farm stations. Below, the braided Waiau River meanders its way below the Southern Alps. Stunning by day and bewitching by night, this location is an ultimate in celebrating nuptials.
The property is ideal for every form of wedding from a large gathering of up to 200 guests to something more intimate. Adorned by an enchanting archway, the ceremony lawn looks across the valley to the mountains. Lawn seating or grandstand-style seating rising the bank are options.
The paved canapé and drinks terrace is large enough for dining, and inside options include the large reception hall and the smaller drawing room.
Vanessa Orr, the owner and wedding coordinator at Amuri ensures every couple experiences their dream wedding. She can be as involved in your wedding planning as you wish – the coordinator on the day only or throughout the whole process. “I love seeing a couple’s day come together,” says Vanessa. Having a wedding destination with breathtaking views and all the expertise needed for hosting large numbers makes the planning process so much more enjoyable.
Delectable food is essential in crafting a beautiful wedding. At Amuri Estate, the team works with a selection of experienced caterers, offering great choices to suit any budget, including cocktail platters, buffet, or sit-down meals. A modern and spacious barn-like building, comprising polished concrete floors and many metres of glass doors showcasing incredible views becomes the space for mingling and dancing.
The lodge at Amuri Estate makes for easy and luxurious overnight accommodation. Each guest room has an ensuite with heated towel rail, bathrobe and quality toiletries.
