What Our Guests Say

A few quotes since our re-opening.

5/5
"We only had to take one look at Lauderdale to know it was

where we wanted to get married. It was a truly beautiful spot. Jean-Michel and Karen saw our vision and were so welcoming and professional in the lead up. Even in adverse weather conditions our day was amazing! The staff had everything under control and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. All of our guests were thoroughly impressed and we were so truly grateful that our day ran so smoothly.."

"There is nowhere in NZ that even comes close to offering what Lauderdale has to offer as a venue. It should be on your bucket list to put on an event there, or at the very least attend one."
