Sept 2019Amazing and beautiful place! The weather was perfect for our afternoon wedding and the sun trickling through the laneway was majestic. Open gardens and flowers blooming, we were so blessed to have such an amazing day. The reception was held in the function building, a modern and aesthetically pleasing venue with clean amenities and comfortably seated 90 guests including the bridal party. The plant wall with the archway was a hit with the guests and I'm sure future users will be able to enjoy fantastic photos with the wall as the backdrop. Most impressive was the host. Teresa and Tim were relaxed, inviting and accomodating to our requests. Not a single hiccup. Excellent communication and a real pleasure to work with. They are genuine, nice and honest people; they really want to ensure that you can enjoy the venue to it's fullest. I encourage everyone to seriously consider Anam Cara for their special day

July 2021We had our wedding at Anam Cara at the start of April and we can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience. Having had our original plans for a big wedding in Ireland cancelled we had a small group at Anam Cara instead. We all stayed for three days and everything was fabulous from start to finish. Teresa was so helpful and easy to deal with during the planning and Tim was there throughout our few days, nothing was too much trouble and he made all of us (including our two little nephews) feel totally at home and relaxed. The accommodation is fabulous and has everything you could possibly want. Everything that is provided is quality, from the toiletries to tea/coffee etc. and the little extra touches were much appreciated.

Sept 2020We recently held our wedding and reception at Anam Cara Gardens and had the best experience. The venue is beautiful with so many options for ceremony location, photos etc. Tim and Teresa were so fantastic to deal with, especially with all the drama around Covid - we had to postpone earlier in the year and they were super accommodating and supportive during that time. Teresa was very responsive to emails, answering all our questions and Tim was just a gem on the day and leading up to it - nothing was too much trouble. We got so many comments from our guests about how great the venue was. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to get married in the Kapiti area, in my opinion ACG is head and shoulders above every other venue in the area.
