Testimonials
Here are what a few of our recent couples who have had their weddings
at Mills Reef said about their experience with us;
“I can’t thank you both enough for such an AMAZING
wedding day that we had at Mills Reef, there are no words
to express how the day went and how special the staff
made us and our guests feel on the day.
From arriving to the venue, ceremony, reception and food,
it was such a pricelss day that our family, friends and
ourselves could never forget.
Family just can’t seem to stop talking about the venue,
food and such great staff, even almost 1 month after the
wedding, still talking about the wedding.
Thank you so much for everything that you both have done
and with special thanks to your restaurant manager, the
chef and staff for their great efforts to make our day go so
smooth. I highly recommend Mills Reef to everyone”

Saying ‘I do’
Mills Reef is literally a picture perfect setting
our beautifully landscaped, 20 acre grounds feature expansive grassed areas, liberal
plantings of ornamental trees, hedges and ceremony lawns which are ideal for a
wedding of any size and style.
Or for an intimate indoor wedding our underground Aged Wine Cellar with domed
ceilings forms a stunning private chapel.
Estate terrace
Vintage lawn
Our beautifully manicured raised lawn directly in
front of our restaurant and outdoor dining area is the
traditional favourite for our couples, with its delightful
backdrop in summer of agapanthus and surrounding
courtyard and pergolas.
Walk through our manicured hedges and down a
solid concrete long aisle on our Vintage Lawn for your
perfect ‘outside chapel’. This area is semi-secluded
and with your guests seated to either side you will
feel like someone has let the sun shine into your
traditional chapel wedding.
Have your ceremony on either the paved apex or the

The centre circle of the Vintage Lawn with its wrought
iron pillars create a perfect location and focal point for
your ceremony with views of the Kaimai’s and ample
room for your guests to mingle.
