Valentine’s Day Weddings
affordable wedding package
A rustic, family‑friendly wedding venue with true rural charm
Celebrate your love this Valentine’s Day in the beautiful country setting of Hiwi Farm Venues.
The Shearer’s Wool Shed, paddock and gardens create a relaxed and romantic setting for a truly memorable wedding. Surrounded by wide rural views and beautiful countryside, the venue has an authentic rustic charm that feels warm, personal and completely different from a modern wedding venue.
Located just 20 km from Rotorua on a working farm, Hiwi Farm Venues offers couples a peaceful country escape for their special day. Native bush at the back of the property provides a beautiful backdrop for romantic wedding photos, while the gardens and paddocks offer plenty of space to celebrate with the people you love.
For couples dreaming of something meaningful and a little different, our Valentine’s Day Wedding Package offers the perfect opportunity to make 14 February 2027 a date you will remember forever.
This style of wedding invites family and friends to be part of the celebration, helping with decorations and bringing food, which keeps costs down, makes this an affordable wedding package, and creates a relaxed, shared experience.
