The landscape at Baylys’ Farm allows us to cater for large or intimate events, and lends itself to compliment any style preference. Our dedicated beachfront marquee location has been crafted especially for weddings, and is privately set between New Zealand farm and coastland. Alternatively, our wool shed creates a great atmosphere for a rustic reception. As a BYO venue you can choose your own food, drink and vendors, allowing you to tailor the day exactly to your liking.
Weddings at Baylys’ Farm can be held across three main locations:
The Point: A naturally sloping hill-top site with uninterrupted views out to the Bay of Islands, The Point is an unforgettable backdrop for your ceremony. Located at The Beach.
The Beach: Situated right next to a private beach is our dedicated wedding venue location, inclusive of a 10 x 24m clear-span marquee. The space is yours to use and set-up as you wish. Ceremonies can also be held in this location.
The Wool Shed: Our Wool Shed is the perfect space for a rustic barn-style reception. The building seats up to 120 people, and has toilets, a small kitchen and power. The outdoor areas adjacent to the building are also perfect for cocktail hour or an outdoor dance floor.

"We held our wedding at Baylys' Farm on the 11/01/2019. From our initial meeting with Melita and Will, throughout the planning stages, leading up to the wedding, wedding day and after the wedding, they have been the most amazing hosts to deal with. The venue is magical and as one guest said 'there's not many places in the world with a view as good as this'. Our day was magical, and this lends itself to the venue and the hosts. We could not have wished for a more amazing location"

"Baylys' Farm was the best wedding venue we could have hoped for. We had the most fantastic day and now the most beautiful photos. I couldn't recommend this place more. The venue owners and are lovely and easy to deal with. Very close to the Copthorne for a convenient accommodation option as well. All round 10/10."

"We got married at Baylys' Farm in February 2019. From the moment I saw the farm I knew it was the perfect place for us. The pictures just don't do it justice. It's absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Even though it rained on our wedding day, the venue still looked amazing. From the two private beaches, to the cliff top ceremony spot, to the huge marquee overlooking the ocean. This venue honestly has it all. The hosts have done an amazing job with the marquee. It's a perfect space to create whatever theme you want for your wedding. The hosts have a huge inventory to choose from and were extremely friendly and helpful through all aspects of our wedding. A venue not to be missed."

"We felt so privileged to share our vows on Baylys' Farm, as the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. It's an exclusive location that is world-class and one of a kind. A year later, we still receive comments from our guests saying it was the most incredible location they have attended for a wedding."
