Abel Estate Wedding

Thari and Tayla were married at Abel Estate in Kumeū, surrounded family and friends, young and old, by the estate’s tranquil gardens, vineyards, and peaceful lake views.

Tayla wore a stunning korowai over her wedding gown—a symbol of strength, honour, and connection to her whakapapa. Her presence was both graceful and powerful, carrying the spirit of her ancestors as she walked toward Thari, who waited with pride and love in his heart.

From the emotional ceremony beneath rotunda, to the joyful reception in the light-filled space of the estate, every part of the day reflected their shared journey.
