Reviews of Allely Estate
A. B.Nice place to hold the special events like weddings, Lanark Birthdays and Anniversaries. Also great for corporate events. Has indoor outdoor facilities along with a nice Bar.
M.Allely Estate is everything we wanted and more as a wedding venue. Athina is an incredible wedding co-ordinator and planner. She has an incredible eye for detail. Athina was full of ideas, advice and answered every single question we could think of. Our day went flawlessly thanks to Athina and the team at Allely. Guests complimented us on both the food and service of the team as well as the gorgeous gardens at the venue. We cannot thank or recommend Athina and the team at Allely anymore!
S. B.Our wedding at Allely Estate was absolutely wonderful! Amazing food, breath taking gardens and the one and only Athina! Nothing was impossible! We were so happy that we were able to have our fur baby Luke be part of our big day, which was no problem for the team at Allely Estate. We also wanted to do something a little different for a wedding cake and decided to get cheese wheels, which Allely Estate beautifully put together and decorated with fruit, nuts and honeycomb!
While we were not able to have some friends and family there from overseas due to the global pandemic, we know they were there in spirit and they admired all the gorgeous photos captured at the venue and its surroundings. Allely Estate was the perfect venue and the staff were amazing from the lead up and throughout our wedding day. We will forever remember the memories we made that day and Allely Estate will always hold a special place in our hearts.
F. P.From the moment we stepped into Allely estate we were blown away by the place. The team were welcoming from the beginning. We showed up without an appointment and Stuart, the owner, initially took us round before Athina sat us down and wowed us with her laugh and her knowledge of wedding planning.
It was just easy - there was no stress (apart from the Covid alert levels!) and the day was everything we imagined.
Delicious food, excellent flow to the day and fantastic service.
The place is just beautiful- amazing grounds, perfect mix of indoor and outdoors, excellent space for the ceremony and then for the guests to be entertained while we were taking our photos next door.
Definitely worth a look - you will not regret having your wedding at Allely Estate!
K. D.The place was gorgeous! We attended a wedding here. The staff were very friendly, courteous and they attended to our requests. The only thing I can say is that getting to the place is tricky (due to google maps) as it makes you do a loop around a few corners and then back to get to the place.
J. L.The most amazing team at Allely Estate. I cannot thank Athina enough for bringing my special day to life. She was an angel through some trying times. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I planned my wedding in ONE MONTH. With being in a crunch for time and having a range of questions and requests, Athina really catered to everything I wanted. We didn't have the biggest of budgets but working as a team we made do with what we had! I've seen this place done up with all the extra frills but, even simply decorated with greenery it was still so beautiful. This place will hold such a special place in my heart as this was where my mum shared her last bout of energy and walked me down the aisle. My mum adored Athina and said she was an angel sent to us at the perfect time. I asked Athina if I could shave our heads for cancer here and she supported us the whole way. She took care of my mum when she was starting to feel weak throughout the night and made herself fit right with our family. Everything fell into place when I met Athina. I am so overjoyed to have been married here. The whole process was stress free and I cannot recommend them enough. Love love love Allely Estate 🤍
Z. S.Even before I got engaged, I knew I wanted to have my wedding reception at Allely Estate.
Planning the reception with Athina was an efficient process. We got to know her and she got to know us. It was a miracle our wedding even happened the day after the three-day snap lockdown was lifted! All thanks to Jesus.
Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the gardens to take their own photos, the service staff and the plated menu, which we received so many glowing comments about!
On the day, Pam and Natalya made sure that everything was taken care of and everything ran according to time, which impressed me and by bridal party. They even took food to the bridal prep room to make sure we're fed and hydrated.
Thank you so much Allely Estate team for journeying with us. I also note your generosity for letting us have the draping and dance floor. I truly had the wedding of my dreams.
S. R.Thank you so much to the team at Allely Estate for hosting our wedding in January 2022!
Special thanks to the awesome wedding coordinater Athina and her team for providing us with amazing food and service throughout!
From the very start we felt supported in organising our big day and the process was made smooth and seamless!
So thank you again team :)
F. N.A venue for weddings birthdays and events. Went for a wedding here. Nice place. Very professional staff. The food we were served was nice and the drinks were more than water so that was a bonus.
R.Very nice gardens and food was great too. I would recommend them for anyone's wedding to make sure it is a special day.
A. V.It isn’t helpful that COVID-19 had to make its appearance during the already tricky planning phase but rest assured, Athina and the Allely team did more than what was required to keep us sane, provided us answers to an onslaught of questions and delivered an exceptional ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Cheers to the entire Allely team. We’re forever thankful for the experience

T. A.Nice place to have a function or company parties or any other sort of fuctions wedding for one lovely service people as well
A. &. K. B.I have used Allely Estate a few times now for our company Christmas function and it's always been fantastic. The set up was perfect and the food was awesome. There was always more than enough to go around our 90+ staff. The staff were always polite and very helpful.
S. N.Best events venue for Auckland.
Try it out, the management is friendly and awesome. Location is Ecstatic.
D. F.My husband and I LOVED LOVED LOVED having our reception at this beautiful place. Everything about it is amazing!! We had about 165 people in the Garden marquee, round tables And it was perfect, plenty of space and lovely flow through into the perfectly manicured garden into the house (which is so pretty!!) where the the bar and food was for guests. It’s an extremely picturesque venue! The food was so good too!! Our guests still remind us. Last but not least, Athena! She makes everything happen and guides you through the process from organising right through to the end of the night. She gets stuff done and is in the best way, super honest and super helpful! So grateful for all her work with us ❤️
Cannot recommend this place enough - actually 4 of our guests have since used Allely for their wedding receptions! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
S.The Think Pink Team ( under the umbrella of New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation) had their second fundraiser at Allely Estate.
Right from the start Athina Kaffes and Stuart Thornell are absolutely remarkable in helping us organise the whole event. Their level of professionalism and eager to help and offer suggestions as to how to make the event even more successful, are second to none.
Allely Estate is highly recommended for any successful function if classy is what you’re looking for.
E. B.We were extremely impressed with Allely Estate, the grounds and historic villa make for a romantic wedding venue. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully plated. A huge thank you to Athina and her friendly staff who made the big day stress-free, even when things didn't go to plan we felt assured knowing that Athina would solve any problems that arose.
R. B.My daughter was recently married here. I cant speak highly enough about the quality of food and the service. The best I've ever experienced. The food was exceptionally good, like fantastic. Everyone commented on it. And it is a beautiful venue. We are so glad our daughter chose Allely for her wedding.

S.We want to say the biggest thank you to Athina and the team at Allely for the amazing day that we had. We fell in love with the venue the moment we saw it and knew that was where we had to have our wedding.
Athina went above and beyond to help up put everything together and we could not have done it without her. From day one, she told us not to stress because she'd sort it out, and she did exactly that. We told her what we wanted, and she got it done. Not only did she help us organise our vendors, she took charge and helped us solve our problems, she was very understanding and supportive when we thought we may have to postpone the wedding, she was also our personal hype woman on the day, but most of all, she felt like a good old friend we could have a chat and a laugh with every time we saw her, and we are so sad that we have to say goodbye!
Everything was amazing - the food, the marquee, the gardens and especially the amazing staff were so professional and lovely! My husband didn't feel too well just before the reception, and they kept coming up to our bridal table during the reception to make sure we were hydrated and well fed.
We just had the most amazing day, so thank you to everyone there for everything you guys have done for us. Definitely highly recommended!
A. L. T.Beautiful place for today's wedding
A. M.Very friendly staff. Excellent venue for a wedding. Clean and very well maintained. From the lawns to the toilets, from the table cloth to the decor, everything was in immaculate condition. Super helpful and ever attentive staff members, never hesitant to lend a hand or assist you when you're in need. The bar was very well stocked with ample choice and the barman was pleasant and held a good conversation. Food was cooked to perfection and the chef really knew what he was doing in terms of flavour profiles and food pairing. A definite recommend for hosting a wedding or private function.
L. W.We had my sister's wedding at Allely Estate this weekend and the staff, venue and food were phenomenal. Athena the wedding/event planner at the estate was incredible. She promised the day would be perfect and she exceeded all of our expectations. It was a truly magical day, and the incredible staff made the day so easy. Highly recommended this place for any special occasion. Thankyou so much Athena!
K. M.Very good venue, food excellent ,good service
A. R.Very poor service, lunch was served at 5 pm...not organized at all. The food was mediocre 😕
A. W.We had our wedding at Allely Estate in September. From our first visit with Athina we knew we wanted our wedding at Allely. She was organised, professional, kept us calm and listened to us to find out what we wanted on our day. People commented that we were so calm in the lead up to the wedding - this was because we had full trust in the venue and their team.
Athina and the team at Allely did a phenomenal job and made the whole planning process so easy.
We are so pleased with how everything went, and cannot recommend the venue and team highly enough. Thank you so much for giving us the day of our dreams
S. K.First thing first, we will forever be grateful for Athina and the Allely Estate team. From the moment we met, we knew this team would be our dream team to run our wedding and ensure everything goes to plan.
We had our day on 23rd February 2020, I was totally stress free on the day! Athina and her team ensured everything was in place and on time, the staff ensured everyone was looked after and all our guests had a great time. We had so many compliments regarding the food prepared on the day – bless the hands that prepared our meals and so many compliments how beautiful the venue is and how friendly the staff are. The guests have been talking about how delicious the food was on our wedding day, we had not a single complaint. The venue, the gardens, the décor, the food and the staff and the service – absolutely amazing.
We would like to take this time to give the biggest thank you to Athina & The Allely Estate team for looking after us over the last 12 months and our guests. You all have been truly amazing and our day would not have been a success without you all. Athina, you were the backbone and the fort holding this wedding together and we will forever hold you dearly close to our hearts. She was and still is absolutely amazing. Parting ways with you has been the absolute hardest but thank you so much for coming on this journey with us. There are not enough thank you’s in this world to tell you how grateful we are for you all. Athina and team, we wish you guys all the best!
Love, The Kumars xx
M. M.Staff were very helpful and professional. The gardens are gorgeous. Parking was a bit tight though, and the food could have been better - they had a paneer dish that had a kind of plasticy taste that I didn't enjoy. The seating wasn't the best setup either but I'm not sure how much of that was due to the people organising the wedding.
K. S.Beautiful locations for a wedding, the food was delicately presented and tasted amazing. On top of that the bonus for our evening goes out to our waiter Troy (table 9 on 12/11) was fantastic, very attentive, very confident and also discreet in his service. What an asset!
K. S.Even though my original event manager had an unfortunate personal circumstance to attend to a week before my wedding, I had the amazing Chellie and the rest of Allely staff to help attend to my guests. They were all very professional, provided excellent service and gave me one less thing to worry about ! The food was amazing and the gardens beautiful as always. The only problem was that it rained during the ceremony so we weren’t able to utilise the beautiful grounds ! :(
Thanks again to all the Allely Estate staff for helping me create a beautiful night.

R. G.Best wedding venue that I have been to in the last few years, idyllic setting and great food, I'm tempted to get married there myself !
B. M.Went for a wedding, nice place but $6 for a can of coke...food was amazing. But the price of drinks was a real let down for this place. Weather it was negotiated as part of hiring the place or not I'm not use as I know that some venues offer to hike the prices up of alcohol to supplement the venue hire and food.
J. L.Lovely venue. Very professional
C. F.I have just one word to describe this place and their wedding team: PERFECT
I could not imagine myself getting married anywhere else…
Heitor (the Venue wedding planner) made sure every details was taken care off and
since my first visit until the end of the party everything was just amazing…
We didn’t have a huge budget for this wedding but all our needs were accommodated and friends and family were treated like royalties.
Thank you very much team… you made my dream wedding come true…

A.We would like to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Chellie, our experience with her was absolutely flawless and we could not have asked for a better manager. We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to the way she co-ordinated her team to suit our event, having only started with us 3 weeks before the event due to unforseen circumstances. There was nothing left undone, Chellie went the extra mile to ensure we were getting exactly what we had asked for, reassured us and was always on hand and easy to reach. She was extremely easy to work with and went out of her way to ensure our day was perfect.
Our experience truly would not have been the same without her. Thank you Chellie for everything, words cannot express how grateful we are for everything you have done for us, you made the last few weeks before the wedding an absolute pleasure. You are amazing, much love.

J. F.Allely Estate and the staff are outstanding. We had our wedding here and it was spectacular. The gardens were immaculate, the staff were so helpful and the plated menu was amazing (massive portions!).
The venue coordinator Athina was awesome, whatever you want, she’s on it straight away.
Overall, best experience and I recommend you book Allely Estate. They talk big game and they deliver on it 110%
J. K.Now that the dust has settled, our honeymoon has been enjoyed, and our thank-yous have been sent out, I'd like to share our experience putting together a wedding with Athina and the team at Allely Estate.
We wanted a venue with a proven track record, and a planner we could enjoy working with. We are doing this once and wanted to get it right, and Athina was full of suggestions, ideas, and contacts to get our day planned in no time at all. From themes to décor to vendors, every recommendation turned out to be a winner. No plan survived 2020/2021 unscathed, but Athina was always available to hear our concerns and find us another calendar slot to try again!
When our day finally arrived, it ran like clockwork. If I could, I would even credit Allely Estate with providing the sunshine! The staff were friendly and efficient, the venue was stunning, and the food was outstanding. For days afterwards, we kept hearing from guests eager to tell us how much they enjoyed our wedding and how well we had chosen our venue.
Thanks again to Athina and the Allely Estate team from the new Mr and Mrs Keene
R. P.Beautiful venue helpful friendly staff and the food was awesome I highly recommend this place over and over
