Review - HighWic

Share






I went through the site www.myweddingguide.co.nz the other day and wrote down a list of all the venuew I liked without looking for too long, that is where this Venue comes from. 

I know one please it does not come from and that is Google! 
The website it was is the Historical Sites website and to be honest, that is not want I want to see. They are very lucky the building looks good!!


After looking through all of the Facebook photos for HighWic I have realised how much potential they have, there is so many photo placements. It is such a shame that they do not show themselves off more for Weddings. 

I have had to go through many other online avenues to hear other reviews for this place. I am having to use reviewing sites to get good photos etc. Here is what Trip advisor have:





Above are the type of photos I am looking for and so far I have struggled to find more then this. Its hard to picture yourself there when you cant find anything.

Totally crazy that people done thing websites are important. How much business are they missing out on? Facebook page is here

Here are some photos taken by Gareth Nichols slightlypearshaped.blogspot.co.nz




This is their landing page on the Heritage Site






Requested Pricing - No pdfs given on the site
Reply to my email: 

"We do not send out an actual price list as each wedding can be quite individual.
"We have two options for a Wedding of 80 Guests. We have a Billiard House and a Ballroom. I have attached some Photos for you."


"Both areas can cater for up to 80 people mix and mingle and 60 seated.
The prices will vary depending on if you are having your Ceremony and Wedding here or if it is just the Ceremony.

Ranging between $950 inc gst and $1850 inc gst. (great pricing)

We can also cater for a Marquee in our gardens.
 
Additional charges would be Catering and Staffing. We do not supply Caterers so you are able to select your own or cater yourselves. The only other cost would be for our staffing.

I hope that helps a little for you. If you would like to meet and look at the venue, let me know and we can plan a suitable time."
___________________________

The historic Billiard House seats a maximum number of 60 people for a formal dinner and accommodates up to 90 people for a cocktail reception. It can be used in conjunction with the Ballroom or as a standalone venue.

The Ballroom with its grand piano was added in the late 1870s and is a great choice for special occasions. It accommodates up to 50 people seated or 75 people standing. With its Kauri panelling, Victorian antiques and original artwork, this exclusive venue offers a warm ambiance perfect for hosting clients or celebrating special occasions such as weddings, birthdays or anniversaries.

For larger functions up to 200 people, a marquee can be set up on the front mature trees with the main house providing a picture perfect backdrop.Highwic has one of Auckland’s most complete historic gardens, including a tennis court, croquet lawn and a fernery. It is the perfect place for a relaxed garden party or barbeque.

The Events site www.platniumhire.co.nz knew more about the venue then the venues own webiste:
Highwic offers an authentic Victorian Ballroom, Billiard House and spacious grounds for marquees. Highwic’s beautiful garden is the perfect setting for a relaxed garden party or barbeque.










    I like this place, but really disappointed in the amount of information that is not available and the amount of hunting I had to do to find information.
