Let us host your wedding on the shores of the Wakatipu

Nestled on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and overlooking the spectacular Remarkables mountain range, Wai is the ideal location to hold your big day. Whether you would like to hold your ceremony inside the restaurant or outside on the beautiful wharf or invite your guests to join you at Wai to celebrate your wedding reception, then we have the package to suit you.

With options for pre dinner canapes and cocktails, sit down dinners and gourmet buffets, we can taylor the menu to suit your tastes and style of wedding.

For sit down dinners, we can cater for a guest list of up to 60 people with this increasing for lighter dining options. Alternatively if you would like the established kitchen team at Wai to cater for your wedding at another of the beautiful locations around Queenstown then we would be delighted to take our chefs on tour for your big day.

"I would just like to say that we held our wedding reception at Wai restaurant in March 2010 and i would just like to say a huge thank you to the staff for making the day most wonderful. The setting was gorgeous, the food exquisite, the staff and service were absolutely first class. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone at Wai went above and beyond to ensure we had the most magical day".
The Bride, Debbie.
"It was a dream wedding - a lovely location and church service, beautiful bride, superb food, wine and service. We'd like to thank you and all your team - Alex, Jan, Elliott, your prize winning chef and others whose names I'm afraid I've forgotten. Watching you all swing into action, from the moment the marquee went up, was like a military operation and I know the hard work didn't stop when the last guest departed, for you still had to pack everything up in the wee small hours of the morning. So we'd ask you to show this letter to all your troops as a sign of how much we appreciated their input into our youngest son's wedding. Any young couple lucky enough to have Queenstown and Wai for their wedding are very fortunate."

Thank you all most sincerely
Guy and Colleen Clapshaw
