Your Dream Wedding in a Secluded Bush and Beach Setting
Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by 25 acres of native New Zealand bush on the slopes of Mount Pauanui. Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort offers a peaceful, picture-perfect venue that blends the intimacy of a forest hideaway with the stunning beauty of the Coromandel coast. Just a short stroll from the golden sands of Pauanui Beach, this resort is ideal for couples wanting a destination wedding that feels both private and deeply connected to nature. The chalet-style architecture creates a cozy mountainside lodge vibe, perfect for weddings with up to 120 guests.
Flexible Ceremony and Reception Spaces Tailored to You
Whether you dream of a beach ceremony with the ocean as your backdrop or prefer a charming forest setting, this venue has you covered. Many couples choose Pauanui Beach for their ceremony, while others opt for the resort’s deck, which basks in afternoon sunlight.
