Tucked away in the stunning Bay of Islands, Baylys’ Farm is the kind of wedding venue that gives you that perfect mix of coastal beauty, open farmland, and modern luxury… without losing that relaxed, effortless feeling every couple is secretly craving.

Baylys Farm Wedding Venue: Two Wedding Venues in One Location
One of the most unique things about Baylys’ Farm is that you have two breathtaking venue options to choose from:
Both offer their own stunning setting and layout, so whether you’re imagining something intimate and romantic or a bigger celebration with all your favourite people, you can choose the space that fits your vibe best — without needing to compromise on scenery.
This “two venues in one” setup is perfect if you want options for:
-
different ceremony locations
-
different guest counts
-
different styling visions
-
or simply peace of mind knowing you’ve got flexibility
Plus, having two venues in one location means you can choose the space that suits your guest list and wedding style best.

That Unreal Bay of Islands Backdrop (Coastal + Farm = Best of Both Worlds)
Baylys’ Farm is known for its dramatic landscapes — rolling farmland meeting stunning water views — and it’s one of those venues where you don’t need to “create” the magic… it’s already there.
From golden light over the hills to those coastal breezes during your ceremony, everything feels cinematic — and as a photographer, it’s the kind of place that makes portraits look effortlessly timeless.
Even better, the venue feels rustic without losing that elevated touch. With sweeping scenery in every direction, it never feels overdone — just naturally stunning. Altogether, the property feels thoughtfully designed for unforgettable wedding days.

-
a destination-style wedding weekend
