At the Shearwater Hotel & Spa, we specialize in creating unforgettable weddings tailored uniquely to you.

Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a grand affair for up to 500 guests, our team is here to bring your vision to life. Our recently refurbished ballroom offers a refined, elegant space for your big day. With a soft, neutral colour palette and thoughtfully designed focal points, the room serves as the perfect backdrop for your celebration — and your photographs. Step outside onto our newly landscaped private garden patio, where the outdoors blend beautifully with the indoors. Thanks to our wall-to-wall garden-view windows, guests can comfortably mingle in one cohesive space that photographs as beautifully as it feels. Our venue offers a wide array of scenic spots, both inside and out, ensuring timeless wedding photos and eliminating the need to travel off-site — giving you more precious time with your guests.
Weddings are our speciality, and fine food is our promise. Our Executive Head Chef oversees every wedding meal with the utmost care and attention, ensuring an exceptional dining experience for you and your guests. Our new Spa, Fitness Centre, and dedicated Beauty Rooms provide the perfect setting for bridal preparations on the morning of your big day — all under one roof.
