Some wedding days feel truly magical. Samuel and Melissa’s celebration at Batch Winery was one of those days. Golden Waiheke sunshine, vineyard views, and a loving couple made their day a blend of elegance, joy, and connection. Indigo Waiheke specialises in stunning Waiheke weddings, with personal touches.
Set on Waiheke Island's hills, Batch Winery features modern design, stunning views, and sunny vineyards. The ceremony took place on a lawn facing the Hauraki Gulf, where guests enjoyed gentle ocean breezes and birdsong, creating a serene and exciting atmosphere.
Samuel and Melissa’s reception styling was a vibrant twist on vineyard elegance. Crisp white linens and modern white chairs created a clean base, while pops of citrus, deep burgundy, and bright orange florals brought the table to life.
Seasonal fruit — lemons, limes, grapes — were scattered artfully down the table, paired with single stems in slim glass vases for a fresh, playful feel. A lush floral arrangement at the head of the table spilled onto the gravel in a cascade of dahlias, marigolds, and hydrangeas — dramatic, joyful, and totally unexpected.
The look was modern, a little cheeky, and absolutely unforgettable.
As the sun began to dip, the couple snuck away for portraits among the vines. The light danced off Melissa’s veil and cast a golden glow across Samuel’s proud smile. These moments were quiet, intimate — the perfect pause in a day full of celebration.
Back at the reception, the space had transformed into a warm and welcoming dinner setting. Long tables were adorned with wild florals, local wine flowed freely (of course), and the laughter never once dimmed.
