Wasting Light
For couples seeking something beyond the traditional wedding venue, Wasting Light offers an extraordinary way to celebrate against one of New Zealand’s most beautiful natural backdrops. This beautifully appointed 21-metre luxury motor yacht provides a private, boutique setting on Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf, combining open water, island landscapes and the freedom to shape an occasion entirely around you.
Exchange vows on board surrounded by sweeping ocean views before stepping ashore on Waiheke Island for photographs along its white-sand beaches. Celebrations can continue at sea, or guests can transfer to one of Waiheke’s renowned vineyards for a reception or dining experience among the vines.
From intimate half-day ceremonies to immersive wedding and honeymoon experiences, Wasting Light offers a wonderfully flexible approach, with catering, florals and styling curated through a trusted network of creative partners, or by bringing together your own preferred team.
Beyond larger celebrations, Wasting Light is particularly special for proposals, elopements and micro-weddings, offering privacy and a remarkable sense of occasion, along with an incredible photographic opportunity against the yacht, harbour and island scenery.
Private, considered and distinctly New Zealand, Wasting Light is a design-led alternative for couples wanting to create something truly memorable.
