Genuinely perfect! Anyone who visits the venue will know just how special the space is. A lot of time and care has gone into the property. The owners Deda and Neil were organized, accommodating, creative, and just honestly went above and beyond any expectation we had from the planning process to the wedding day…

If I could go higher than 5 I would. Amazing! This venue is beautiful. The entire staff makes your day seamless. I was able to enjoy my day without a worry. Everything is handled. Setup, teardown, decorating (if you chose). A coordinator for the day. Truly impressed. Thank you 😊

I had the honor of DJing a wedding on 8/8/26 at Koru Berry Farm. My experience was not like any I have had doing weddings. The owners were the most hospitable owners that I have ever had the opportunity to work with, I cannot say enough nice things about them. They not only take extremely good care of the folks that book with them, but also the vendors. Now lets talk about the venue/property.. absolutely BREATHTAKING. Views for days, beautiful indoor dinner/dancing area, outdoor courtyard with a stage and dance floor, extremely vibey chillout area downstairs. To ice the cake, the ceremony area is hidden with a gigantic gorgeous willow tree. My jaw was on the ground. The evening we had seemed as it was out of a movie. Left that place with a fat heart. I highly recommend Koru Berry Farm for your wedding, or any other event for that matter. Cant wait to go back! Thank you and cheers! :)

Genuinely perfect! Anyone who visits the venue will know just how special the space is. A lot of time and care has gone into the property. The owners Deda and Neil were organized, accommodating, creative, and just honestly went above and beyond any expectation we had from the planning process to the wedding day itself. I truly don’t think they get enough credit for everything they do behind the scenes to make sure their weddings go smoothly and are unique for each couple. They even brought on a day of wedding coordinator, Megan, who made sure we were taken care of.
We had so many amazing memories from the day, but Deda and Neil even organized a surprise meeting with their new highland cows! They knew how excited I was about them and brought them out for their first wedding. It was so incredibly thoughtful.
We couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with!

Wow! I was a part of a wedding at Koru this weekend and what an absolutely delightful venue. I've been a part of many weddings and even coordinated some- they just did such a wonderful job of providing a smooth and well thought event day. The day of coordinator was just fabulous and did such a great job anticipating needs and really went above and behind. They were so thoughtful in all their details and have such a beautiful and unique venue and atmosphere. Getting to stroll around the grounds and check out the animals with an amazing sunset was just magical. Hoping to go back for another event soon!
