About this business

Looking for a wedding venue that’s out of the ordinary? How about River Valley, New Zealand’s original adventure lodge.

Tucked away at the base of the Ruahine Ranges and Mt. Aorangi, on the banks of the Rangitikei River, River Valley Lodge is the perfect escape from the stress of every day life. With its rustic charm, River Valley can provide you with the perfect exclusive venue for your special occasion.

We are a small, family run business and this allows us to offer you a more personal service. We want to help you make your wedding a memorable experience, and understand that every wedding is different. We can offer you exclusive use of the venue for the full day, allowing you to customise things to your needs. And if you have any special requests, no matter how big or small, we can work with you to tailor make the wedding you’ve always wanted.

River Valley is a truly special venue that has it all. A beautiful venue, luxury accommodation and an on-site bar and restaurant. But to make your wedding even more memorable, create some truly special memories by getting your family and friends together and trying one of our rafting or horse trekking adventures. Our wedding package includes a free adventure activity for the bride and groom – a great way to test your relationship!
