“Anchor Ridge as a venue, is spectacular! Such a beautiful location and a stunning view over Whangarei Heads.

We have attended a wedding as guests there and also had our wedding photos taken in the quarry garden. 

John and Adele go above and beyond to ensure your experience is enjoyable and goes smoothly. 10/10, I couldn’t rate them highly enough!”
