Weddings with River & Range
A relaxed garden wedding venue in the Manawatū
River & Range Café offers intimate, nature‑filled weddings with great food at their heart.
Set within the gardens at The Herb Farm, just outside Palmerston North, our venue is perfect for couples wanting a celebration that feels personal, calm, and unforced.
Whether you’re planning a simple ceremony, a shared canapé hour, or a full reception, we offer flexible options to suit your day.
The setting
Nestled among established gardens and open green spaces, River & Range provides a naturally beautiful backdrop without the need for heavy styling. The space invites guests to slow down, connect, and enjoy the experience.
Our venue suits couples who value atmosphere, food, and authenticity over formality.
