Exceptional Cuisine for Māori & Pasifika Celebrations
Food plays an important role in many Māori and Pasifika wedding celebrations, reflecting manaakitanga (hospitality), generosity, and the coming together of whānau, church communities, family, and friends. At Settlers Country Manor, we offer flexible catering options for weddings of all sizes, whether you're planning a traditional feast, generous buffet service, plated dining, or a menu inspired by your family's heritage.
Following your ceremony, guests can enjoy canapés, grazing tables, and shared platters before gathering for the reception. Our wedding menus can be tailored to include family favourites, cultural menus, and contemporary cuisine, giving couples the flexibility to create a dining experience that reflects their traditions and personal tastes.
Dessert can be served as a shared display or as plated courses, with options ranging from traditional favourites to modern selections. For couples bringing together Māori, Pasifika, and other multicultural backgrounds, we can work with you to create a menu that celebrates the cultures, flavours, and people coming together on your wedding day.
