Novotel New Plymouth Taranaki

Novotel New Plymouth Taranaki sits on the corner of Hobson and Leach Streets, a short walk from the foreshore and the coastal walkway in the middle of town. It is a full-service hotel that runs weddings through a dedicated events team, and it takes bookings a year or two ahead for the busy season. The event spaces flex to suit the day, with room for a seated dinner of up to 150 guests or a cocktail reception of up to 200. Ceremony and reception can both happen on site, which keeps everything under one roof if the Taranaki weather turns. Catering and drinks are handled in house, and the team also caters weddings offsite around the region. With rooms upstairs, guests who have travelled can stay the night and roll straight into breakfast. It suits couples after a straightforward city wedding close to Pukekura Park and the waterfront, with the logistics taken care of by the hotel.
