Sojo had the pleasure of being a part of a recently completed major renovation project at a wedding venue located in Kumeu, New Zealand. This venue, previously known as ‘Gracehill’, has been given a new identity as ‘Abel Estate’ and has undergone significant upgrades and improvements, resulting in a breathtaking space that is sure to delight guest.
The renovation project involved a complete overhaul of the venue’s facilities, with a focus on creating a luxurious and modern space. The most notable of the upgrades is the installation of a stunning bar area, featuring a translucent Onyx stone that has been back-lit, creating a captivating and mesmerising feature that serves as a focal point of the dining room.
Sitting rooms have also been revamped to provide guest with more space to relax and socialize, while featured walls add an element of sophistication and elegance throughout the venue. The décor throughout has been thoughtfully curated to create a refined and welcoming ambiance.
Sojo were thrilled to be a part of this incredible transformation, which has turned an already beautiful wedding venue into a truly breathtaking space.
