Your venue hire will include:
Suitable for wedding buffets from 40 to 85 persons, The Tea House is Riccarton Park's premium wedding venue. Sited to the west of the Grandstands in its own separate park setting, The Tea House is a fine example of a stylistic Edwardian building. Built in 1903 and now restored to its original design, it features a wide veranda and two large roof turrets giving it a pavilion-like appearance. Complimenting the exterior features, are the unique Tongue & Groove walls inside the Tea House. Guests will be seated at round tables. Outside wedding ceremonies can be arranged on the Tea House Lawn.
The delightful, old-world charm of The Show Gate makes it an excellent wedding venue for up to 300 persons (seated dining) and up to 400 persons for a cocktail party. The Show Gate has a dance floor and small stage area, perfect for a wedding reception! An adjacent, fully landscaped Lawn Court area also provides attractive outdoor options.
Suitable for 50 – 150 persons seated dining in the Balmerino Room. Cocktail functions can accommodate up to 300 persons in the Balmerino Room and 350 persons in the Nightmarch Room. Both rooms are located within a modern, architecturally designed and functional complex that makes the ideal indoor wedding venue. With guests able to move between the room, numerous options are available for wedding functions and receptions. Bar facilities in the Nightmarch Room ensure that people are refreshed and satisfied after wedding dinners.
The use of these areas are free if a venue is booked. Outdoor tables and chairs are an additional cost. Riccarton Park's mature trees and grassed areas provide the ideal setting for a BBQ, picnic or company sports day. We also have a range of hotels/motels nearby for those that need accomodation.
