Nestled in the Canterbury country side, just 20 minutes drive south of Christchurch. Beautifully landscaped, Hampton Lea Gardens is the perfect setting for your wedding day. Large established trees and sprawling manicured lawns surround a sculptured pond. Giant schist stepping stones float above the waterfall and an ornate silver archway on the deck extends over the water, giving you a beautiful setting for your ceremony. Or if you prefer, make use of the rustic woolshed, with its sparkling chandeliers, silk drapes and red carpet.

You can take your guests back in time to the stylish and classy era of the “high tea party” after your ceremony or use our grounds as a marquee reception site.

Whether you’re after a picturesque outdoor wedding, or a rustic indoor ceremony, a stylish High Tea or a site for your reception marquee, Hampton Lea Gardens caters superbly to you and your guests needs.

For a fine country atmosphere exuding style and flare, offering everything at the one venue ­ Hampton Lea cannot be overlooked.
