The Old Church opens on to a sun-filled Conservatory, which in turn opens out onto The Courtyard Garden and Bar.
The three complementary spaces can be used exclusively for weddings of up to 175 guests.
Intimate weddings of up to 40 guests may reserve private use of the Conservatory and Courtyard areas.
With flexible ceremony times and our 1am licence, your guests have more time to enjoy the special day.
Set amongst the grapevines, with stunning views of the Ruahine and Kaweka ranges, The Old Church is a place where fabulous memories are made.

Winter Weddings
Warm Hearted Winter Weddings, Timeless Romance
The Old Church weddings are timeless. It is our pleasure to hold celebrations throughout the year as every season in Hawkes Bay is as beautiful and magical as the next. The landscape changes in color and character and reception settings transition from starlight to firelight. Whatever the season or weather, the warmth and professionalism of our team is present year round. We will assist in transforming your vision for your wedding day as it comes to life.
Autumn and Winter weddings are equally if not more beautiful than those in summer. With the sun setting earlier, the beauty of our fairy lights, candlelight and beautiful chandeliers glow in all their magnificence. The exceptional colors of the leaves of the Vineyard lend an incredible background to your wedding and photography.
