Weddings

The Templin Hall makes for a fabulous Wedding Venue.

The hall is a free house – there are no tied caterers so you can bring your own caterers and refreshments (including alcohol – although this cannot be sold).

There is a commercial kitchen which is registered and approved by the health department and also contains a steriliser. The centre can also accommodate large mobile catering companies, and there is plenty of space for additional equipment too. With your own or hired decorations, the hall can be transformed into a beautiful setting for weddings both large and small.

While we recommend booking in advance, sometimes there are spaces available at short notice.

About the Society

The Canterbury Horticultural Society began with the colonisation of Canterbury in the 1850’s. It was originally called the Christchurch Agricultural, Botanical and Horticultural Society.

In 1861 the group split and the Horticultural arm became the Christchurch Horticultural Society. This changed its name in 1898 to become the Canterbury Horticultural Society, which today is the largest horticultural club for home gardeners in New Zealand.

Our Membership

The Society's membership extends throughout New Zealand and overseas and its comprehensive programme includes garden and native garden awards, a National Garden Register of open gardens to visit, education courses, touring programmes including walking groups and providing advice to gardeners. The Society also has a number of specialist circles, over fifty Garden Clubs and many affiliated groups. The Canterbury Horticultural Society Incorporated is a registered charity in New Zealand.
