Weddings
The natural beauty of Murchison and its surrounds make a stunning backdrop to a wedding, with numerous weddings taking place here every year. The majesty of the mountains, hills and rivers supply a photographic backdrop to rival any location in the world.
Murchison offers the complete wedding package with a stunning conference and event venue, and a local marriage celebrant. With luxury accommodation options for the bride and grooms wedding night, and other accommodation ranging from back packer to 5 star for the guests, there’s something for everyone.
A point worth noting is rural wedding pricing tends to be a fraction of the price of weddings held in a city or main centre, which may make the difference when planning your big day. And a wedding in Murchison may help with travel budgeting for your guests, too – Murchison is the ‘centre of everywhere’ only 1hr 30 minutes from Nelson, 2hrs from Picton, less than an hour and a half from the West Coast and 3hrs 20 mins from Christchurch. You can turn your special day into a wonderful destination experience for your guests.
Stags and hens weekends are also very welcome in Murchison. With jet boating, rafting, kayaking, zip lining, massage, yoga, Pilates and adventure training options available, as well as day hunts, gold panning, fly fishing , there is a weekend full of activities before the big day.
