| A romantic
venue for weddings and honeymoons Claremont
is a superb wedding venue with elegant on-site accommodation
options. At Claremont, we specialize in tailor making the
event to suit your needs and tastes. We pride ourselves
on the high level of flexibility that we offer guests.
Claremont is an 1866 historic homestead, built of hand-cut
limestone, set in lovely mature grounds beside the Waipara
River operates as a Luxury Lodge offering exclusive B&B
accommodation and is also available for functions and weddings.
You can have your ceremony either off-site and simply
stay here on your wedding night or be married in our beautiful
gardens and hold your reception here provided you book Claremont
for “exclusive use” of the property by booking
all the Lodge accommodation.

The choice of catering options is left to your discretion
and taste, using the services of catering professionals.
We offer our preferred and nominated caterer for small wedding
receptions of up to around 30 people. Larger wedding groups
generally require a marquee and then you will need to select
and engage your own professional caterer as well as all
other suppliers.
We work closely with an established and reputable Christchurch
based Wedding Planner, Emma Newman.
She will work with you to facilitate all aspects of your
special day and can be hired by you independently as an
optional extra for the smaller weddings. For larger marquee
weddings there are many details to be accommodated and it
is a formal requirement to engage Emma as your wedding planner.
We would be delighted for you to hold your special wedding
day with us and we hope the following provides you with
the necessary information for you to make that decision.
