Larcomb
Rolleston, Canterbury
Nestled just outside of Christchurch in Rolleston, Larcomb Vineyard is a full-service wedding venue that beautifully blends rustic charm with elegant versatility. Surrounded by manicured vineyards, historic buildings, and picturesque gardens, it combines rustic elegance with modern sophistication that offers a truly romantic backdrop for your special day.
​​
Originally a working winery and restaurant with the Stables building dating back to the late 1800's, is now a venue to host your beautiful wedding celebrations with your nearest and dearest. The combination of the rustic buildings, exposed wooden beams, festoon lighting in the courtyard, flourishing gardens, and surrounded by endless spaces for photos - Larcomb Vineyard makes for the perfect wedding venue.
​
At Larcomb Vineyard, your wedding isn’t just an event – it’s an experience. Our dedicated and passionate team ensure that your day feels uniquely yours, with every detail thoughtfully handled, allowing you to soak up every moment of your stress-free day.
Larcomb Vineyard has three indoor spaces which are full of character and charm, and lush large outdoor areas to compliment the different aspects of your wedding day. Each space has its own unique features, but all comes with the same special service. From saying your vows surrounded by nature to celebrating in our stunning Big Barn, every corner of Larcomb Vineyard is designed to create an unforgettable wedding experience - for you and your guests.
​
The Big Barn is a spacious and striking space with high ceilings, exposed wooden beams and draping fairy lights, adding elegance to a rustic styled space. With the capacity to seat up to 250 guests, there’s ample space for dining and dancing the night away. This reception space allows for you to customise the space that fits within your unique wedding celebrations. The in-built PA system and microphone ensures that speeches and background music can be heard across the room. A large black curtain can be easily moved to make this space the perfect size for a wide range of guest numbers, without the feeling of needing to ‘fill the space’. Large double doors at the rear of the building allow for seamless set ups and the ability for large theming items. A rustic bar and rest rooms are also a part of this space, meaning that everything needed for your reception is in the same room.
​
The Small Barn is the original restaurant and winery building of the vineyard which features exposed timber beams, warm wood textures, and soft ambient lighting, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Large windows flood the room with natural light and offer views of the surrounding greenery, along with French doors that open onto manicured lawns. On a wedding day, this space is typically only used as an indoor ceremony option and cocktail hour space in inclement weather or a space to leave a few bags, set up a kids play area, or allow older guests to escape the heat of the day. However, this space can also be transformed into an intimate reception area, seating up to 60 guests. A brick open fire can be roaring on the colder days, or the heat pump ticking along keeping everyone comfortable, and bathrooms are adjacent to this room.
​
The Stables. A delightful historic building from the late 1800's, the Stables provides an immense amount of character and charm. This private space is filled with rustic furnishings, exposed brick and natural vines growing overhead. The undercover courtyard can accommodate up to 20 guests seated or 60 guests cocktail-style. Widely utilised as an outdoor bar for postceremony and canapé hour drinks, or an intimate space for bridal party photos, mix and mingling, or elopements.
​
The Courtyard. This beautifully curated outdoor space is filled with rustic charm that feels both relaxed and refined. The courtyard is both a social hub and a vibe-setter, offering guests a laid-back yet polished environment with outdoor festoon lighting, red brick paving, and vineyard views. This area interconnects all spaces and is set with wine barrels as bar leaners, bar stools, and other casual seating options, with outdoor umbrellas, providing shade. The courtyard space is ideal for mix and mingling during canapés and summer receptions.
We understand that the setting of declaring your vows to each other is an important part of your wedding day, and we have two great outdoor options to choose from. The front lawn and the vines both provide their own unique features and vibe. Our team set your ceremony location of choice with chairs, signing wine barrel, a portable PA system to play your ceremony music, and provide a wireless microphone so your celebrant can be heard by all guests. Ceremonies are available to be held from 2pm, or earlier by arrangement.
​
Front Lawn. Framed by the charming red-brick courtyard, rustic buildings, and manicured gardens, the Front Lawn is where cherished moments begin. Not only does this space feel intimate and stylish, it also offers natural picturesque shots that photographers love - an ideal setting to express your commitment to one another. Easy to access and effortlessly elegant, the Front Lawn is a crowd favourite for a reason.
​
In The Vines. Nestled between rows of green vines, this naturally romantic setting adds an elegant touch to exchanging your vows. With minimal decor needed, an aisle lined with white and lavender alyssum, and gorgeous golden-hour lighting, this space is ideal for couples seeking a serene, vineyard‑style moment. This space was a fabulous addition to the venue in the summer of 2023.
