Weddings in Nelson

Just 45 minutes by air from Christchurch and even less from the capital, Nelson is a city like no other in New Zealand. Surrounded by national parks, stunning beaches and crystal clear ocean, this is one of the country's sunshine capitals and a sought after location for a fantastic wedding.

The Rutherford Hotel Nelson places you in the heart of the city, making it ideal for all your guests, and with a list of facilities that truly is hard to beat, we can ensure your every request is met in full. Here we believe flexibility is the key to a successful wedding, so our experienced staff will be able to show you a complete range of options to fulfil your wedding dreams.

Whether you prefer an outdoor ceremony and reception or wish to use one of our many specialist rooms or restaurants as your venue of choice, we can make sure you and your guests are always catered for. The Port O Call Bar is the perfect place for your guests to meet and mingle before or after the ceremony and we can arrange full, a la carte dinners or canapes and cocktails - in fact, we can tailor a menu of food and beverage to satisfy your needs. This is a place where fairytale weddings come true.
