Weddings and Events at The Tannery — Attraction in Christchurch

From the moment my husband and I walked into Blue Smoke at The Tannery, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. After visiting several venues around Christchurch, none impressed us or offered to deliver half of Lorrie’s service. Her professionalism and expertise stood out immediately. Despite having only three months to plan our wedding for 80 guests, Lorrie made the process smooth and stress-free. She handled every detail with care, ensuring everything was perfect on the day. Lorrie went above and beyond, ensuring every detail was covered, relieving us of all stress and worries. She truly made our day seamless. If you want someone who will guide you every step of the way, Lorrie is the only events manager I would recommend. Not only was the venue stunning, but our guests were also raving about the food and the exceptional service they received. We couldn’t have asked for a...

Let's be honest this is NOT a concert venue but a large pub. Went to see Larkin Poe and the venue didn't do them justice at all. It was packed out around 200 people the band was amazing but and its a big but. If you want to go see a band, drink and talk to your mate all night then yep its great, However if you are a muso or really want to hear a band with good sound then nah!!!

Larkin Poe were so talented but Blue Smoke was the wrong place. In short Blue Smoke is not a concert venue...

I had the pleasure of hosting an event at The Tannery, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From start to finish, the venue exceeded all expectations. The space is stunning and perfect for any occasion. What truly made our experience exceptional was the outstanding service provided by Lorie and the team. Lorie was an absolute dream to work with—she was incredibly accommodating, always available to answer questions, and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. The execution of our event was flawless, and it was clear that the team at The Tannery takes great pride in their work. Every detail was handled with care, and the entire experience was seamless. I couldn't have asked for a better venue or a more professional team to make our...
