Giverny Wedding Venue & Sculpture Garden — Hotel in South Island

We celebrated our wedding cocktail reception at Giverny Estate, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

What we had envisioned at the beginning of the year came to life beautifully, and we were amazed by how seamlessly everything unfolded just as we had hoped. Carina (General Manager) was incredibly approachable, communicative, and supportive throughout the entire process — her guidance truly made all the difference.

Giverny Estate was the perfect venue for our celebration, ticking every box in terms of location, size, atmosphere, and facilities. The on-site accommodation was ideal for housing our families, which made the day run smoothly and stress-free.

The entire experience was nothing short of amazing. We’re so grateful to have discovered this hidden gem in Queenstown — our guests were absolutely blown away by its beauty. We honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough!

To top it all off, hiring the White Rolls Royce “Ghost” was the perfect finishing touch — a truly memorable ride and grand entrance to kick off our celebrations post-elopement.

Thank you, Carina and the team, for helping create the best day and experience...

Giverny Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony. We initially planned to have our ceremony on the vast and dramatic grounds of the estate but ended up using the wet weather option- "The Barn" due to the rain the morning of our wedding. We could still have done it on the grounds/garden as the rain stop by midday. However the set up on the "The Barn" was equally dramatic with the glass ceiling which allowed natural light to shine through the room. Carina and Beatrice were also very helpful and accommodating hosts as we also stayed in the villa which made everything a lot easier with the wedding preparations and just having a cozy afternoon the day after the wedding. We are lucky that we found this hidden gem in Queenstown. An intimate yet grand venue...

We had the best wedding at Giverny Estate in February! The venue was absolutely stunning — perfect for a summer wedding, with beautiful views and plenty of space for our guests.

We booked the estate for 3 nights which gave us time to set up, celebrate, and pack down without stress. It was also a great place for our family to stay together.

Carina was amazing to deal with — so helpful and quick to respond, and really accommodating to our needs.

Highly recommend Giverny Estate for anyone planning a wedding or...
