A special intimate setting: Rose Historic Chapel

Secluded central city rose gardens, and a beautiful circular stained glass window, sets the scene for small intimate weddings at one of Christchurch’s beloved historic gems.

A picturesque Victorian stone building with high ceilings and a treasure-trove of stained glass windows creates a stunning setting hard to beat; a picture-perfect backdrop for special wedding memories and gorgeous photographs.

Once a church, the Rose Historic Chapel is now administered by a trust, on behalf of the Christchurch City Council, leased out as a wedding and event venue. Both inside and out, with private gardens also for the guests’ enjoyment, the chapel is ideal for unique photo opportunities. Especially suitable for smaller ceremonies, the chapel celebrates inclusivity, welcoming wedding ceremonies of all religions and cultures.

Conveniently located in the CBD, Rose Historic Chapel is great for weddings during any season, keeping you warm and dry in colder winter months and cool and shaded by lush greenery on hot summer days. If weather allows, the gardens offer a tranquil area for guests to gather before moving to a reception location.
