Say I do in Staveley: Staveley Co-op 1916


Print this story

Let your dream day take place in this hidden gem of a historic building, set in the foothills of the Southern Alps.

Old world charm welcomes you within Staveley Co-op 1916, a space transformed into a unique, rustic wedding and function venue.

Located beneath the Southern Alps in Staveley, Mid Canterbury, the property’s transformation into a private, peaceful venue is an ode to its history. It’s the work of owner Kathy Harrington-Watt, who has made it a dry hire venue. This means venue users have freedom and full control of the budget, styling, and management.

Built in 1916 and known as the Staveley Dairy Co-op Building, the building was constructed by the local community to produce butter and cheese from local farms. Since, the building has been used as a honey processing plant, animal shed, junk shop, and more, before it became home to many beautiful memories. Event-goers have said Staveley Co-op 1916 is “an absolute gem,” and that “the setting is simply breathtaking, and the venue is refined and stylish.”
