Christchurch Events Centre

Within the Sir Miles Warren designed Russley Golf Club clubhouse we have two separate purpose built lounges which are available to host weddings, conferences, seminars or any other such occasion.

The Terrace and Fairway lounges are sunny, light and look out over the trees and fairway around the beautifully manicured 18th green and 10th tee. The two rooms together are able to comfortably seat 100-150 guests.

Our catering team has an outstanding reputation to be able to cater for any number across a wide range of menus. Our finger food & beverages menu follow for your reference. The catering team can also tailor menu selections to suits your needs.

Other features that make number 19 the perfect venue for your event are that we are easy to find being located conveniently five minutes from the airport and on the main route to the city centre. We have ample parking and are located within walking distance of hotel & motel accommodation.

Clients are advised that bookings for our events centre must be made well in advance. Once a booking is confirmed the details will need to be finalised at least one week in advance.

Wedding facilities
Ceremony
If you think you can organise a fine day you may like to consider being married on our lawn outside the events centre. The area measures approximately 10m x 40m and is ideal for that outside wedding. Should the weather turn nasty then there is the option to hold the ceremony inside the Terrace room.

Reception
Some may still call it the “breakfast” being the first meal after the ceremony; however, it is now more commonly referred to as “dinner”. This is held in our Terrace & Fairway rooms which have a wonderful vista of the golf course. The rooms have a great indoor outdoor flow onto a terrace providing a fabulous view down the 10th fairway. The rooms will comfortably seat up to 120 guests with room for a dance floor.
