Pre-wedding special

(with option for bride and groom’s first night)

125 m² / Large entertaining area / Sleeps up to 7 guests

At The Red Barns, you can make your pre-wedding preparations unforgettable by booking all the suites exclusively for you and your bridal party. The night before your wedding, gather your bridesmaids and enjoy the spacious comfort of the West Wing and East Wing, giving everyone plenty of room to relax, celebrate, and soak up the anticipation together. With its peaceful setting in the Canterbury countryside, The Red Barns offers a private retreat where laughter, memories, and moments of calm set the perfect tone for the big day ahead.

On the morning of your wedding, the West Wing becomes the ultimate bridal suite. Its large, beautifully lit living spaces provide ample room for hair, makeup, and all the excitement of getting ready, while the elegant interiors and old-world charm create a stunning backdrop for photographs. From candid shots with your bridesmaids to those all-important portraits before you walk down the aisle, every corner of The Red Barns has been designed to look and feel special.

After the celebrations, we lightly tidy the rooms to welcome you and your husband back as newlyweds. Imagine returning from your wedding to the quiet serenity of your private suite, surrounded by the Port Hills and the gentle sound of birdsong. With luxury furnishings, a comfortable queen bed, and the intimate atmosphere of the countryside, The Red Barns offers the perfect place to relax, reflect, and begin your first day of married life together.
