Pre-wedding special

Get 10% off booking total

Large entertaining area / Courtyard / Perfect for wedding preparations

Make your pre-wedding preparations unforgettable by booking both the Red Barns suites. Share the night before your wedding with your bridesmaids/groomsmen 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 special moments together set the perfect tone for the day ahead.

On the morning of your wedding, the West Wing becomes the ultimate wedding preparation venue. Its large, light living spaces provide ample room for hair and make-up stylists, plus any visitors who stop by, while the elegant interiors and old-world charm also create a stunning backdrop for your photographer to capture some great shots. 

When you have left for the celebrations, we lightly tidy the rooms so you and your partner can return from your wedding as newlyweds 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 married life together.
