Southland's Wedding Venue & Gardens

Exclusive Relaxed Naturally Beautiful

Our Wedding Venue

Exclusive. Relaxed. Naturally Beautiful.

Tucked away across 6.5 acres of established gardens, Paterson Park & Gardens offers a private, peaceful setting for couples seeking something truly personal.

Our space suits intimate, exclusive ceremonies — open skies, birdsong, and beautifully kept gardens, where your day unfolds naturally. 

With exclusive use of the grounds, you and your guests can enjoy the moment without interruption. Wander for photographs while guests unwind with nibbles and refreshments.

Garden & Park Tours

Perfect for groups

Extensive gardens, filled with rhododendrons, mature trees, hidden paths, small ponds, a creek and tranquil seating areas.

First planted by Lorraine Paterson in 1963 and recently restored by the Paterson family, the gardens carry decades of care. Towering conifers, given room to grow, create a striking contrast against the smaller flowers and rhododendrons below.

Spring and summer are especially beautiful, when the rhododendrons bloom in bursts of colour amongst the lush greenery and surrounding countryside.
