A fresh option for Canterbury weddings has launched with Staveley Co-op 1916, a beautifully restored historic building nestled in the foothills of the Southern Alps in Staveley, Mid Canterbury. Once a farmers’ dairy cooperative building producing butter and cheese, the venue has been transformed into a wedding and function centre that retains its old-world charm while offering modern comforts.
Set on a private, secluded property, the venue showcases stunning views of Mt. Somers and the surrounding alpine landscape, creating a natural backdrop for ceremonies, receptions, and special events.
Staveley Co-op 1916 allows couples to design a celebration that reflects their personal style with its versatile spaces able to accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.
Staveley Co-op 1916 is now open and taking bookings for 2026 and 2027, giving couples the opportunity to secure a truly unique and memorable wedding setting.
