Your Dream Wedding at The Playhouse Theatre

Imagine your entire wedding day—from the heartfelt ceremony to the lively reception—all in one beautiful, convenient location. The Playhouse Theatre offers a magical and seamless experience for you and your guests.

A Picture-Perfect Ceremony

Guests will gather under the graceful shade of a weeping willow tree, awaiting your arrival. As the music begins, you’ll make your grand entrance by driving right up to our enchanting bridge, still hidden from view by beautiful flax bushes. Your guests will stand as you cross the bridge, beginning your walk toward the next chapter of your lives.

Our stunning garden provides the perfect backdrop for your photos. With a serene pond and vibrant rose bushes, you can expect fantastic blossoms in the spring, lush greenery in the summer, and a spectacular array of colors in the autumn.

You are welcome to decorate the garden and bridge to match your vision. Past couples have used everything from paper lanterns and fairy lights to elegant drapes and delicate rose petals to create a truly personalized space.

A Flawless Backup Plan

Don’t let the weather worry you. In case of rain, our Plan B option is both beautiful and unique. You can say “I do” on our restaurant’s stage, where our professional theatre lighting will create an intimate and dramatic atmosphere. Our team is expert at seamlessly transforming this ceremony area into the perfect reception room.

A Venue Exclusively Yours

Whether you have your ceremony with us or at an off-site location, the entire venue is yours for the day. We don’t open for lunch, ensuring you have 100% exclusive access from your agreed pack-in time to decorate and set up.

We encourage you to hold a wedding rehearsal to ensure everything runs smoothly. You are welcome to schedule this at any time.

We can’t wait to host you at what we believe is the best wedding venue in Nelson!
