Planning a garden wedding in Mid Canterbury often means looking for a space that balances manicured natural beauty with reliable, luxury backup options. You want a location that offers high-end romantic charm, absolute privacy for your guests, and structural versatility to comfortably handle changing weather elements.

That is exactly why hosting a Trotts Garden wedding has become one of the premier event destinations in the South Island.

Located at 371 Racecourse Road just on the outskirts of Ashburton, this four-hectare property is designated as a New Zealand Garden of International Significance. Over nearly four decades, it has been transformed from a bare paddock into a stunning world-class botanical paradise. Now run by owners Rob and Janene Riedstra, the estate operates as Brantwood Weddings & Events, offering full-service planning, an onsite kitchen, and incredible custom function spaces.

As a fine art wedding photography and videography team, stepping onto the grounds for a Trotts Garden wedding is an unparalleled experience. The pristine, segmented garden rooms, manicured borders, and historic architecture provide endless clean visual lines that make your heirloom gallery look like a high-end design magazine.
