Five beautiful New Zealand locations that offer a blank canvas
New Zealand’s South Island has an impressive array of blank canvases that you can personalise in your own way, we are so (so) lucky. Whether you’re choosing a location you have a special connection with (the place you got engaged or a family holiday hotspot) or the location you’ve always dreamt about.
Let your event come to life with an impressive TY Clear Marquee or Sailcloth Tent. Make the most of the clear sides and soak up the views, making memories you’ll cherish forever.
The View, Glendhu Station
The View marquee site at Glendhu Station which launched earlier this year is a secluded and elevated marquee site boasting panoramic lake and high-country views. Paired with a ceremony site situated next to the marquee site, planted with a considered horseshoe of established native plants. A popular spot for marquees of any size, from the smallest of our fleet, 5m x 10m Clear Marquees to 14m x 30m Sailcloth Tents this space allows flexibility and creates a natural journey for your guests.
Dublin Bay
Dublin Bay is quickly becoming one of Wanaka’s most iconic spots for a special event. Situated 10minutes from Wanaka, the secluded yet breathtaking surrounds of Lake Wanaka and stunning mountain ranges have guests’ jaws dropping as they pull up. The open space allows your creativity to run free, hosting a separate ceremony spot up high and container bar and toilets on site.
NZ High Country
Nestled up in the pastoral lands of Queenstown is NZ High Country. Impressive panoramic views of Lake Wakatipu set the scene for your marquee venue. Whether you’re after a Clear Roof Marquee to ensure you soak up the natural beauty of the Central Otago surrounds, or, are looking for a beautiful, soft feel with our unique Sailcloth Tents, you can build your dream aesthetic around the foundations of our TY collection.
Kumiko
Built by a Waipara wine pioneer, amongst the vineyards and bordering the notable Black Estate winery is Kumiko. Located North of Canterbury, in Omihi this untapped venue provides a generous marquee site perfect for all kinds of celebrations under the roof of a TY Marquee. Kumiko also offers a large Guest House for accommodation and adorable cabins which line the driveway.
Private Property
For ultimate privacy, your backyard (or a family member or friends) could be the perfect setting and blank canvas for a TY Marquee. Your event can be unique, polished and effortless as we can transform any site into a premier destination, fitting to reflect your special story and dream aesthetic (all we need is vehicle access and a relatively flat space!). We’ve set up marquees in some of the most remote sites and we understand the importance of having a special connection or sentimental value to your chosen location. Let us help you create something much more than event. Memories you’ll treasure now and forever.
We love working closely with couples to capture personalities and design something memorable and authentic to them. The South Island is spoilt for choice with versatile spaces and venues that offer unparalleled wedding backdrops for Clear Marquees and Sailcloth Tents. We have everything you need to transform your blank canvas into a dreamy vision including dining chairs, dining tables, cocktail and party furniture hire, bars, draping, small hire and so much more!
