Reviews of The Old Church, Weddings and Functions
J. W.We had our wedding at The Old Church in November 2021.
From the moment we made contact with The Old Church, James and the team were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable on creating a smooth day. Leading up to the wedding, James was helpful, flexible, and had prompt and professional communication.
On the day, James and the team ensured that all vendors were on the same page and we knew we could put our trust with them. The venue is absolutely stunning, the guests loved the uniqueness of the venue. and all different spaces to celebrate. The food was absolutely divine, we had so many compliments on how delicious the food was, and they adapted really well to dietary requirements.
The villa... Oh my gosh. The perfect place for the bridal party to get ready and made for some absolutely stunning photos. We had a wedding brunch at the villa the following day and it was such a special and beautiful space to enjoy. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time here. We felt extremely special and taken care of the entire time. Thank you so much, our day was amazing. Emma and Jed.
A. W.Absolutely beautiful venue and amazing staff! James and Ange made the day so special. Had the best day celebrating my Sister and Brother in Laws wedding. Food was incredible - The Lamb Rack was delicious!
T. G.A magical venue and the food outstanding. The team at Ortons/The Old Church are absolutely flawless especially Ange, James and Sarah. Amazing wedding, thanks guys!
L. W.Wow where to start. What a superb venue.

R.Such a beautiful wedding venue, always immaculate!
K. D. C.Fantastic venue for our wedding March 2021. Ortons did a superb job to guide us through the process of planning our wedding day from the rehearsal, the ceremony itself through to the reception. The catering was fantastic, event management very well organised and efficient and also very flexible as the weather was a bit dicey leading into the big day. The venue itself is spectacular. It was the DREAM day and we couldn't have pulled it off without the venue, or the Ortons team. Highly recommended. Thank you so much to James and his finely tuned team for making my vision a reality!
E. C.Such a fantastic venue. Very few locations can pull off grand and intimate at the same time. Ortons' catering managed our huge formal event of 140 people with aplomb. The 3 course meal was delivered with precision and warmth from the staff. An absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process from selecting the seasonal menu to facilitating the entertainment. Highly recommended.
L.Great venue, great staff, great day, great wedding.
S.Amazing venue. The staff were fantastic, their event management was 5 star. Great food, great venue, great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.
D. P.Uniquely beautiful venue. Once a traditional church, this historic building now has a little bit of funk. A huge chandelier takes center stage and lovely gardens surrounded by vines frame the outlook. The little decor touches in the church itself makes this place a bit special. Pity they don't operate a restaurant here anymore but if you're planning an event this is a very cool place for it.
B. W.We chose the Old Church for my son's wedding and we had a most delightful day. The venue is gorgeous, the food was great and the team made sure that all went smoothly. Jacinda and Moira were so helpful making all the arrangements - if you want to have a very special day/ celebrationin a very special place, then this is the best venue to choose.
A. T.Great place for a group venue. Great indoor / outdoor areas. Food catered for large group was tasty and plentiful.
C. H.We attended the Art Deco function at your beautiful on Saturday 21 February. We attended the same event last year and would have rated it an 8+ we had a fabulous night. Unfortunately we did not have the same experience this year. While the service and staff were lovely it was not the fine dining experience that we had in 2014. The food was bitterly disappointing. We paid $100.00 each for our tickets and had expected so much more. There were 20 in our party and none of us enjoyed our meals and over half of the group sent there mains back. We were very disappointed.
instead extra tables in to make more money. It certainly did not add to the experience.

S. Y.A large boarding and day school was built on the Taradale side of the church in 1872 and this flourished for many years. It was intended to be a boys equivalent of St Joseph's Maori Girls' College but gradually became a co-educational primary day school which was later staffed by the Sisters of St Joseph and the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions. Settler numbers were growing in Meeanee so in October 1874 a contract was let to enlarge the church. The existing church was cut in two and a transept placed between the two parts. The entrance was moved around to the east of the new section. The additions cost 626 pounds. Mass was held each Sunday at 11am with Vespers on Sunday evenings at 7pm. A large new residence for the priests and brothers was built in 1880 on the Meeanee side of the church. This building was later converted to become a seminary for the training of priests and because of repeated floods was moved to the Greenmeadows hill in 1910 where it still functions today as the Mission Estate Winery. With the arrival of more priests and students at the Scholasticate, or seminary, the church needed to be enlarged once again in 1892. Robert Lamb was the architect and Mr Chegwidden was the contractor. The building was lengthened to 75 ft and widened to 46 ft. The old sanctuary became the vestry and the nave was enlarged to 50ft by 37ft and was 30ft high. It was divided from the aisles by pillars of rimu with arches filled with ornamental traceries. The gallery for the choir was completely new. The building was over six times larger than the former church. There was a grand opening by Archbishop Redwood in December 1892 which was reported extensively in the local newspaper.
