Entertaining the sunny Wairarapa as your venue of choice for your special day?
A question we often get from those looking to book the Burnside Church is how things look in the heat.
Our beautiful timber building stays pretty cool, and thanks to our window maintenance program, many of our windows open up to allow airflow.
We also have our large old trees offering shade for your guests to have a celebratory toast, or to take in the local rural views.
We’re now taking booking for Summer 2926/2027, get in touch to have our Welcome Guide sent to your inbox today.

For those of you who attended our 150th celebrations at the Burnside Church earlier this year, you’ll recall a special addition from one of our local families.

Hamish, Amelia and Liam from the Sutherland family treated our community to a bagpipe performance, which was unanimously described as an absolute delight, and a beautiful way to complete our historic ceremony.
