Lismore House · the wedding party
Your wedding HQ
in Martinborough
Everyone under one roof
Marrying somewhere else in Martinborough? Make Lismore your home base — get ready in the homestead, photographs in the grounds, and everyone who matters under one roof, with the option to host the ‘recovery’ BBQ the next day.
How a Lismore wedding usually runs
Three or four nights. The shape below is the four-night version, which is how most couples use it.
Arrival
Settle in from 3pm. The House, the Barn and the grounds are yours. Relax — the next days are busy.
It's getting real
Check flowers, last checks on the dress and the venue. People start to arrive.
The big day
Pre-wedding pics in the grounds. One of you gets ready at the Barn, the other at the House. Leave for the venue as best friends — return after the best day ever as man and wife.
Married at last!
A little lie-in, breakfast at the Barn. A long recovery lunch on the estate, or in the village five minutes away. Friends and family drift in to wish you well.
05 — a leisurely breakfast, with 11am check-out.
Why it works
What the homestead gives you
- Sleeps 8–12, four ensuites — the wedding party in one place, with no long queue for a mirror
- Getting-ready rooms with real light — five upstairs bedrooms, plus the Barn for whoever wants to be away from the noise
- Photographs on the estate — the gardens, the pond, the deck and the vines, before you've gone anywhere
- Formal dining for twelve for the rehearsal dinner or the night-before
- Five minutes to Martinborough square, an hour from Wellington
- Pool, spa and petanque court for the day after
- Exclusive use — no other guests on the estate
