Erskine Chapel is considered to be New Zealand’s finest French Gothic-style chapel, influenced heavily by a chapel in Alsace Lorraine, France. It features a soaring vaulted ceiling, an interior of Italian Carrara marble and glorious acoustics – considered by many to be the best in the Southern hemisphere.

This light and airy space of undeniable beauty holds exceptional architectural, historical and social significance and as such, is listed as a Heritage New Zealand Category 1 Historic Place and recognised in the Wellington City Council Heritage List.

When you hire Erskine Chapel, you receive exclusive use of the entire venue - the chapel, the grand ballroom, the kitchen facilities, the foyers, the upstairs function room and the mezzanine - ensuring the ultimate in flexibility. Guests are limited to 100 (plus staff), and we have a list of preferred partners who are familiar with the venue. Half day/Full Day/Evening/Wedding rates are available.

Erskine Chapel is a 'dry hire' venue - meaning you bring in all the furniture required for your event. We can provide recommended contacts for all event requirements. Your caterer will need to provide any liquor licensing requirements, and you are required to adhere to our traffic management plan.
