Milton St Substation

Step through the speakeasy green doors into Christchurch’s best-kept-secret and celebrate in EPIC fashion.

The Substation combines industrial charm & modern romance, is an important part of Christchurch history and shows resilient architectural brilliance. Located in the City, Milton St Substation is never far from the action, yet private enough for intimate Weddings and Engagement Parties.

The interior spaces boast heritage-filled character and engineering prowess to offer you a venue built for all seasons. Walk into the lobby/ bar area complete with the faux green wall, a moody ground floor room perfect for ceremonies & entertainment and a large north-facing mezzanine for romantic, light and open ceremonies and seated dining.

The connectivity & flow of The Substation doesn’t stop there. There is two-way access to our suntrap balcony and open courtyard. Caterers often make use of these outdoor areas adding to the relaxed afternoon & alluring festoon-lit evening atmosphere.

Your venue hire includes our dedicated Venue Manager onsite to assist, various furniture & items and arguably the most relaxed venue approach. Decorate, cater, furnish and entertain in a manner as unique as your love.

We encourage you to continue the fun well into the night while benefiting from our early setup access and next day pack-down. Cleaning after your event is so last year, so we always provide professional after-event cleaning inclusive in the venue hire price.
