These 28 venues describe gardens, lawns or grounds on their own website. Most are in Selwyn and North Canterbury, with more in West Christchurch and on Banks Peninsula.
An outdoor wedding needs a plan for bad weather. Ask each venue what it offers if it rains or the wind picks up, and put a back-up venue on your marriage licence application, as govt.nz advises.

Questions about outdoor and garden wedding venues in Christchurch
Can we marry in a public garden instead?
Christchurch City Council takes ceremony bookings at the Botanic Gardens and Mona Vale, limited to 12 chairs and a small signing table, with no confetti or marquees.
Do outdoor venues have a wet-weather option?
Some do. A venue page shows a wet-weather option only when the venue's own website describes one, so ask every venue directly.
