The Barn or the Open Air

The rustic timber barn gives you a warm indoor reception with a dancefloor, and the lawns and jacaranda gardens set long tables under lanterns and stars.

With indoor and outdoor spaces on the one estate, the party is never hostage to the forecast: every package carries a wet-weather contingency plan.

See both dressed for the day at our Wedding Expo & Open Day on Sunday 22 November, free to attend.

Fed by Our Own Kitchen

Our Head Chef and his in-house team cook and serve on the day, from canapés to plated dinners and relaxed feasting tables, so the kitchen and the venue are never two companies meeting on the morning.

The styles and prices are below, and every menu is tailored with you.

Ceremony and Reception in One Place

Say your vows at one of the ceremony spots a few minutes' walk away, drift into a cocktail hour on the lawn, and sit down to dinner without a single guest getting back in a car.

Every package pairs a ceremony spot with a reception space, from an elopement toast to a full celebration, and an event coordinator runs the day on the ground.
