Wedding Toolkit

Where can I have my wedding ceremony?+–

We have several stunning options for your ceremony. Choose from our dedicated Courtyard or the deck, terrace or balcony attached to your reception space. We also offer ceremony-only packages, ideal for couples after a beautiful and convenient celebration. Each ceremony space includes guest chairs, a welcome sign, registry table and water station. Want to elevate the experience? Add sparkling wine and beers on arrival, served from our beautiful bar cart. And of course your four-legged friends are welcome at your ceremony too.

Can we have photos taken in the parklands?+–

Absolutely! When you book both your ceremony and reception with us, you’re welcome to take advantage of our lush parklands and skyline views for photos. We also offer golf cart hire to help you move around the grounds for photos – complete with a licensed driver, champagne, and a grazing platter!

What can my guests do in the time between our ceremony and reception?+–

We offer 1–2 hour pre-reception packages on the adjoining terrace space, designed as the perfect cocktail hour while you head off for photos. Your guests can enjoy canapés, arrival drinks, or a beverage package extension in a relaxed and stylish setting. These options are flexible to suit your preferences and ensure your guests are well taken care of between events.

Will someone help us plan the day?+–

Absolutely! Every couple is paired with a dedicated wedding planner to guide you through the entire planning journey – from your first tasting to your final guest list. You’ll also have a functions coordinator on the day to make sure everything runs smoothly so you can just relax and enjoy the moment.

Do you offer all-inclusive packages?+–

We do! Our All-Inclusive Wedding Package covers everything from venue hire, styling and catering to your celebrant, DJ, florals, photographer, and even light-up letters. It’s the perfect stress-free solution for weddings of 55+ guests.

Do you have any special offers for larger weddings?+–

There sure are. If you’re booking a reception for 80 guests or more on a 5-hour beverage package, you’ll receive two complimentary tasting tickets plus a bonus gift. Take your pick from a range of great options – from a styling voucher or bar tab, to a DJ discount or even overnight accommodation.

What AV is included?+–

All wedding packages include a lectern, microphone, and in-house audio system suitable for background music, MCs and speeches. You’ll also have access to a built-in projector and screen in venues where available.

Do you include any styling and décor?+–

We absolutely do. All of our wedding packages include thoughtfully curated styling elements, such as fresh white linen, your choice of coloured napkins, elegant candlelit centrepieces, printed menus, bouquet vases, table numbers, and a silver cake knife. You’ll also receive a bridal party table, cake table, and gift table, along with a welcome sign and choice of wishing well. For anything beyond this, we work closely with a trusted network of premium suppliers who can assist with custom florals, theming, lighting, entertainment and more to bring your full vision to life.

Can we bring in our own suppliers?+–

Absolutely! You’re more than welcome to. Just keep in mind that while you can bring in your own suppliers, some services – like DJs, stylists and photographers – are already included in our packages or available at special rates through our trusted partners. We recommend speaking with your planner to explore the options and work together on bringing your vision to life.

Can we bring in cultural or religious traditions?+–

Of course. We’re proud to celebrate all cultures and traditions, and our team is here to support you in including any special rituals that are meaningful to you — whether that’s a tea ceremony, traditional blessing, or something unique to your background. Just chat with your planner and we’ll help make it happen respectfully and seamlessly.

Do you cater for dietary requirements and children’s meals?+–

Yes! We cater for a range of dietary requirements—please share any guest needs with your wedding planner ahead of time. Children’s meals are $40pp (ages 3–12) and include a main, dessert, unlimited soft drinks and an activity pack. Children over 12 are served the adult meal (excluding alcohol, with soft drinks provided).

Are there facilities for elderly or mobility-impaired guests?+–

Yes, all of our venues are wheelchair accessible, and we have disabled parking available. Let your planner know in advance so we can assist with access requirements.

What happens if it rains?+–

We’ve got you covered – literally! Our outdoor wedding ceremonies come with a wet weather back-up option onsite, so you can relax knowing there will be a beautiful plan in place no matter what the forecast says.

Is there a minimum guest number or spend?+–

Minimum spends apply depending on the day of the week and preferred space (E.g Friday and Saturdays are our peak days, so Sunday-Thursday’s we can offer reduced off-peak rates!). Our Wedding Sales Team can advise what minimums apply to your event vision and guest count.
