Wow factor
If getting married at a stately old bluestone homestead set in 70 acres of manicured lawns and gardens with grandstand views of the volcanic Grampian Ranges isn't enough, what about a hand-crafted menu from one of the world's top chefs and wines and champagnes from one of Australia's most extensive cellars?
Need to know
Wedding packages are designed in conjunction with head chef Dan Hunter and dedicated weddings co-ordinator, Conchi Batson. A number of different venues are available (as well as marquees), and, with accommodation for up to 150 guests (not all of it in our recommended Mountain View Rooms), wedding parties can spill over into the night before and the day after for bride and groom and guests alike. The best entertainment, photographer, wedding cake and flower providers can also be sourced. Guests can be flown to nearby Hamilton or arrive by helicopter on the lawn.
Inspiration
This is flowers in the food territory, so go for broke on a multi-course menu and your guests will remember your wedding as long as you do. Embrace the country charm of it all too and have your pictures taken by the ancient red gums down by the creek.
