Do it your way

A DIY wedding venue, in the honest sense

Plenty of venues say “DIY” and then hand you a list of approved suppliers. Here you genuinely bring your own caterer, food truck, decorator, cake or celebrant, with no approved supplier list. Caterers do need a current commercial food licence, and the bar is ours since the venue is licensed. We keep the bar, the grounds and the gear, and leave the rest to you. It is what keeps a country wedding here affordable.

  • Any licensed caterer or food truck
  • Licensed bar, staffed by us
  • Tables, chairs and equipment on site
  • Decorate it however you like
  • Wet weather plan included
  • Photo spots all over the property
