CHOOSE FROM ONE OF 4 WEDDING CEREMONY LOCATIONS
Use our charming 100-year- old heritage listed Chapel or one of our two enchanting outdoor ceremony areas – our delightful pergola lawn or waterfall garden.
CHAPEL WEDDING
Our charming, white weatherboard heritage listed chapel is over 100 years old, and was transported from Montrose to it’s current site in 1985. It features an original strained glass window, as well as the original church bells, which can be rung at the completion of your ceremony. There is traditional pew seating for 80 inside, adding an old-world feel to your ceremony. There is no charge for using the Chapel. Including standing room, the Chapel’s comfortable capacity is 110 guests.
TREETOP ROOM
The Treetop Room with its recently refurbished balcony and terrace is available as a wet weather fallback for weddings with more than 110 guests.
GARDEN WEDDINGS
We have two beautiful outdoor settings for your ceremony;
Our waterfall is a beautiful natural setting
Surrounded by tall, leafy trees, with a waterfall gurgling in the background. This area allows you and your partner to be showcased at the top of 3 stairs,where all your guests can see you clearly. This ceremony location allows for a grand entrance, with the bride arriving by walking over a bridge over the creek, and then through her guests up the red carpet to her partner. A truly special way to start your special day.
The pergola
The pergola is our second outdoor option, recently updated to astroturf, so there are no sinking heels! This outdoor area is an elegant way to start your lives together, with your alter being a natural green curtain at the top of the pergola, along with a wrought-iron signing table and chairs. For that extra special touch we can arrange for white organza sashes on the aisle chairs, white fabric draping above your guests and either a crystal chandelier or white paper lanterns scattered along the wooden beams. The extra cost for these additional decorations is $250.
Both the outdoor ceremony options have a number of white chairs for your guests, as well as ample space for your other guests to stand.
… and of course the Chapel (or the Treetop Room for weddings with more than 110 guests) is always reserved as a falback if poor weather means you have to move indoors.
