Austinvilla Estate Wedding Ceremonies

Depending on whether you’d prefer to have an indoor or outdoor ceremony, you’ll have the choice of two beautiful venues for your nuptials at Austinvilla Estate; The Wedding Pavilion and The Rainforest Deck. Both ceremony options come with various inclusions, such as rustic timber bench seats for your guests and an elegant signing table.

The charming Wedding Pavilion at Austinvilla Estate has an intimate feel reminiscent of a chapel, making it a wonderful option for romantic indoor ceremonies. A candlelit pathway leads up to the chapel, nestled in a secluded woodland spot surrounded by beautiful native trees. Features of the idyllic Wedding Pavilion include rustic signage, bench seats, a built-in sound system, and an antique signing table with chairs.

To make the most of Austinvilla Estate’s picturesque natural surroundings, consider hosting your ceremony outdoors on The Rainforest Deck. Situated on an expansive wooden deck overlooking the rainforest, this spectacular setting allows you to say your vows against a stunning hinterland backdrop. Ceremonies at The Rainforest Deck include a timber arbour, rustic bench seats, a farmhouse signing table with two chairs, decorative lanterns, and magical festoon lighting.

After your ceremony, there is the option to set up a pop-up bar on the Rainforest Deck so your guests can enjoy drinks and nibbles while you slip away for wedding photos on the estate. Austinvilla Estate’s wedding package also includes a selection of pre-dinner lawn games to keep your guests entertained, including giant Jenga, swing tennis, bocce, croquet and quoits.

Austinvilla Estate Wedding Receptions

Wedding receptions at Austinvilla Estate usually take place in The Homestead, a beautiful vintage-inspired space that seamlessly combines refined rustic charm with the estate’s romantic rainforest setting. Think sparkling chandeliers, exposed timber beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the hinterland.

Austinvilla Estate’s wedding package comes with everything you need for a memorable reception. This includes long timber tables, vintage wedding chairs, timber centrepieces with glass vases and candles, a present table, an easel and frame for the seating plan, a cake table and knife, and a wishing well. What’s more, there’s a spacious dancefloor area and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment with speakers throughout the venue.

When it comes to dining, you can expect gourmet catering and extensive menu options from Austinvilla Estate’s partners, Gareth Keenan Catering. Depending on your wedding style, choose from the traditional alternate drop, buffet style or shared feasting platter menus. If you’d prefer a more laidback street food vibe, the catering team can even organise pop-up food marquees and food stations with an array of options, including wood-fired pizzas and tacos. 

As dinner comes to an end and the wedding celebrations continue into the night, your guests can spill out onto the alfresco deck and party under the twinkling festoon lights. And if they work up a thirst on the dancefloor, they’ll be able to grab a drink from one of two outdoor bars. There are also plenty of vintage lounges draped with cosy sheepskin rugs for those guests who would prefer to get comfy and unwind.
