➵ YOUR WEDDING WEEKEND AT DARK HORSE

On the 25 acre property you’ll discover THE STABLES (RECEPTION VENUE), THE BARN HOUSE (ACCOMMODATION) and THE OLD CELLAR DOOR all surrounded by manicured lawns and vineyards. These stunning indoor and outdoor spaces leave you spoilt for choice for your wedding celebrations.


YOUR CEREMONY

With multiple stunning backdrops to choose from, you can decide where to exchange your vows. Maybe you’ll choose the grand barn doors, a wedding arch set up on the manicured lawns, under the blossoming pear trees or entwined in the vines. The Barnhouse or the Stables can easily serve as a wet weather option.

COCKTAIL HOUR

Once your vows have been exchanged, invite your guests to enjoy drinks and canapés on the lawns as the sun sets spectacularly as your backdrop. A popular spot is the lawn near The Barn House using the grand marble bar to service your drinks and canapés. A beautiful ambience will be created using our outdoor furniture, market umbrellas and lawn games. The perfect setting to kick off the celebrations before the main event.
