We get pretty lucky with the people we meet in this job. Our Traditional marquee nestled perfectly amongst the trees for this beautiful couple's big day!

Seeing how magical their day turned out was such an honour. The whole day was incredible from start to finish. And your on-site team were so great to work with! Thank you for having us, Georgie & Beau.

Our Traditional Marquee is already a showstopper – but it’s the silk linings that truly take it to the next level. Soft, flowing fabric that drapes the interior, creating a romantic and luxurious atmosphere that sets the tone for unforgettable moments. What a transformation!

Take a peek inside this SQ Frame marquee — the space uniquely created for the real magic to happen!

From the moment guests step inside, they’re greeted by a space filled with warmth, energy, and room to celebrate. Abby & Hamish's setup created the perfect environment for guests to connect, celebrate, and enjoy every part of the day.

The best part? It’s not just about the design — it’s the experience we help bring to life. And when the atmosphere is this welcoming, every detail shines.

Bentwood Chairs are a timeless choice for weddings and events, and it’s easy to see why.

Their curved, elegant design lends itself beautifully to a variety of styles — from contemporary minimalism to classic romance. Inside the SQ Frame Marquee, they softened the space, added natural warmth, and brought an effortlessly refined finish to the setup.

Elegant. Timeless. Unforgettable.
They may be the words we embody here at Silke Estate — but Abby and Hamish brought them to life in the most effortless way.

From the moment the marquee was set to the last toast of the night, their day was filled with grace, warmth, and a kind of love that felt both classic and completely their own. We felt it on the day but their photos... WOW!

Thank you, Abby and Hamish, for letting us be part of something so special.

Inside the Hampton Marquee, everything looked spectacular — beautifully styled tables, warm lighting, and an atmosphere that felt both elegant and relaxed.

But it wasn’t just the setting that made this wedding special — it was the speeches. From heartfelt tears to roaring laughter and quiet moments of reflection, the words shared that night moved every single person in the room — including our staff.

We’re so grateful to be part of moments like these. We can bring the setup, the structure, and the style — but it’s you who bring the joy, the emotion, and the magic.

We just want to say a heartfelt thank you to Jack and Sophie for including us in your wedding day.

It was an absolute delight to be part of such a meaningful celebration. From the moment the Hampton Marquee was set, the atmosphere was magic — filled with joy, love, and so much laughter. The lawn games, the cocktail bar, and that perfect golden hour... unforgettable.

Wishing you both the very best in this next chapter together. Thank you again for having us.

What an absolute scorcher of a day
Sophie & Jack’s wedding brought the sunshine and the celebration energy.

Our Hampton Marquee offered the perfect elegant escape from the heat, while the lawn games and cocktail bar kept everyone mingling, laughing, and dancing well into the evening.

To Sophie & Jack — what an incredible couple, and what an even more incredible group of friends and family. This one was truly unforgettable.

If you’re dreaming of an outdoor wedding with style, shelter, and all the right touches — we’ve got you covered.

The moment before the first look, when anticipation is at its peak. Should we tell him that someone pretty darn special is right behind him?

First looks are a beautiful way to soak in the moment before saying I do. Would you do a first look on your big day?
