At the end of July 2025, John and Nikki celebrated a beautiful winter wedding, surrounded by the warmth of family, friends and heartfelt moments. Although the day offered gentle glimpses of sunshine, the winter chill invited the ceremony indoors, where our double-glazed, insulated venue provided a cosy welcoming setting. With the heat pumps humming and every detail in place, we were delighted to welcome 60 loved ones to share in this special occasion.

Omarino’s white arch and customised florals, with soft pink and peach highlights, created a romantic backdrop for the couple as they began this next chapter together.

Following their mid-morning ceremony, John and Nikki stepped into the garden spaces for photographs, beautifully captured by Ervil So Photography.

Guests were officially welcomed by the MC, before raising a toast and enjoying a relaxed buffet lunch reception.

As the afternoon unfolded, speeches gave way to the uplifting sound of a choir performance, followed by a few light-hearted games, the couple’s first dance, and the cutting of their wedding cake.

In the late afternoon, John and Nikki farewelled their guests and shared their favours, bringing a memorable celebration to a graceful close.

We are truly grateful for the opportunity to have hosted such a special day, and we wish John and Nikki every happiness as they begin their future together.

Last winter, we were delighted to host a wonderful variety of celebrations at our venue. These included a 50th birthday, a ceremony and cocktail-style micro wedding for 35 guests, three weddings for 55 to 60 guests and a corporate ball for 130 guests.

Sam and Dion celebrated in mid-June with 35 of their closest family and friends on an early, cool winter afternoon. Due to the weather conditions, the window side of the venue was beautifully set for an intimate ceremony. This was followed by celebratory beverages and platters, a few heartfelt speeches and the cutting of the cake.

A number of special moments were captured by Yay Grace Photography. Many thanks for sharing these beautiful memories with us. We are also grateful for your kind words.

“We had the most incredible experience celebrating our wedding here! From the ceremony (weather leading up to the day was terrible so we had an inside ceremony) to the cocktail-style reception. Everything was seamless and beautifully executed. Jane went above and beyond to make sure every detail reflected our vision. The setup was stunning, the atmosphere relaxed and elegant and the service was exceptional throughout the day.

Our guests raved about the ambience and how everything flowed.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a venue that truly cares!”

We are truly thankful to have been part of your special day and to have our venue hold a small piece of your love story. Wishing you both a future filled with happiness, laughter and many more unforgettable celebrations.

Just over a year ago, in the soft heart of mid-April, Lavender and Tim gathered at Omarino Estate to celebrate the beginning of their forever. Beneath the beloved “plum tree” in the gentle light of the early afternoon and in the presence of our Lord, they pledged their love and devotion to one another.

Rogue Florals - Flower Truck provided the stunning bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids, along with the florals adorning the ceremony backdrop: a cross.

Watching on with unconditional love and quiet loyalty was Zalia, their cherished furry family member, who was there to share in the joy of the day.

After the nuptials, the couple and their guests wandered through the garden areas for group photographs, beautifully captured by . While Lavender and Tim and their bridal party spent time exploring the estate’s garden spaces, family and friends made their way to the pergola and outdoor garden bar for a joyful “Paint n Sip”.

There guests enjoyed light refreshments and took part in a heartfelt surprise organised by the groom’s sister and father: each person painted a square that would later be joined together to create a special artwork for the couple.

A stunning grazing table lovingly prepared by family, along with lawn games and pétanque, kept everyone happily entertained throughout the afternoon.

The reception tables were dressed with long, flowing rust runners, layered with multiple wood rounds, glass bottles and a beautiful mix of dried and fresh country blooms in shades of peach, pink, cream and red. Rust-coloured knotted napkins and individual mini wood-round place names completed the warm, rustic look.

Country Feasts Catering then served a sumptuous, hearty feast, followed by heartfelt speeches, the cutting of the cake and cupcakes and a few light-hearted wedding games. As evening settled in, the first dance opened the way for plenty of dancing, laughter, and mingling, carrying the celebration beautifully through to its close.

On the enchanting afternoon of 15th March 2025, a beautiful celebration of love unfolded for Tyler and Donald, surrounded by 50 of their closest family and friends. As the day softened into late afternoon, golden sunlight danced through the trees, creating the most magical setting for the couple to say “I Do”.

Following the ceremony, Tyler and Donald slipped away with their Bridal Party where Cassandra Kovacs Photography beautifully captured a collection of moments they will treasure forever.

Meanwhile, guests gathered beneath our rustic pergola, savouring mouth-watering canapés by The Smokin' Que, sharing laughter, cold beverages, provided by Omarino and a few spirited games of pétanque.

As the sun began its gentle descent, everyone was welcomed into the main reception space to celebrate the newlyweds. Embracing a relaxed country charm, with a timeless palette of green and white, Tyler and Donald selected burlap runners, rustic brick moulds and lush green and white florals from Omarino’s curated collection.

The couple warmly welcomed their guests and expressed their heartfelt thanks for being part of such a special day. A generous feast by The Smokin Que followed, bringing everyone together in true celebration.

In a joyful twist, rather than a traditional first dance, all guests were invited to join in a lively line dance, setting the perfect tone for the evening ahead. Vito from Motiv Entertainment then filled the night with music, laughter and dancing as the celebration continued into late evening.

Congratulations Tyler and Donald. It was a true privilege and honour to host your unforgettable day. We wish you both a future filled with endless happiness, laughter and love.

On 8th March 2025, after a heartfelt ceremony beneath a decorative floral arch (crafted by Flourish Events), Daphne and Titus welcomed 140 guests who mingled and offered congratulations in the picturesque garden.

Dear White Productions whisked the couple away for some further special moments, while guests gathered beneath the rustic pergola for a relaxed cocktail-style function, creating an atmosphere of warmth and celebration. Crisp & Vale Catering delighted everyone with expertly crafted canapés and finger foods, while Omarino ensured every glass was filled with thirst-quenching beverages.

Laughter and conversation floated through the air until the couple returned to ceremoniously cut their magnificent wedding cake from The Sugar Room - a “sweet promise”, beautifully framed by the pétanque court and the sweeping wedding lawn.

The festivities featured heartfelt speeches, bringing happy tears and plenty of cheers to those gathered. Afterwards, refreshing gelato ice cream offered an extra treat.

The gentle rhythms of pétanque and the soft strains of background music lingered, weaving joy through the afternoon, until, in the golden light of late day, everyone bid their fond farewells.

These versatile spaces invite you to create unforgettable moments, tailored to the unique atmosphere and scale of your occasion.
