CAN YOU CREATE A SMALL, INTIMATE SETTING AT YOUR VENUE?

Absolutely! We can cater for as little as yourself and your partner for your wedding.

DO WE HAVE A PREFERRED SUPPLIERS LIST?

As with any venue there are suppliers / vendors of whom we can recommend. If you would like details of any of our recommended suppliers please contact us and we will share their details with you.

CAN WE HIRE EXTERNAL SUPPLIERS / VENDORS THROUGH YOU?

You can if you like but we prefer that you deal directly with each supplier. This ensures you are booking exactly what you want and there is no room for misunderstanding. It also gives you the opportunity to negotiate the best possible price with your chosen suppliers.

HOW EARLY CAN OUR SUPPLIERS SET UP (BUMP IN)?

We only allow one function per day. This gives your suppliers much greater flexibility to set up (and pack up) at a time that fits in with their other bookings for that day.

WE REQUIRE STRICT DIETARY RESTRICTIONS FOR OUR MENU. WILL YOU STILL BE ABLE TO CATER OUR WEDDING?

9 times our of 10 the answer is yes. Having said that, when it comes to the more challenging allergy requirements we suggest they bring their own food. That way we all have piece of mind that no reaction will occur. We can cater for most allergy requirements but this must be discussed and confirmed at least 3 weeks before your event.

ARE WE ABLE TO BYO ANY DRINKS?

Lightning Hill Estate is a fully licenced venue. As part of our liquor licence NO drinks of any kind can be brought onto the property.

ARE WE ABLE TO USE OUR OWN CATERERS / FOOD TRUCKS?

Although we have not allowed couples to use external caterers / food trucks to date, I'm sure there will be the odd occasion where we may allow this.
