The perfect day
The Vineyard is simply perfect. We knew we wanted to have our Wedding here because of the luxurious, relaxing environment and the delicious food and impeccable service, but most of all, the attention to detail and little personal touches that make them unique. Nicole and her team went out of their way to make sure we had the most amazing day- no ask was too big, and no task impossible. They were patient, attentive, well informed and extremely dedicated. Their experience hosting weddings and other events really came through and they were able to provide us with useful advise throughout and their list of recommended suppliers was a great starting point too! For anyone stressed about planning, having a reliable, experienced and well informed team like the team at the Vineyard really makes life much easier! On the day itself, we had many guests, both local and from overseas, and the team ensured everyone’s stay was enjoyable and seamless. Many are planning their return already! Everything was so well organised and ran effortlessly. We cannot recommend the Vineyard enough! It truly is an amazing all round venue with beautiful surroundings, delicious food and wine and the most dedicated team who just want to make the day perfect. We cannot thank you enough.

Beyond all expectations
On the weekend of August 12th, the Vineyard provided us with the most memorable experience. You don't get that very special feeling without an incredible venue, matched with planning, quality food & beverages - and perfect execution on the day. The whole team, with their attention to detail, created a sense of quiet confidence and ended up astonishing our guests. We used all of their facilities and the space was perfect for 120 guess. In the words of one of them "the Vineyard did you proud and delivered a fine dining experience" We wanted to use the best of local food and ingredients. The team built a custom menu, including local English "All Angels" Sparkling wine. What a surprise - and a hit too!!! We were not the only ones who felt it set a new standard for weddings.
Response from the venue
Dear Ed and Debi, You truly had the full Vineyard experience with us for your wedding day and what a pleasure it was to host. The feedback from both you and your guests is exactly why our team strive to deliver this everyday and we are so pleased we were able to make your day special. We look forward to welcoming you through the doors for many more years to come.

A wonderfully warm and efficient team
We felt so lucky to have the warm and efficient team at the Vineyard take care of our wedding day. We had a very small wedding party but the team treated the whole affair as though it was for a much bigger group, and they were wonderfully attentive beforehand and on the day. We felt very welcomed, and the friendliness and flexibility of the team was truly fabulous.

The most amazing venue with superb service
I cannot thank the Vineyard enough for the most wonderful of weddings. We visited several 4 and 5 star venues to hold our intimate personal wedding. First impressions are important and sometimes the smallest of things make all the difference. To start the Vineyard was the only venue to offer us complementary tea or coffee during our initial visit. This told us immediately that our interest was important to them and a clear sign of the excellent service to come.... Another thing that impressed us, for a 5 star hotel, it didn't feel pretentious as some do, it was just relaxed elegance and gave the impression of a venue where our guests whom are all from different backgrounds would feel relaxed and at ease. The Vineyard is stunning, due to Covid it was really important to us that people felt safe. Apart from the atmosphere and decor both of which were amazing we loved the fact we had our own bar area with separate bathroom facilities to utilise adjoining the main function room that doubled up for the ceremony and wedding breakfast. From the bar area there are also double doors that lead out to our own private patio space so it just flows so wonderfully well with our own space away from other hotel guests, something most of the venues could not match. The main function room is beautiful. The inside space is especially impressive, the walkway from the main reception over a glass suspended floor above the cellar with its lighting is outstanding and creates such an impressive welcome to your guest's, it is beyond a wow factor. The huge painting on the back wall in of the bar adds to the impressive setting, I can honestly say the inside space is street's ahead of the other venues we viewed and what with our weather being so unreliable the inside space was far more a priority for us. Service.... well what can I say, our wedding was postponed because of lock-down but this was no trouble for the hotel, they were so so accommodating. Because at the point of our marriage we had not seen many of our family and friends for considerable time due to Covid, because we had family travelling from overseas it was so vitally important that this would be everyone's day. I am both very fussy with a keen attention to detail and also super organised, nothing was too much trouble for the Vineyard. Nicole the wedding and events manager is an absolute diamond, nothing was too much trouble and every request was accommodated. Both Nicole and her team were extremely responsive and so keen to deliver our dream wedding and deliver our requirements whilst assisting with suggestions. The attention to detail and ensuring that at no point throughout did we ever feel stressed. Working with other suppliers like our florists and pianist and dealing with the logistics. Working with the head chef and sommelier to create a perfect meal with the most amazing wine's. We had such an amazing relaxed wedding and all our guests commented on how incredible the day was. People commenting on how they had never been to a wedding like this, how this was the best food they had been served at any wedding and how incredible the venue and service was. We wanted a memorable intimate personal wedding that gave to everyone especially with the hardships of Covid and with the Vineyards efforts we succeeded. We cannot thank Nicole, her team and the Vineyard enough for working hard to create the most memorable amazing day, the best day of our lives. Thank you so very much.
