FAQ

Our property lay-out doesn't allow to have events onsite mixed with regular guests, hence why you'll have exclusive access to the entire property including the accommodation. This is what makes Eight Acres so unique, to have your wedding and an amazing getaway for your guests at the same time. Therefore, it is not possible to hire the property for your ceremony only.

We certainly do have our favourites! Visit our web page https://www.eightacreslakesentrance.com.au/weddingsuppliers

The property includes accommodation for up to 55 people across our 7 x 2-bedroom cottages and 5 Glamping tents:

  • 35 in cottages
  • 20 in glamping tents (if you use the day beds for two people)

You'll have access to the property from 10am on arrival day and until 12pm on departure day. This gives you time for your hire equipment to arrive and be set up, as well as time after the event for everything to be packed down and picked up.

The Wedshed includes a basic set up with 8 wine barrels and 16 metal bar stools. Any other required furniture can be hired through our recommended vendors.

As per council noise regulations; all amplified music must be turned off by 10:30pm on Friday, Saturday or the day immediately before a public holiday and 10pm on weekdays.

That doesn't mean the party has to finish as you can pick a designated spot on the property to party on with your guests staying onsite, just no amplified music.

Eight Acres was our dream wedding venue - we honestly didn’t think we’d ever be able to actually afford the vision we held for our wedding - but Eight Acres had everything we’d ever dreamed of (right down the the glamping tents for guests) in a price range we couldn’t believe it! We have been together for 14 years this year, and so men being a girl started planning our wedding from the age of 16… id seen it all in my head - the festival wedding on a big beautiful farm property with glamping tents a wedding shed, surrounded by nature on a hot summers day! The love and care the owners give is another added bonus. It was an actual dream and this day lives rent free in my head forever. I could not recommend this for your dream day enough!
