Ekhidna has an amazing view of their vineyard and has a beautiful cellar door and restaurant we used for our wedding. They also printed us menus, welcome sign and seating chart which was a bonus!

When we first visited the site and spoke with the staff they were so friendly and helpful with trying to meet our needs and help in any way they could to make our wedding day a success. Erin the Event Manager, is the most amazing, considerate and talented coordinator we have ever met. From the location setting, setting up and decorating the alter for our ceremony, nothing was too much trouble. The team worked so hard to make everything perfect and they took so much pressure and stress off of us leading up to the day and on the day. They helped design posters, table cards, decorations and set them up perfectly. The venue itself is so beautiful, with vineyards all around, the Willunga Hills as the backdrop and beautiful lawns and gardens for our guests to mingle. I cannot emphasise how perfect this venue is for a wedding. Erin is an amazing Host and Coordinator. When it came to our wedding, she was kind, patient and caring and takes enormous pride in making your day perfect. For us it felt like we were meeting and working with a dear friend and not just a business owner. Erin made sure we had all the information we needed and helped us through the whole process and went out of her way to make it work for us and our guests. Her kind manner is reflected in the staff that she manages as they love working there and we felt like family when ever we went there to talk through plans or had any questions. My wife and I are so very grateful for everything she did for us and the great memories she helped create The staff at Ekhidna are the best I have ever met. They are kind, considerate and will always go the extra mile to help with any issue. For our wedding, we had several guests with severe food intolerances/allergies and the catering staff were more than happy to work with us to ensure they were catered for and the food was exceptional. From the organisation, setting up for the ceremony and the reception to the quality of the food, wine and service, they were incredible and truly amazing.
