OVERVIEW

Half Acre - The Urban Oasis

Picture this: You walk into a space and immediately think, "Oh. This is it!" That's Half Acre. 

Industrial bones softened by trailing greenery and natural timber. Clean lines that frame your celebration without overwhelming it.

Here's what we've learned about weddings: couples want a space that feels both elevated and relaxed. They want their guests to feel like they're part of something special, but not stuffy. They want beauty that doesn't require a complicated explanation. Half Acre delivers all of this, effortlessly.

The food tells a story too. It speaks the language of the seasons with unmistakable Food & Desire creativity and confidence.  It's familiar food made extraordinary, the kind that sparks conversation and creates those "remember when we had that incredible..." moments years later.

The truth is, they understand something important: your wedding isn't just an event. It's the beginning of your shared story. And at HalfAcre, they create the perfect setting for that story to unfold naturally and unforgettably

Half Acre was the perfect venue for our wedding, and had both our ceremony and reception in the glasshouse. We enjoyed having the greenery of the courtyard for photos and fresh air, with a semi separate bar area for the dance floor. All the staff we communicated with were fantastic, and on the day everyone was friendly yet professional. It was also helpful having smaller details such as candles included, and the space really speaks for itself so you can save money on additional decor. Could not recommend them more!

Great venue, food and staff, residential zoning means music volume is heavily controlled which is annoying if you have any live music.
