Easy Weddings: Hi Amanda! Can you tell us what couples love most about hosting their wedding at Ballara Receptions?<\/h4>\n

Our couples love Ballara’s stunning grounds, with so many wonderful photo opportunities, from the gardens to the chapel to our elegant interior. They also enjoy the convenience of having everything in one place for their wedding day, including the ceremony, photoshoot, and reception.<\/p>\n

Our family-run business has been operating for more than 34 years, so couples notice the personal touches from our dedicated and friendly staff. Our menu is another highlight and has been carefully curated by our incredible chefs, who work hard to offer updated menus with an array of food options, ranging from classic favourites to newer, edgier dishes.<\/p>\n

How far in advance do you recommend booking a wedding venue?<\/h4>\n

Our books are currently open til the end of 2024. However, you can book with as much time as you would like! Your venue should be one of the first things you book in, then consider how long your vendors may need for their product to be available (i.e. how long your dress needs to be made).<\/p>\n

We can help pull weddings together in just four weeks, but we recommend booking at least twelve months ahead to allow yourself peace of mind and plan everything in a timely and enjoyable manner! We don’t want anyone stressing about how much they feel they need to have completed in a set amount of time.<\/p>\n
