The Venue
What makes Terre Rouge different?+

Terre Rouge is a private European-inspired estate designed exclusively for elegant celebrations. Rather than a traditional reception venue, couples enjoy exclusive use of beautiful gardens, timeless architecture, open lawns for marquee receptions, stunning sunsets and feature lighting that creates an unforgettable atmosphere.

Is the venue exclusive?+

Yes. We host a maximum of two weddings per week, allowing every couple exclusive use of the estate. This also provides time for marquee and supplier bump-in the day before your wedding, with bump-out the following day.

Why do you only host two weddings each week?+

We believe every wedding deserves our complete attention. Limiting the estate to just two weddings each week allows couples exclusive access, provides ample time for supplier bump-in and bump-out, and ensures the property and gardens are presented in immaculate condition for every celebration.

How many guests can Terre Rouge accommodate?+

Terre Rouge can accommodate up to 150 guests.

Is there accommodation on-site?+

At this stage, accommodation is not available on the estate; however, we're happy to recommend nearby accommodation options.

Can we bring our own alcohol?+
