Petit Weddings

A Poachers Petit Wedding provides the opportunity for couples to make their love formal, in a beautiful, relaxed country setting with their closest friends & family.

What is a Poachers Petit Wedding?
A casual, less formal celebration that provides you with a private space for a ceremony and a celebration in Poachers’ Restaurant after you exchange your vows, without all of the add-ons that can quickly become costly (photography, videography, musicians, florists and stylists).

The focus is on you and your partner celebrating with your loved ones.

When can the wedding be held?
The wedding ceremony and lunch can be held on a Thursday or Friday during Poachers’ regular business hours, with lunch service from 11:30 AM.

How many people can I invite?
In keeping it “petit” we recommend up to 40 guests, which fit perfectly in the restaurant’s main dining room. Or if you’d prefer an elopement style celebration, as few as yourself, your partner, witnesses and celebrant.

Where will the ceremony take place?
Your intimate ceremony can take place on our beautiful Homestead Lawn or in the Restaurant Gardens. You will have this space for up to 1 hour, with champagne & canapés (optional) served once the formalities have finished (vows are exchanged, signing of paperwork).

There is a grounds hire fee which covers the ceremony setup and access to Poachers’ gardens and property for photos before and after the ceremony. The pricing is tiered and dependent on the number of guests attending. A smaller wedding = a smaller fee.

The celebration lunch with family and friends.
Enjoy our seasonal $88* per person Chef’s Tasting Menu in the restaurant.
There is a drinks package or drinks on consumption available as well as Poachers Vineyard wine and non-alcoholic beverage pairing.

Children 12 years and under have a lovely main and dessert for $30 per person.

*Price subject to change and charged as per the restaurant lunch pricing at the time of the event.
