About
"Nothing is more special to me than assisting my couples in having the most incredible wedding day! I love the relationships I build with them, the way I help to ease their stress and guiding them through the process step by step. Communication is key, so I am always available and super responsive to their questions. This allows them to build trust in me to take care of everything on the day and ensure the most magical day for them that they can cherish and enjoy with their loved ones"

Being in the southwest, the weather can be unpredictable. We have a perfect Plan B, which is our Lakeside Function Centre. We can move your ceremony either inside or outside under our veranda.
The pre-reception is held along our veranda /outdoor area at the function centre with beverages served from our outside bar. Usual start time is 5:00pm however this is flexible and is usually determined by your ceremony start and end time. If you choose to have your entire wedding reception outside, then we will continue to serve from our outdoor bar for the duration of the evening.
EWR sets up 48 White gladiator chairs & a small white signing table with matching chairs. If you choose to use our arbour, we will set that up as well.
We do not have an inhouse catering team therefore you are welcome to engage a caterer of your choosing. We have a list of caterers we can recommend.
Yes, the function centre opens at 8am. If we do not have a wedding or event the day prior, you can request access to the function centre on that day. The function centre closes at 5pm on non-event days.
Beverage service concludes at 11:30pm sharp & the function centre shuts at 11:59pm.
Last song must conclude by 11:45pm.
We setup our tables, tablecloths, napkins, glassware, crockery, cutlery, gift table, cake barrel & speech barrel. As well as any items hired from EWR such as festoon lights.
EWR can setup items such as your wishing well, neon sign, favours, seating chart, menus and name cards.
We do not setup florals/greenery or any items that need to be put together/assembled.
We offer three beverage packages: BYO, Premium or Ultimate.
If you elect one of our beverage packages, we order all of your chosen beverages for you. Please note you will not be given any left over beverages post wedding.
If you choose our BYO option, you are to source your own beverages. Please note this does not mean your guests are allowed to bring their own beverages. You will need to arrange delivery of your beverages for the day prior to your wedding ( beverages can be delivered the day of if they are already chilled). Your beverages will need to be stacked in our cool room. From here EWR staff will stock both the inside and outside bars and will serve you and your guests for the entirety of your beverage service hours.
Both the BYO Package and EWR Packages are for a 6.5 hour duration. Additional hours can be added for a cost, please discuss with the function team.
As the function center area is in our licensed area, our functions team will serve all your beverages. For cocktail style weddings, this includes an indoor, outdoor bar and for sit down packages, table service.
Accomodation is optional, however, we believe it's a big perk to hosting your wedding with us and allows you and your guests to enjoy the day and evening without worrying about coaches, travel etc.
