About
With over 35 years of experience in the food industry as a food stylist and cook book writer, I really wanted to get back to my country background, find my happy place, fortunately The Hillview was sitting there waiting for me. With the help of my family, we renovated the beautiful heritage home into what it is today. I used my style guidance and imagination on the landscaping to create a romantic and interesting garden with lots of hidden places to sit. We love it here!

Get Expert AdviceIs a one hour time gap between ceremony and canapes ok?
We are looking to have our ceremony at 3pm, and then canapes to start at 5pm, this means there will be a one hour gap from 4pm-5pm. Looking to have both the ceremony and reception at the same venue. Is it acceptable? To entertain guests, there will be a photobooth along with a few platters of snacks, and a bar tab on soft drinks and coffee/tea. Alcohol will be available at 5pm once canapes start. Or if they prefer, they can explore the venue gardens and take some photos.

Personnally I would push your ceremony back to 3.30pm and close the gap. I think that is too long to ask your guests to wait around. They expect to start and celebrate your wedding the moment you are married,not wait around for 2 hours until the bar is open.
I'm thinking about a brunch wedding.. is that absurd?
Looking at a morning wedding and to all be done and dusted by lunchtime. We have kids... is that ridiculous?
The Hillview Farmstead
It's a really lovely idea to have a brunch wedding when young family members are involved, especially in a pretty country location so that you can take in all the nice scenery around you as well. April through Autumn is the perfect time of the year for brunch weddings.

Thank you Kimberley for your review last year. Since that time, we have totally redone the ceremony area and lengthened the aisle and now have beautiful new even paving. We also have placed seating along the way for people to sit and take in the views as they meander up to the barn. Our next purchase for the New Year will be a six seated golf buggy to help those unable to move more spritely, get around the property.
