Our locations create dramatic and memorable photographs of the moment you say 'I do' that you can treasure for a lifetime.

Reception
Our riverfront Lower Murray Inn provides a sensations reception space for up to 200, which you can use as a blank canvas to create the reception of your dreams.

Packages
Let us take some of the pressure off planning and organising your big day by working with our events team on an onsite inclusive package. Guests don't need to shift between locations or worry about transport between ceremony and reception when you select a Pioneer Settlement package. Guests will be able to walk between locations while you take advantage of Pioneer Settlements rustic charm for photography, or treat you and your guests to a Private PS PYAP charter along the Murray River a popular alternative to a bombinaire for many guests.
