A venue that brings people together
For Mandy Barnes, owner of Kalinya Estate, helping couples bring their wedding vision to life is about more than aesthetics and table arrangements; it’s about connection. Maybe it’s her background as a clinical psychologist but there’s something about building a space for couples that aren’t just gorgeous but build on their bond and love as a couple that just make her day. This core value has made Kalinya Estate a venue where every corner feels comfortable and inviting – like a home away from home where couples can celebrate their love surrounded by those who matter most.
Picture-perfect backdrops
While the design of each space at Kalinya is something to admire, the real star of the show is Kalinya Estate’s gardens. With its award-winning lawns and blooming flowers, it’s easy to see why so many couples fall in love with this venue backdrop.
Couples express time and again that it’s not just the beauty of the estate (and its show-stopping garden) but the passion and care that Mandy brings along with this venue that makes it so perfect. From helping them design unique details to ensuring a perfectly curated playlist and dinner menu, Mandy loves being able to spoil people throughout their celebrations and make sure their wishes come true.
Create a celebration to remember
Like every couple, each wedding at Kalinya Estate is different. But one thing remains the same in each and every celebration held at this venue; the creation of unforgettable memories and a display of pure love.
For Mandy, the most memorable weddings she’s had the honour of helping have been those that reflect the couple’s personality and story. What she loves most is the commitment part of each ceremony. Being able to hear the promises that each couple makes is an incredible moment that she’s so glad can be shared with her.
While Mandy does love the intimate parts of a wedding, nothing stays in your mind forever like an impressive six-tier cake. She’ll always remember a unique cake made by one of Australia’s best French patisseries that took centre stage in the glass gazebo. Adorned with hand-painted chocolate butterflies and succulents, the cake was a true knockout that guests (and herself) couldn’t stop talking about.
Mandy’s words of wisdom
Keeping things in perspective is the key to a memorable wedding. “[They] can be an overwhelming whirlwind, but by putting your marriage and the growth of your relationship first, you can be sure to enjoy the night – since it’s the whole reason you’re having a wedding in the first place!” Mandy adds, “It’ll make the whole celebration that much more meaningful when you look back on your cherished memories.”
She’s also a firm believer that ‘Shut Up and Dance’ by Walk the Moon has the magic to pack the dance floor and keep your celebrations going strong late into the night!
