  • Last drinks will be called 30 minutes before the reception concludes, with the bar closing 15 minutes prior to the end of the event to allow guests time to finish their drinks before departing.

    There is also a dedicated accessible bathroom available inside the Barn.

  • The Barn is a climate-controlled space equipped with both heating and cooling.

  • Yes. To manage volume levels and comply with the 94-decibel limit set by the EPA, we have installed a state-of-the-art JBN sound ceiling system. All music - whether performed by a band, DJ, or played from a playlist - must be run through our sound ceiling.

    Bands and DJs are required to arrive at least one hour before the reception begins to allow time for setup and a sound check with a member of the Inglewood Estate team.

    For those opting for a playlist, a BYO device must be provided by the couple, with all playlists downloaded onto the device. We will supply the necessary cables to connect it to our sound ceiling. Your MC or a trusted friend can manage song cues as needed.

    Inglewood Estate will also provide a microphone for speeches and announcements.

  • Your cake and fresh/faux floristry must be delivered on the day of your wedding from 10:00 am onwards.

    Please speak with your coordinator to arrange a delivery time.

  • We will set up your wishing well table, along with any BYO table or ceremony decorations, excluding hanging floristry or lights, which must be installed by a professional.

    Our team will place BYO decorations to the stage for you to pack and remove the next day between 9:30am - 12:00pm.

  • If you are getting ready in the Cottage, you can utilise the private Cottage car park during the day whilst you are getting ready.

    If you are getting ready offsite, please park in the main carpark.

  • No. If leaving a car overnight, please move it to the main car park, as the Cottage parking area may be required in the morning.

    Vehicles must be collected by 12.00pm the following day unless otherwise arranged with the General Manager..

  • Yes!

    Our main carpark has ample parking available.

    Additionally, cars are welcome to stay in the main carpark overnight. We kindly ask that guests return the next day prior to 12.00pm to collect their vehicles as the main car park may be needed for another wedding in the afternoon.

  • Ubers are generally very reliable at the property and can be pre-booked for extra peace of mind - up to 90 days in advance, from what we’ve been told! We always ask the MC to include a reminder during the housekeeping announcements, encouraging guests who need transport home to pre-book their Uber to avoid delays at the end of the reception.

    If your celebration falls on a weekday, it may be helpful to mention Uber’s pre-booking option on your invitations, as there are typically fewer drivers available compared to a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

    Unfortunately, taxis have not always been reliable, even when pre-booked, so we wouldn’t recommend them as a transport option.


    If you’re considering arranging a bus for your guests, please note that coaches cannot be accommodated at the property as we do not have a turning circle. A bus with 33 seats or fewer is ideal.

  • Upon arrival, they will proceed to the ceremony space and are welcome to enjoy the Chapel Gardens.

    Once the reception begins, we ask that they remain within the Barn and Barn Gardens, which provide plenty of beautiful photo opportunities and picturesque backdrops for your celebration.

    For health and safety reasons, guests are not permitted to roam the property.
