Can I play music in the Barn Gardens?

Playing music in the Barn Gardens, whether live or through a speaker, is not permitted. Your guests will have access to both the Barn and its adjacent gardens during the canapé hour. Music from the stage is audible throughout this part of the event and complements the ambiance without any issues.

Can we taste the food?

We offer a dedicated tasting event twice a year in line with our spring/summer and autumn/winter menu releases. These events are exclusive to our booked couples. During this event you are able to taste the canapes, and the main dishes that are available for your wedding and sample both the standard and premium drink selection.

Can I bring my own alcohol?

While we don’t have a BYO licence, we do offer two drinks packages for you to choose from. Our standard package is included in the per-person menu price, while our premium package is available for an additional fee per guest. Additionally, we’d be happy to order in your favourite spirit to ensure the evening reflects your preferences.

Can I have stubbies instead of cans?

Yes, but due to their higher cost, weight, noise when being emptied into recycling bins, and the additional space they require in the cool room, they are limited to a maximum of two cases.

What time does the bar shut?

The bar closes 15 minutes before the end of the reception, giving guests enough time to finish their final drink before the event concludes and they are asked to depart.

Is there accessible access to the Barn and toilets?

The reception space is fully accessible, and there is also a dedicated accessible bathroom available.

Is there a PA system in the Barn?

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.

Can I have a photo booth?

Yes, absolutely! Depending on your floor plan, wedding size, and whether you’re having live music, there may be space inside the Barn for a photo booth. Alternatively, you can set up in the undercover area of the Barn Gardens.

What time does the tram shut?

The tram will be shut no later than 7.30pm.

What are the complimentary styling items?

Complimentary styling items include a rustic wishing well, table numbers, and a rustic seating chart backing board. Also available are three black metal easels, tealight candles with holders, and napkins in white or natural tones. A barrel is provided to display your cake, complete with a stand and cake knife, along with vintage wooden boxes for added styling.

When can my decorations and cake be delivered?

Your cake and fresh/faux floristry must be delivered on the day of your wedding from 10:00 am onwards. All other decorations can be delivered in the days leading up to your wedding by appointment. Please speak with your coordinator to arrange a delivery time.

Who sets up and packs down our decorations?

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.

Pre-arranged vases of flowers can also be placed for you.

For more complex setups, an additional staff member may be required at an extra cost, or a friend or family member can assist on your behalf. Please speak with your event coordinator for more details.

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

Can I bring my own candles?

You are welcome to bring your own pillar candles and tealights, provided they are fully enclosed in glass canisters. Alternatively, you may hire ours.

Tapered dinner candles must be placed in a glass, metal, or ceramic holder with a wide base to catch any dripping wax. Please ensure they are secure and stable to prevent tipping.

How many flowers/candles do I need for share-style tables (Inglewood Package)?

For long tables (made up of two single tables), we recommend three arrangements, placed between the share plates. Smaller tables, consisting of a single table, will only require one arrangement.

Can my guests enjoy the fire pit?

Yes, absolutely! Providing it is not raining the fire pit can be lit for your reception. Please note, the fire pit will not operate during the official fire season. Please ask your coordnator for specific dates.

Are sparkler exits allowed?

Due to recent changes in council restrictions, sparklers are no longer permitted. For a memorable exit, consider alternatives like glow sticks, fiber optic wands, phone torches, or bubbles! Please be mindful of neighbours and wildlife when exiting the property.

Is dry ice allowed?

Yes, dry ice is allowed, provided it is supplied and operated by a professional company.

Can my guests walk around the property?

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

Where do I park my car?

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.

Can I keep my car in the Cottage carpark overnight?

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..

Can cars stay overnight?

Yes! 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.

What transport options are available for my guests?

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.
