For your ceremony, select from our on-site chapel or one of many locations in our secluded English gardens.
With so many photo opportunities on-site, there is no need for you to leave Ballara in order to capture all those magical moments.
Wander around the lake to discover our cascading waterfall, giant swing, lakeside jetty, rustic LOVE letters and rose arbours to name a few, without the hassle and stress of going to additional locations.
Relax and enjoy the reception in our enchanting ballroom – with sparkling chandeliers, large central dance floor and windows looking out to the fairy lit gardens.
No two weddings are the same, so we would love to tailor a package and quote to suit you and to find out what’s important for your wedding day?
