Seasonal Weddings in the Swan Valley

In the Swan Valley, each season holds the promise of offering its own spectacular display of colour, atmosphere and beauty.

Fresh blooms burst forth in the crispness of spring, dazzling stars can be admired across warm summer nights, golden foliage and still air graces us in autumn, while vibrant, green scenes surround on cosy winter days.

With so many spectacular moments to marry in the Swan Valley, these select venues offer a taste of how bride and grooms to-be could curate their own special day, as guided by the four seasons.

Surrounded by sweeping views of picturesque vineyards and with barrel-lined rooms to hosts intimate feasts, Sandalford Wines is an iconic Swan Valley wedding destination. Upon early spring, the enveloping trees begin to bloom, the grass is lush post- winter rains and, later in the season, budburst commences in the vineyards.

For their Sandalford wedding, bride and groom Leah and Mitch selected the Merlot Lawn outside for their ceremony space and canapés, making the most of the soft spring light. As the sun set and the temperature dropped, they took to the Estate Room, indoors, for their round- table banquet reception; an intimate space to dance into the evening.

Set amongst towering gum trees that filter dappled light throughout the simple ceremony space, new Swan Valley wedding venue Lily Farm House is a breathtaking summer spot to say ‘I do’.

Inside, its stunning blend of natural rammed earth walls, high ceilings, and sophisticated glass and timber features make for an enchanting space to indulge in a long-table banquet. While the charming courtyard dressed with festoon lights calls for continued celebration under the stars.

Winner of the 2023 Gold Plate Awards for weddings, The Vines is a truly lavish and picturesque place to tie the knot in the Swan Valley.

In autumn, sunshine graces guests with a gentler heat and the air is often still. The changing colours of the surrounding vines and the sky’s golden glow at dusk make for a captivating backdrop for capturing memories. Meanwhile, kangaroos grace the resort grounds, delighting guests.

With Mediterranean-style, old stone walls framing the entrance, and views of vineyards for miles from the back, RiverBank Estate will take any bride and groom’s breath away.

In winter, the scenic surrounds are vibrant and green, while a crispness permeates the air. Making the most of this verdant expanse while protecting from the elements, a transparent marquee can be erected over the lush lawn space and studded with twinkling fairy lights for an enchanting atmosphere. The live outdoor fire cooking station, alongside old vine premium reds is enough to warm the soul, until making your way into the warm and welcoming restaurant space to continue on into the night.
