The heritage-listed buildings and landscaped grounds that make up Abbeville Estate are over 150 years old and have been meticulously restored and contemporised for the needs of today. The light that enters through the stained glass panes of the Church falls over its warm native timber interior and sets the most idyllic stage for weddings. Alternatively the landscaped grounds provide a picturesque stage for nuptials and the perfect common area for mingling and photography. A marquee with seating can be arranged on the lawn or you can choose the Homestead or the Barn as the venue for your fully-catered reception. The Homestead also includes a separate parlour that can be used as a private preparation space for brides.
