The estate · 15–25 guests
Get married
overlooking the vines
Built for twenty-five, not two hundred
A private estate in Martinborough for small weddings of 15 to 25 people — the House, the Barn and the grounds exclusively yours for four nights, so nothing is rushed and nobody is watching the clock.
Lismore is not a wedding factory with three bookings a weekend. It is a five-bedroom colonial homestead and a barn on an estate overlooking the vines, and for four nights it is yours and no one else's — which is why the day can run at the pace you want it to.
We provide the venue. Bring your own crew, or draw on our list of chefs, caterers, florists, celebrants, make-up artists and planners — all local, all people we've worked with.
How a Lismore wedding usually runs
Four nights, five days. The shape below is how most couples use them.
Arrival
Settle in from 3pm. The House, the Barn and the grounds are yours. Enjoy the evening with your core team.
Set up
Vendors arrive, styling touches go in, seating gets arranged. It starts to get real.
The big day
One of you gets ready at the Barn, the other at the House. Ceremony usually at 2pm in the grounds or on the deck, then an intimate reception on the estate.
Married at Last!
Breakfast at the Barn with your closest. A relaxed recovery lunch on the estate, or in the village five minutes away.
Breakfast and departure at 11am on day five. Your life together as a couple begins.
