Cultural Weddings
For many cultures, a wedding is more than just an opportunity to celebrate love – it’s an opportunity to come together and honour important traditions and cultural heritage as couples take the next step in their lives together.
For many cultures, a wedding is more than just an opportunity to celebrate love – it’s an opportunity to come together and honour important traditions and cultural heritage as couples take the next step in their lives together.
Each year we host weddings spanning many cultural backgrounds and pride ourselves in our ability to help you incorporate special traditions into your day that reflect you and your family’s (or family-to-be’s) culture, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully executed.
Ceremony spaces ready to host your traditions
Our reception rooms can comfortably accommodate up to 220 seated guests without feeling overcrowded. We also offer flexible seating arrangements to suit traditional dining styles and cultural preferences.
For those incorporating cultural performances, dances or ceremonies into their wedding, these spaces provide the room needed to honour these traditions in a beautiful setting.
No matter your background, our reception spaces are designed to provide ample room for dancing and mingling between courses, ensuring you and your guests can fully enjoy the festivities.
Space to celebrate, dance and mingle
Each of our three ceremony spaces on site provide a breathtaking backdrop for cultural weddings. Our courtyard ceremony space is large enough to accommodate a full-sized mandap, making it ideal for Hindu wedding ceremonies.
We also offer the flexibility to set up a traditional chuppah canopy for Jewish weddings. With a versatile layout, our ceremony spaces can be styled to reflect your cultural aesthetic, ensuring a truly personalised experience.
Make your cuisine part of your special day
Delicious cuisine and delicacies are often the heart of cultural celebrations, which is why we offer flexible external catering and venue hire packages specifically designed for multicultural weddings.
Our state-of-the-art kitchen can be hired by your preferred external catering company, ensuring that the traditional dishes you love are prepared with authenticity and care. We can also accommodate culturally specific dietary needs and buffet-style service arrangements with our in-house team if required.
