What sets us apart from other venues?

Squire’s is a BYO venue for alcohol/drinks but we are not a DIY venue – all our packages offer substantial inclusions, such as pre wedding planning and on the day set up, styling and co-ordination of the entire event plus many extras.  

What we offer is the ultimate wedding package including styling and event planning/management with all packages including our in-house styling and event planning team and our “next level” styling inventory list.  Squire’s Inventory includes a huge selection of quality real touch artificial florals in many varieties and color schemes to help manage your “extra” costs and keep you within budget.  You send us your “wedding inspo” shots from pinterest for the ceremony and reception styling and we come back to you with some sample mock ups to show you what we can create for you – all within the package price.  

Styling and hiring of equipment and the many “extras” that go with weddings is where couples often lose control of their budget and what was supposed to be a $20k or $30k wedding becomes a $40k or $50k plus wedding.  This is where the packages at Squire’s really and truly come into their own.  We have had so many couples say how much they loved knowing that we had them covered for just about everything they needed to make their wedding day really special and how “stress free” this made the process.

GUEST HOUSE:
Accommodating groups of up to 14 (for weddings), the Guest House evokes style and serenity with commanding views to our boutique vineyard. The property is ideally suited to a group of up to 10 adults and 4 children. Whilst it can sleep 14 adults it would be in shared rooms. With 5 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, separate Living Pavilion with kitchen, dining and lounge and dual courtyards, the property provides the perfect base for the wedding party or family and friends of the bride and groom to stay together in complete comfort. Breakfast provisions, a welcome cheese platter and some complimentary wine from our vineyard are included.

LUXURY SUITES:
Four luxury on-site suites, each sleeping up to 4 guests per suite are now available. One of these is pet friendly so that couples can incorporate their fur babies in their ceremony.   Contact us now for more information and pricing.

Squire’s Vineyard is a premium property for your event.  Contact us with your guest numbers for a quote.
