McLaren Vale Event Centre

Set right in the heart of McLaren Vale, this venue is an unexpected and surprising find.

It is the ideal choice for those who want an affordable country garden wedding close to all of the town’s accommodation options.

The building itself is architecturally beautiful, featuring a striking rammed earth exterior, and showcasing polished concrete floors, raked ceilings, reclaimed timber beams in the interior. Whether you go for a chic-glam look or more of a relaxed boho vibe, the building’s large picture windows create a bright and inviting space that is suitable for any styling choice.

With a choice of rooms and function spaces, the McLaren Vale Event Centre is almost unrivalled in terms of guest numbers. It can accommodate elopements and ceremonies in their intimate cellar door garden, through to large-scale wedding ceremonies and receptions of up to 1000 people! For those of you searching for a venue suitable for that massive outdoor wed-fest, cue happy dance, and there’s plenty of room for marquees or tipis.

Spanning 14 acres, the Event Centre’s extensive grounds offer superb views and a plethora of options for photography. They include manicured lawns, vines, gardens, fruit and vegetable orchards, and a gorgeous vine-clad decking area that changes colour with the seasons. And to top things off, there’s even a playground for kids (and big-kids)!

At this full-service venue, the work is all done for you, with in-house beverage and cocktail catering packages available. They are also very flexible when it comes to outside catering, if you have your heart set on a specific supplier you can BYO to your hearts content! It’s the ultimate build-your-own wedding venue.
