Weddings at Aranya Acres
Your Day,
Our Wilderness
One wedding at a time. No more than 70 guests. 25 acres of working vineyard & winery — 30 minutes from Canberra CBD.
Aranya Acres sits on 25 acres of working vineyard & winery, and we've spent years quietly shaping it into a place couples want to be married on.
It's small on purpose — one wedding at a time, no more than 70 guests, and an intimate scale where every seat at the table actually matters. Long lunches between the rows. Slow mornings with coffee on the deck. Stars you can actually see. That's the kind of day we know how to hold.
We're a full-service venue with a working vineyard at our centre — once you're booked in, the heavy lifting is ours. Catering, styling, coordination, and the people who'll bring it all together on the day — celebrant, photographer, videographer, music — we can take care of all of it through partners we've worked with for years. The wine on your table comes from the winery or local Canberra wine makers, and the menu is built from scratch with our chef. One point of contact from your first email through to the last toast.
Because we're small, we host one wedding at a time. We don't try to be everything for everyone — we try to be exactly right for the couples we say yes to.

The Food
Built from scratch,
every time
We don't hand you a fixed list to choose from. We sit down with you and our chef, work through what's in season locally, what's coming out of the vineyard, and what you and your people actually want to eat on the day. The result is a wedding menu that feels like yours, not ours.
Both the omnivore and vegetarian options are designed with you — not as an afterthought. Every guest gets the option they actually want. A few weeks out from the wedding, guests RSVP with their selection. No-one ends up with a plate they don't like.
Two or three courses
Two-course shared dining for The Acreage; three courses for The Aranya and The Bespoke. Served at the table — the meal feels like a long lunch with people you love.
Canapés on arrival
Choose from charcuterie grazing, freshly shucked oysters, or rolling chef's canapés — four to six pieces over the welcome hour, a mix of hot and cold.
Dietary needs
Coeliac, vegan, halal, kosher, allergies, fussy small humans — all accommodated. Let us know early and we design for it from the start.
The Drinks
Three tiers to choose from
Designed around what we love to pour and what works at the property. Tell us which fits the day you're imagining and we'll put a quote together once we've worked through your guest numbers.
Basic
- —House red, white, rosé & sparkling
- —Local beer — tap and tinnies
- —Soft drinks, juice, sparkling water, tea & coffee
Premium
- —Everything in Basic
- —Premium wines from our reserve & cellar selection
- —Wider beer list — craft, imported & seasonal
- —Standard spirits with mixers
- —Full non-alcoholic range including kombucha & zero-proof spirits
Ultimate
- —Everything in Premium
- —A bespoke cocktail menu — two to three signature cocktails designed with you
- —Matching custom mocktails (the proper kind, not lime and soda)
- —Top-shelf spirits
Want cocktails without the full Ultimate tier? Cocktails can be added to Basic or Premium on a per-drink basis — ideal for a welcome drink at the ceremony or a single signature on the bar.
The People
Partners we know and trust
A few of the bigger pieces we can take care of for you. Pricing varies by package, day of week, and season — happy to send a vendor sheet once we've talked through what you're imagining.
Celebrant
Our partnered celebrant has married more couples on this property than anyone else. He knows the grounds, the running order, and how to read a room.
Photography & Video
Koss Agency is a team we work with closely. They know the light here through every season and where to be at golden hour.
Music
Live bands, solo musicians, and DJs sourced through our network — from an acoustic ceremony set to a band that'll keep the dance floor going until close. Tell us the vibe and we'll send a shortlist.
A few things we leave to you because they're personal — your wedding cake, stationery, and any heirloom or family pieces you want to bring in. We'll share recommendations for the bakers and stationers we like.
Stay the Night
On-site accommodation
Two tiny homes on the property, sleeping two in each — four people in total. The couple takes one, and the other usually goes to parents, a sibling, or a member of the wedding party. On-site stays are included in The Bespoke package, and available to discuss on others.
Two Tiny Homes
Sleeps 4 in total — nestled in the vineyard, steps from where you said yes.
Nearby Stays
We'll send our list of nearby accommodation — lovely spots within a 15-minute drive, with arrangements for our wedding guests.

Tell us about your day — we'll take it from there.
