First comes love, then comes the party
You know it, we know it: food can make or break a wedding. If fresh, delicious, rave-worthy food is a non-negotiable for your big day — you’re in the right place.
A recipe for love at first bite

The Food
Our food will always be a topic of conversation. Whether you’re opting for a walk & fork menu, family style or formal seated affair — we’ll help you break the ice with bold flavours, fresh produce (largely organic & grown on-site) and vibrant presentation. We also understand the value of customisation, so if there’s a sentimental dish or particular theme of cuisine you’d love us to create, our chefs have the creative flair & expertise to design a menu that is perfectly you-shaped.

The planning
Ensuring your day is spectacular — while looking effortless — is a responsibility we don’t take lightly. As your venue coordinators, we’ll work closely with you (and you wedding planner, if you have one) to nail down the venue-related logistics such as run-sheets, ceremony rehearsal, day-of coordination, and overseeing all the set-up and pack-down requirements. So all you have to do on the big day is pop the champagne & revel in love.

The spaces
St Georges is truly multi-purpose, with a number of transformative spaces that can be enjoyed separately or together. There’s a beautiful, effortless flow between all areas — perhaps you begin with your ceremony in The Vine Patio, head to The Courtyard for cocktails & photos, dine alfresco under the vines as the afternoon turns into a balmy evening & then dance the night away under the stars. Or if the indoor vibe is more your style, host the formalities in the upper Mezzanine before moving downstairs for a boogie in The Harvest Room. The choice is yours!
The Spaces.

The Courtyard
Romantic, cosy & surrounded by lush green foliage year-round, you could be mistaken for thinking you're somewhere in Tuscany! The courtyard is a timeless ceremony, dining or milling space, with ample natural backdrops for photographs.
-
The Mezzanine
White, light and airy with charming juliette balconies — this modern space is beautiful as is, but is also a neutral canvas to style your way. Large arch windows offer spectacular golden hour lighting and unrivalled views of Te Mata Peak.
-
The Vine Patio
A perfectly secluded grapevine patio space for saying ‘I do,’ or a relaxed mingling/alfresco dining area for smaller weddings.
-
The Harvest Room
A fantastic wet weather space, dance floor or mingling area — with beautiful double doors that open out onto the Courtyard. High cathedral ceilings & windows bathe the space in natural light.
-
The Dining Room
Another ‘Plan B’ indoor space with endless opportunities to make your own (and a highly accessible option if dining upstairs in the mezzanine is not ideal for some guests).

“We hunted high and low for a venue that was able to be personalised. We had a clear vision for our styling, so we wanted a space we could easily make our own. As soon as we saw St Georges, we knew it was the perfect canvas. It’s a really versatile space — with multiple areas that can be utilised in different ways — in a very classic, inviting setting.
The team organised for us to have our ceremony in the neighbouring apple orchard (amazing!) then we all moved into the outdoor courtyard for the reception — it’s beautiful and leafy, with a Mediterranean feel to it. Even though we had 75 guests, the space felt very intimate.
The venue was everything we hoped for, but Kat was the real standout. From our first interaction she was so helpful. Most venues offer a stock-standard experience (“these are our packages”), but Kat was so accommodating. We were planning the wedding remotely, so communication was key & it was always top notch. Nothing was too hard… even our idea of lowering a big 80s-style piñata cake from the mezzanine down to the dance floor!
We walked away from our experience feeling like we’d become friends. And the food was obviously stunning — everyone went nuts over the maple whipped butter and the melt in yo’ mouth lamb.”
