A Wedding at Aravina Estate: Why It Was the Perfect Choice
Tucked away in the heart of Margaret River’s famed wine country, Aravina Estate is one of Western Australia's most enchanting wedding venues—and for good reason. With its sweeping vineyards, manicured gardens, and Mediterranean-inspired architecture, it offers the kind of romantic setting that feels like it was plucked from a dream.
I had the joy of working with a couple who tied the knot at Aravina, and it quickly became clear why this venue is such a standout. Here’s why a wedding at Aravina Estate might just be the perfect choice for your big day.
1. The Location: Nature Meets Elegance
Located just 10 minutes from Yallingup and surrounded by lush vineyards, native bushland, and tranquil lakes, Aravina Estate offers a peaceful escape with the most picturesque scenery. Whether you’re planning a garden ceremony under the arbour or exchanging vows with the vineyard as your backdrop, every angle is a photo opportunity.
And with Margaret River’s crisp air, golden light, and world-renowned natural beauty, your wedding day automatically feels like a weekend getaway—for you and your guests.
2. The Venue: Timeless, Luxe, and Versatile
What sets Aravina apart is its balance of elegance and warmth. The estate offers multiple ceremony and reception spaces, including:
The Garden Amphitheatre for open-air ceremonies
The Terrace overlooking the lake and vines
The Chandelier Room, a stunning indoor reception space with polished floors, statement lighting, and floor-to-ceiling views
Whether you’re after a boho-chic celebration or a black-tie dinner under the stars, Aravina has the flexibility to match your vision.
3. The Food & Wine: Unmatched Quality
Let’s be honest—food and wine matter, and Aravina gets it absolutely right. The estate’s in-house chefs focus on local, seasonal ingredients, and the menu is full of crowd-pleasers that still feel refined. Paired with their estate-grown wines, every meal feels special.
And for wine-loving couples? This is your dream venue. The on-site cellar door is the perfect spot for tastings, pre-wedding events, or even a romantic post-wedding wind-down.
4. Photography: A Visual Dream
From the manicured gardens to the lakeside jetty, Aravina is full of natural beauty and architectural detail. We styled a bride here recently in a custom silk crepe gown with soft draping—and the images against the golden vineyard rows were breathtaking.
Sunset over the vines, light filtering through the gum trees, and reflections dancing on the lake: it’s the kind of place that makes your wedding photos feel like they belong in a magazine.
5. The Experience: Seamless and Personal
What we loved most about Aravina was the service. Their wedding team is experienced, thoughtful, and focused on making the day smooth for everyone involved—from vendors to the bridal party and guests. You can tell they truly care about creating a relaxed, luxury experience from start to finish.
