What sets Riverlea Estate apart is its versatility. While renowned for hosting dreamlike weddings, the estate boasts a restaurant of its own, 1912 Restaurant. Operating seamlessly alongside wedding receptions, 1912 Restaurant serves delectable pastas, pizzas, and risottos, ensuring that even non-wedding guests have the chance to indulge in Italian cuisine with their choice of liquour.

Riverlea Estate takes the stress out of wedding planning by offering both a ceremony and reception venue. The wedding ceremony marquee, enveloped by lush greenery and European architecture (including pillars and marble structures), creates a magical ambiance, seamlessly blending the beauty of nature with elegant architecture. This thoughtful touch adds a touch of enchantment to the entire experience.

The reception hall at Riverlea Estate is nothing short of spectacular. With a dedicated drinks area and a vast open reception hall, the venue caters to the needs of large celebrations. The expansive dance floor and stage for speeches or the main guest table make it ideal for gatherings of easily 300 guests and probably more. The attention to detail in the design ensures that every guest has a comfortable and enjoyable experience. You just need to choose your own caterer, your own set piece for each table, and the DJ and/or musicians for the big night.
