STANGATE HOUSE
If you’re looking for a picturesque wedding venue nestled in the Adelaide Hills, look no further than Stangate House in Aldgate. This heritage-listed house is managed by the Mount Lofty branch of the National Trust of South Australia and is surrounded by a stunningly curated garden, which has even been recognised as an International Camellia Garden of Excellence.
The garden is framed by a variety of mature trees, including a giant English oak tree that is reputed to have been planted by a homesick gold prospector in the late 19th century.
While the house itself is not often used as a wedding venue due to its status as a museum, the two large grassy areas on the property are perfect for hosting wedding receptions. Lunchtime receptions are especially popular among the weddings held at Stangate House, and for good reason. The lush greenery surrounding the property provides the perfect backdrop for your special day.
Imagine exchanging vows in front of the towering English oak tree with the love of your life, surrounded by your closest friends and family. The gentle breeze rustling through the leaves and the fragrant scent of the camellias in bloom will create an unforgettable atmosphere.
After the ceremony, your guests can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the garden while you take some stunning Adelaide Hills wedding photography with your new spouse. The garden is filled with hidden nooks and crannies that are perfect for intimate photo sessions, while the sprawling green lawn is perfect for group photos with your bridal party.
As the sun starts to set, the garden is transformed into a magical wonderland, with the warm glow of fairy lights illuminating the surrounding trees. The house itself provides a beautiful backdrop for your reception, with its historic architecture and charming interior. While the interior of the house is not available for use as a reception venue, you can set up a photo booth or take some photos in the foyer to capture some memories with your guests.
Overall, Stangate House is the perfect wedding venue for couples who want a romantic, intimate celebration surrounded by the natural beauty of the Adelaide Hills. Whether you’re planning a small, intimate wedding or a large, extravagant affair, Stangate House can accommodate your needs and help you create memories that will last a lifetime.
