THE HALF ACRE CEREMONY OPTIONS

One thing that we love about the Half Acre is its versatility, with two lawn areas and an building called Miner’s Hut, you get to choose to hold your wedding ceremony either indoor or outdoor based on your vision as well as the weather condition.

Under the ideal weather condition, the lawn in front of the homestead remains as the most popular ceremony location at the Half Acre. The spacious lawn caters up to 180 ceremony guests and uses the elegant white wall backdrop offered by the homestead. The bride and her bridesmaid can be dropped off by wedding transport near the gate and then walk down the aisle.

HALF ACRE REVIEW (4.7STARS)

Dom: The Half Acre and Food & Desire teams were beyond brilliant for my wedding this month. Rebecca- absolutely amazing, incredible and all the staff from management to waiting staff to barstaff to security. Created such a vibe and the food was insanely good, beyond perfect. Will be forever grateful- well done Half Acre, we all had the best time of our lives!

Cassandra: Perfection. Everything ran so smoothly. The Half Acre team liased with all our vendors, guided my bridal party and myself and hosted a perfect day for us. The food was incredible and came out so well timed! I am so grateful for the attention to small details – Half Acre making sure we were fed in during the wedding photography session; having fireplaces ablaze in the woolshed, timing when I needed to walk down the aisle, having umbrellas ready for the rain ahead. I did not need to think of a single thing- could just enjoy my day with my husband. Gorgeous venue. You don’t need to go anywhere else for photos. Our Melbourne wedding photography and videography nailed our photos and videos as well. Moved seamlessly from ceremony in the garden to pre dinner drinks in the miner’s cottage to reception in the woolshed. Flawless.

Karina: Half Acre is a restaurant located in South Melbourne, Victoria. The restaurant is accessible via PTV tram 109 (Towards Port Melbourne). It is only a few stops away from Southern Cross Station. The environment in Half Acre is good and the food is delicious. Scotch fillet (beef), roasted barramundi fillet (fish), and baby snapper (fish) are highly recommended. Although the quantity (serving) is insufficient (small), the quality (taste) is extremely good. The restaurant has a ballroom which can fit roughly 30 – 50 people. The ballroom is well-decorated and is suitable for function including business dinner, Wedding, and birthday celebration. Half Acre is a highly recommended! Do check out my instagram @ roshan_arjun for more feeds. Cheers!

WEDDIN PHOTOGRAPHY OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE HALF ACRE

As a Melbourne wedding photographer, the Half Acre itself is a stunning property that offers elegant backdrop for wedding photos. Although most couples would still go to the Melbourne CBD for some extra wedding photography on the wedding day, I’d say the surroundings of Half Acre make up a fantastic backdrop for wedding photography. Here are the top 3 spots around the Half Acre for chic wedding photos:

1. the front courtyard with greenery of Half Acre
2. the brick wall
3. the laneway and streets around the venue
