We like you to have flexibility in how your wedding is organised, therefore we encourage and welcome you to use a caterer of your choice for the food at your wedding. We can provide you with a list of trusted, local caterers we have previously worked alongside with.
The barn provides a great space for caterers to set up and use for your marquee or picnic wedding complete with power and water. We have plenty of space for food trucks to access, park and cater for your reception.
You could also bring your own drinks with no corkage charges, making your special day even more affordable.*
Alternatively we can direct you to a local company who can create an on site bar for your event.
*A special liquor licence may be required, we can provide advice to you about relevant regulatory requirements.

General Information
Parking
We can offer onsite parking for 50 cars or mini-vans only. You enter our property via a small bridge which therefore limits the use of large vehicles onto the property. If you choose to have a bus bring your guests to the venue, they will need to drop your guests at the bottom of the driveway. Buses can then park further to the entry end of Waiaute Road, away from The Quarter Acre cafe so as not to disturb the traffic flow of their business.
Entertainment
We include games for entertainment during the day time for you and your guests. We provide you with a large music system which is AUX and bluetooth compatible for you to connect your own device via bluetooth and have your own music for the evening. We are also happy for you to hire a DJ or a band with their own equipment for the evenings entertainment. To abide by noise regulations which this area we must have the bass down low or turned off from 10.30pm on wards and the music must cease at 11.30pm with no exceptions.
