the vision
Ben and Zoe’s vision for their wedding was clear: relaxed vibes, great food, and a deep connection to nature. Having first visited Glenworth Valley on a camping trip early in their relationship, the couple’s bond with the site made it their ideal venue
“We remember driving down and seeing the wedding sign, thinking how magical it would be to get married here one day,” said Zoe. “When it came time to choose a venue, nothing else compared.”
Glenworth Valley’s attention to detail was evident throughout. The venue’s sandstone blocks provided a tiered view for the ceremony, allowing every guest to witness the couple’s vows. Their reception was hosted in the elegant Wilderness Room, with a cocktail hour in the Rainforest Room, complemented by stunning views and cozy fire pits.
The food, a highlight of the event, received rave reviews, with guests even wishing they had taken some home.
The couple also opted for an array of enhancements including five cozy cabins and three fire pits – creating a welcoming and festive atmosphere. Interactive puzzles during the canapés—featuring spot-the-difference and sudoku — also engaged guests and added a unique touch.

The coordination team at Glenworth Valley played a pivotal role in ensuring the day went off without a hitch.
“Beth was fantastic,” said Ben. “She was easy to communicate with and truly understood our vision.”
The food and beverage team also left a lasting impression. Their attentiveness to the bridal party and seamless service throughout the reception contributed to an overall enjoyable experience.
For Ben and Zoe, Glenworth Valley exceeded their expectations. “The venue’s natural beauty, the warm atmosphere, and the accommodating staff made our day unforgettable,” Zoe reflected. “The sandstone, the view, and the food were all amazing.”
For those considering Glenworth Valley for their own celebrations, Ben and Zoe have one piece of advice: “Enjoy the relaxed experience and trust the team to bring your vision to life. You won’t be disappointed.”
