As a luxury wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing the love and joy of couples on their special day at Glenbosch Winery Estate in Beechworth. And let me tell you, this stunning venue is a true gem! With its picturesque vineyards, beautifully restored cottages, and charming Italian-inspired trees and atmosphere, it’s the perfect setting for an intimate and romantic wedding celebration that will transport your guests to the Tuscan countryside.
A Taste of Italy in the Australian Countryside
Glenbosch Winery Estate is a unique and romantic wedding venue that combines the charm of Italy with the beauty of the Australian countryside. The venue’s architecture, decor, and landscaping are all inspired by the Italian Renaissance, with beautifully restored stone buildings, including gorgeous stone stairs near the reception space, a beautiful fountain, greenery and some festoon lighting in the ceiling near the ceremony spot and outside the reception space, and lush vineyard views with Italian cypress trees. The result is a truly one-of-a-kind wedding venue that will leave your guests in awe.
Weekday Weddings: European Elegance no matter your budget
I always tell my couples to focus on 3 priorities for their wedding day, for example. Photo, food, DJ, and a lot of gorgeous European venues are either in the city or huge cost. Which isn’t always affordable or a priority for everyone, and thats okay. Maybe you’d rather invest that into your wedding photography or something else? What sets Glenbosch apart from other wedding venues is its unique weekday wedding options. Say goodbye to the hefty price tag of the European inspired venues in the city and hello to a more relaxed and affordable celebration. With a weekday wedding, you’ll enjoy the same level of service and luxury as a weekend wedding, but at a fraction of the cost.
