Venue Testimonials
Absolutely stunning venue. This winery was perfect for us. What really worked was that they have both indoor (pavilion) and outdoor ceremony settings. The team always had our best interests in mind and were super attentive and very helpful. And the venue was beautiful! So grateful that we have decided to host our wedding at Elmswood.

WOW... The view took our breath away the first time we saw the venue and location. The staff were just as spectacular and really made sure the day was perfectly run so we could enjoy our day. The photos taken around the vines really added the classic feel. The top spot to get married.

Elmswood Estate is a beautiful venue for a wedding. The staff there were terrific. The wedding coordinator and her assistant were both wonderful in the lead-up and on the day. From the moment that I stepped out of the car on the day they were there to help.
