Food & Beverages
A little explanation about all things food and drinks ...
Life is uncertain, eat dessert first
Our wedding packages include chef selection of canapes prior to your reception followed by a three course meal. If you prefer to have a buffet meal for your wedding reception, we can certainly accommodate this.
​
Your wedding menu will include two options per course, served alternate serve. This is the standard choice but we are open to suggestions.
​
You may wish to swap the alternate serve entree to a large sharing board per guest table - or - swap the alternate serve desserts to a dessert station. The dessert station includes three options from our wedding menu, in petit size, served on wooden platters to a styled dessert station.
​
Below is a link to our current wedding menu. The menu does change from time to time, to keep it fresh and current. As we get closer to your wedding, the most recent menu will be sent to you.

Beverages
Gledswood Homestead & Winery, albeit not a working winery these days, has sourced premium quality beverages for our wedding beverage package to match the meals on our wedding menu. Our own label, Gledswood Estate, offers a selection of wines that are sure to appeal.
​
The majority of our wedding packages include a beverage component in it. The beverage component allows for 4.5 hours of drinks service ~ beer, wine and soft drinks. Our company policy is for all bar services to cease 30 minutes prior to the end of your reception
​
The beverage package commences once guests enter the reception. We place a bottle of red and white wine per guest table (where your package includes the beverage component), along with iced water. Beer service is from the bar.
Canape Hour
Your wedding package includes one hour for pre-dinner canapes prior to your reception starting. The bridal party are usually having photos while their guests enjoy canapes and drinks at one of our canape hour locations.
​
Beverage options for this hour include having either:
-
Bar tab - you determine a preset limit
-
Guests purchase their own
We serve beer, wine and soft drinks only during canape hour. Spirits are not included at this point. Spirits can be added to your reception, and we recommend delaying service of spirits until main meals are served.

If there is a particular beverage you would like to have on your wedding day, please have a chat to your Event Coordinator. We do not permit bottles of spirits on guest tables during the reception, but can arrange for your spirit of choice behind the bar.
