The Ceremony Bit

We have a beautiful outdoor ceremony space with seating for 100+ guests. As we are an outdoor venue we don't have a license to do the legal bit. You will have to visit the registry office ar church for this.

We can cater for a beautiful personalised celebrant ceremony or blessing, where you can work with your celebrant to make your ceremony special and personal to you.

The Food

Unlike many wedding venues, at The Den At Four Acre you may choose your own caterers! Whether your style of wedding is a more traditional, formal sit down meal with table service or a laid back go-help-yourself festival vibe, we have an extensive list of tried and tested caterers. From BBQ to hog roast, wood fired pizza to sharing boards and ice cream cart to a waffles truck, you have the freedom to choose what you want and who you would like.
