We’ve never entered ourselves into the ABIA wedding awards, but we imagine winning it would feel similar to reading this review🥇

PS: Shout out to Teresa whose work ethic is so great that Dutch scientists have formally requested to study her.

Hi there, Tim here.

We haven’t made a post on here for about 6 months. We’ve had a bit going on. Here’s a a short story for you…

In 2020 I began renovating Simon Hackett Winery to turn it into a wedding venue. I spent almost a million dollars over 5 years. Much was borrowed.

Making improvements to someone else’s property was fine. I had a 20-year lease, after all.

We hosted our first wedding in late 2021 and we quickly became one of the busiest wedding venues in the country. I was pumped (and relieved).

This is Bridget and I on our wedding day in May 2025. At SHW, of course.

The honeymoon period was short lived. 6 weeks later my landlord attempted to terminate my lease and take the venue. Improvements and all.

You may have read it in the paper.

Long (stressful) story short: I bought the winery, and the future of the venue is secure.

A big thank you to the Mclaren Vale community and wedding industry folks for their support and kind words during this period. Special shout out to but more on that later).

To celebrate, we are hosting our first day of venue tours in 6 months.

And we have JUST opened 2027 for bookings. Usually our 2027 peak dates would be long gone by now.

With engagement season coming up, now’s your chance to snap up your preferred date before the hectic-ness of January and February.
