Are you attending or planning a wedding in Robe, South Australia? We know how overwhelming it can be to plan a wedding from afar with little to no local contacts, so we have done the ground work for you and compiled a list of venues through to hair and make-up to make sure your day is extra special.

When we dream up weddings in Robe we all have the hope of getting ‘one of those days’. Where the mornings are foggy but crisp, then the sun peaks out and the day becomes clear and sunny with a light ocean breeze, then it all ends with magical sunsets that blinds your guests straight into your clear marquee. The realities of getting a slightly different version of this does not stop our brides booking Robe for ‘one of those days’. And nor should it, because Robe has a magical effect regardless of the ‘weather gods’ being on your side or not. Let me show you…

VENUE

CAPE JAFFA WINES

If you are looking to ‘wow’ your guests than look no further than Cape Jaffa Wines. With sweeping views of the vineyard from their newly renovated deck to an under-ground, paddock-stoned, moody barrel room to dance the night away. You feel a million miles away when at Cape Jaffa Wines, it’s quiet, private, has breath-taking views and only 20 minutes from Robe.

PERKS

You don’t need to hire a marquee as there are two locations both with wind protection and cover (deck and barrel room)
Once you are at Cape Jaffa Wines you don’t have to go anywhere! The venue is set up to hold your ceremony, wedding photos and reception
Cape Jaffa Wines and brother label Loophole Brewery Co can supply your guests with delicious refreshments all night long
You get two venues in one package, plan your ceremony up on the lawn area and your reception downstairs in the barrel room
As you are ‘out of town’ the curfews are not as strict so your guests can enjoy the dance floor for longer

WRIGHTS BAY

New to the venue scene is Wrights Bay, your coastal wedding dreams offering uninterrupted sea views and direct access to your own private beach. Wrights Bay is a privately owned venue, sprawling over 10-acres of farmland only 10 minutes from Robe. The venue is a blank canvas, so keep your Pinterest scrolling because here, you can do it all. The lawns are big enough to host both your sea view ceremony and your sit-down marquee (opt for clear to soak in the views at golden hour). Weather can be a bit hit or miss as there is no shelter, but the risk certainly pays off for those lucky couples!

SPLASH BY THE SEA

Nestled between the Caledonian Inn and Front Beach is the most iconic and exclusive of them all, Splash By The Sea. Tuscan style cottages surround a small patch of grass where you can either hold your intimate ceremony or fit a 10x12m marquee for a sit-down reception. You only have to look at the images below to get a feel of how special this location truely is. Although you are just steps away from the Main Street and Robe’s most popular pub, walk up to your private grassed lawn, breath in the cool Southern Ocean air and take in the magical views of the Bay. The sun-sets to the left of the bay (when looking out to the ocean) so your marquee will be flooded with a golden glow in the afternoon for the ultimate ‘wow’ factor.

PERKS

You are in the heart of town so your guests don’t have to worry about transport as they should be able to walk home from Splash
Splash By The Sea is located just behind The Caledonian Inn for those who don’t want the night to end
