There’s something about September that feels like a fresh beginning.

The mornings are softer, the afternoons a little warmer, and across Cradle Valley, the landscape slowly begins to change. Green returns to the gardens, new growth appears along the valley, and the days stretch just a little longer.

And perhaps there is no better season to begin imagining one of the biggest new beginnings of your own – your wedding day.

This September, we’re opening our gates for two special Venue Viewing Days on Sunday, 13 September and Sunday, 20 September 2026, and we would love to welcome you to Cradle Valley.

Choosing a wedding venue is about so much more than looking at photographs or comparing quotations.

You need to walk through it.

You need to stand where you could say your vows, imagine your guests arriving, picture your tables filled with the people you love and experience how the venue actually feels.

Our September Venue Viewing Days give you the opportunity to do exactly that.

Take your time walking through our chapel, reception spaces, gardens and accommodation. Stand beside the water, explore the grounds and start imagining how your own wedding day could unfold.

Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to sit down with our team, talk about your ideas, your guest numbers and your budget, ask the questions that matter to you and allow us to help put together a wedding package that makes sense for your celebration.

There’s no rush and no pressure, just the opportunity to experience Cradle Valley properly.

Walk through our open-air chapel and imagine the moment you see one another at opposite ends of the aisle.

Take in the view across the water.

Picture your photographs amongst the gardens and natural surroundings.

Step into the reception venue and imagine the tables dressed, the candles lit, the music playing and everyone you love gathered together in one place.

Then wander through the Boma and outdoor areas and discover why so many couples fall in love with the relaxed, natural atmosphere of Cradle Valley.

Sometimes you simply have to stand in a venue before you know.

And This September, We’re Adding a Little Something Extra

We know that planning a wedding is a significant investment, and we want couples choosing Cradle Valley to feel that they are receiving exceptional value alongside the experience and service that comes with celebrating here.

That’s why couples who visit us and confirm their wedding booking during September 2026 will receive selected complimentary additions to their wedding quotation.

These added extras will be included at no additional charge, giving you even more value towards your celebration at Cradle Valley.

Because every wedding is different, the complimentary additions may vary according to your wedding package, date and requirements. Our team will explain exactly what can be included when preparing your personalised quotation.

It’s our little way of saying thank you for choosing Cradle Valley and of adding something extra to the beginning of your journey with us.

More Than a Venue it’s a Feeling

From your first viewing and planning meetings to the flowers and décor, food, accommodation and coordination of the wedding itself, our team is here to walk the journey with you.

We don’t simply want you to find a beautiful place to get married.

We want you to find the place where you can already picture it happening.

Come and Experience It for Yourself

Bring your partner. Bring your parents. Bring your maid of honour, best man or the person whose opinion you trust most.

Bring your questions, your Pinterest board, your ideas and even the things you haven’t quite figured out yet.

Then come and spend some time with us.

September Venue Viewing Days

• Sunday, 13 September 2026
• Sunday, 20 September 2026

Viewing appointments are limited so that every couple has enough time with our team. We therefore recommend booking your preferred viewing time in advance.

And remember, if you confirm your Cradle Valley wedding during September, we’ll add selected complimentary extras to your quotation, giving you even more value as you begin planning your day.

Spring is a season for new beginnings.

Perhaps this September, one of them will be yours.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Cradle Valley.
