About

Overview & Vibe

Sandalford is a 182-year-old estate on West Swan Road at Caversham, the Swan Valley’s grandest wedding address and one of the few in the region that can seat several hundred. Four indoor rooms and four ceremony lawns mean the scale of the day is genuinely a choice, from 15 in a private dining room to 350 in a pillarless ballroom.

Setting & Style

Each reception room pairs with its own ceremony lawn. The Estate Room is bespoke and pillarless with sweeping views over lawns, lake and vineyards, and takes the Merlot Lawn. The Oak Room is walled with oak barrels under ceiling drapes and a wrought-iron chandelier, paired with the Chenin Lawn. Sandalera sits in the old underground wine cellar lined with American oak barrels that once held aged port, paired with Hill House. The Vintage Room is three long wooden tables beside the restaurant, for the smallest weddings, with the Verdelho Lawn.

Ideal For

Couples wanting a large, formal Swan Valley wedding with everything on one estate — and equally, couples wanting fifteen people around a wooden table at the same address.
