FAQs
Question
What is Black Tie Optional?
Answer
You may be wondering whether black tie means strictly tuxedos for men and black dresses for women. For us, black tie optional simply means elegant, formal evening wear. Guests are encouraged to embrace classic styles, such as a black/dark suit or tuxedo with a white dress shirt and black necktie or bow tie for men, and a floor length gown or evening dress for ladies in any colour you love and feel great in.
Question
What do we do between the Ceremony and Reception?
Answer
There will be a short gap between the Ceremony and Reception to allow the newly married couple to take some photos on their special day. If you'd like to stay in the area during this time, we highly recommend venturing to the Sandalford Cellar or Restaurant on site for a drink in between events, or alternatively please see a list of Wineries below that are close by to have a cheeky drink or bite to eat.

Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
We love your little ones dearly, but for one night only, our wedding will be a grown ups only celebration, due to capacity. We really hope you enjoy a night off to relax, dance, and celebrate with us, and we really appreciate your understanding.
Question
Will the Events be Indoors?
Answer
With the weather permitting, the Ceremony will be held outside on the beautiful grounds of Sandalford Winery. Alternatively, if the skies do decide to open and rain, the ceremony will be moved indoors to the Sandalera room. The Reception will be held indoors in the Estate Room at Sandalford Winery, with an outdoor decking area available for guests wanting a little fresh air.
Question
Will the Reception be a Sit down or Cocktail style event?
Answer
The reception will be a seated event, featuring a beautifully prepared three course dinner. Margaret River wines will be served along with beers, sparkling, and a selection of non‑alcoholic beverages, ending with tea and coffee. Please let us know of any dietary requirements when you RSVP.
Question
Will there be Dancing?
Answer
Pffft, do you even need to ask? All we ask is that you join us and help tear up the dance floor.
