Intimate Weddings at Mantons Creek Estate: A Fresh Chapter for a Hidden Peninsula Gem
There’s something undeniably charming about an intimate wedding — the kind of celebration where you recognise every face in the room, where conversations flow easily, and where the whole day feels like you’re gathering your favourite people for something truly meaningful. And now, with Mantons Creek Estate re-opening next week (complete with newly refreshed accommodation), this tucked-away Red Hill treasure is stepping into its next chapter… and it’s a beautiful one.
Nestled between rolling vines and quiet pockets of native bushland, Mantons Creek Estate has always had that “if you know, you know” energy. It’s a venue that feels like a secret, a hideaway, a place where your wedding day unfolds without hurry or noise — just calm countryside air, warm hospitality, and those soft vineyard views that make you want to exhale and stay a little longer.
With a seated capacity of 50–75 guests, Mantons is built for couples who want connection at the centre of their celebration. The kind of wedding where you can toast every table, hug every guest, and actually live inside the moments — instead of rushing through them. It’s intimate without feeling small, elegant without being formal, and beautifully European in spirit without trying too hard.
And the best part? The newly renovated accommodation.
For the first time, couples can now make a full weekend out of their celebration. Wake up slowly, get ready on-site, sip coffee overlooking the vines, and feel the day build around you. Afterwards, wander back to your room with that delicious “we really just did that” glow. Hosting everything in one place adds a layer of comfort and ease that couples always remember — no shuttles, no logistics, no stress. Just you, your people, and that long, dreamy Red Hill stillness.
Ceremonies at Mantons feel like a postcard come to life: soft light filtering across the property, rows of vines lining your aisle, and the sound of nature framing the moment. It’s simple, beautiful, and entirely yours.
Receptions, meanwhile, take on that warm, long-table energy the Peninsula is famous for. Candlelit dining, shared plates, and the kind of laughter that spills out into the night. Whether you lean romantic, rustic, modern, or minimalist, the estate has a way of shaping itself around your story — never overpowering, always complementing.
As wedding planners, creatives, and caterers, our Ever After Effect x Epicurean team love working here because Mantons gives us room to build experiences that feel personal. We can craft atmospheres that are casual but refined, meals that feel generous, and moments that feel intentional from start to finish.
Mantons Creek Estate is more than a venue.
It’s a retreat.
A small slice of countryside quiet.
A place where intimate weddings aren’t the “scaled-back” version — they’re the elevated version.
With new accommodation, a fresh look, and its doors reopening next week, Mantons is ready for its next season of love stories.
If an intimate, vineyard celebration feels like your kind of magic — we’d love to show you around.
