- NNikeisha & Jonathan18/02/2026Feasting Done PerfectlyFeasting Done PerfectlyDuart catered our wedding at Mewburn Park Homestead and they were incredible. We had only amazing compliments about the food and they were so easy to work with and helped us take take of the cake. We went for the feasting style with added canapés at cocktail hour and everything was great. I also stayed at the stables the night before the wedding and it was a beautiful accommodation with rustic charm.

- JJessica & Daniel18/02/2026Even the Rain Couldn’t Stop the MagicEven the Rain Couldn’t Stop the MagicMy partner and I Daniel held our wedding at Duart on the 8.02.25. We could not be more thankful for the team, a MASSIVE shout out to Jason and Shawn. Nothing was too big of an ask, and they were beyond accomodating for everything little thing we needed. Unfortunately it rained on our special day, but Duart still made it work. All I had ever wanted was a garden wedding and even in the pouring rain, their venue was beautiful.
