We Are Breaking the Rules...

After a decade in the wedding industry, with over 1000 weddings under our belt, we have come to the strong belief that you should not have to sell your first born rights to have an exceptional wedding.

In fact, we believe that couples overspend on details that have no true value - yes - we are making bold statements. Because we have the experience to back it up and a strong desire to change weddings as we know it.

So after 11 years, we have shifted from a husband and wife duo doing photo and film, to wedding planning, and then to full wedding services at our very own wedding venue.

Credit to the original creator. Our Marquess has been ordered and is being created on the exact specifics of this example. Draping will be included in our venue hire.

Where other venues come to take notes ...

The Venue Lumier is set on a wide, open garden that feels both natural and intentional - a canvas for unforgettable celebrations. On the property, you’ll find a charming building with a private bridal suite and two indoor spaces that can be used exactly as you imagine - from getting ready rooms to cozy lounge areas or even a spot for late-night dancing. For the ceremony and reception, - you can choose to have it outside, or we create an elegant marquee tent, fully draped to feel both intimate and grand. Every part of the space is designed with one goal in mind: to give you and your guests an experience that feels seamless, thoughtful, and unlike anything attended before. With weddings capped at 50 people, we’re able to make every detail personal and every moment a real celebration.

Exclusively for the bold, the brave, and the little bit wild...

What we do at Venue Lumier isn’t for everyone — and we like it that way. after tending to over 1000 cookie-cutter weddings, - our weddings are designed for couples who are ready to let go of the “rulebook” and embrace something entirely their own. If you’re looking for a bespoke, deeply personal, and undeniably classy celebration - then you’ll feel right at home here.

Ordinary Isn’t on Our Guest List...

At The Venue Lumier, we reject the idea that the price tag of your wedding equals an exceptional wedding.

For us, an exquisite wedding is about peace and joy for our couples, connection with friends and family, exceptional creativity, and guest experiences that linger long after the last song is played.

So we bring you affordability, exceptional service, and extravagant details that will have you - and your guests - talk about your wedding for years to come.

It's A New Way to Celebrate...

We don’t see weddings as staged productions. We see them as human gatherings, where love and joy belong at the center. Every decision we’ve made — from live music to the way food is served — is about turning weddings into experiences that people talk about for years.

The Venue Lumier is not just a place to say “I do.” It’s a rebellion against the cookie-cutter wedding industry. It’s a space designed for people who want more meaning and less fuss, more joy and less performance, more beauty and less pretense.

Extraordinary, Fancy Details...

From draping that has never been seen before,

sipping drinks that arrive smoking in glassware, or hearing live music that feels like it’s being played just for you - we prioritise the experience above all things. Picture family-style meals being placed right onto the table where you’re seated — warm, abundant, and shared in laughter. This is what weddings should feel like: alive, generous, and unforgettable. We love weaving in unexpected details — like inviting your guests to paint during the evening, creating a piece of art for you to take home. It’s not just about décor, it’s about exceptional memories being created in real time.

No to one night stands...

Introducing a rehearsal dinner! The evening before your wedding is the perfect way to ease into the celebrations and spend even more meaningful time with your closest family and friends. It creates space for heartfelt speeches and toasts in an intimate setting, so that formalities can be enjoyed without taking away from the flow of your wedding day. Beyond this, the rehearsal dinner can be a relaxed gathering filled with laughter, storytelling, and the blending of families and friends. It’s also the ideal moment to hand out thank-you gifts, share a slideshow of memories, and do a last dance as an engaged couple - or even the bride with her dad before she gets married.

By starting the celebration early, you extend the joy of your wedding into a fuller experience of connection, love, and unforgettable memories.

Welcome with a wow...

We love creating unforgettable first impressions, which is why we’ll be serving beautifully presented smoking welcome drinks to your guests. These captivating drinks, infused with dry ice for a dramatic mist effect, set the tone for an extraordinary celebration right from the start. It’s more than just a refreshment—it’s a showpiece that adds a touch of magic and excitement as your guests arrive, instantly drawing them into the enchanting atmosphere of your wedding day.

Creative, eternal, keepsakes...

Imagine arriving at your wedding pre-reception and being welcomed by a blank canvas waiting to be transformed. With brushes and paints laid out, your guests are invited to leave their creative mark, adding strokes, splashes, or doodles that together form a one-of-a-kind artwork. This collaborative piece becomes more than just a painting—it’s a memory captured through the hands of your loved ones, blending everyone’s personalities into a beautiful keepsake you’ll treasure forever.

Creative, eternal, keepsakes...

As part of your wedding experience, we will set up a beautifully styled portrait station where each guest will have the opportunity to be photographed in timeless black and white. These elegant portraits capture the personality and presence of your loved ones in a way that feels both classic and artistic. After the wedding, every guest will receive their digital portrait as a lasting keepsake, with the option to have their image professionally printed on site for an additional fee—turning a simple photograph into a treasured memento of your special day.

In addition, we create a film guest book for your guests - they get to record a film message for you that we deliver after the wedding.

Let Them Eat… Anything but Cake

White tiered wedding cakes are yesterday. Step into the Lumier way with a Pavlova that you decorate with your newly married love, as opposed to or in addition to cutting it. Or opt for cake pops decorated in your theme - our brownie cake pops is definitely something to

consider.

All-Inclusive Simplicity...

Weddings are stressful when couples are expected to juggle dozens of suppliers, endless checklists, and hidden costs. We flipped that script. At The Venue Lumier, you bring your wedding dress, the groom’s suit, and your rings. We handle the rest - the music, the food, the décor, the flow of the day. You simply arrive ready to celebrate.
