About Al Ru Farm
Al Ru Farm is a wedding venue at 1016 One Tree Hill Road, Sampson Flat, on a country property that Alan and Ruth established in 1979. Ruth's gardens now spread across about ten acres and have been opened to visitors through Open Gardens SA. The estate hosts one wedding at a time, so couples have the grounds, the European-style homestead and the reception areas to themselves. Ceremony, canapés, reception and photos can all happen without leaving the property. The homestead lawn in front of the old house holds up to 200 guests for an open-air canapé reception. The barn hosts receptions, and the hayshed works as overflow space, a wet-weather ceremony option or a canapé area in its own right. Smaller weddings of up to 45 guests suit the Garden Pavilion, a French-inspired suite set in a private garden, while celebrations of more than 220 can use the lake lawn with a marquee. The glass house, built with windows taken from a French cottage, is a favourite spot for photographs. Packages are all-inclusive, and couples bring their own drinks. Four accommodation suites on the property mean the wedding party can stay close by.
