About Marybank Estate
Marybank is a family estate on Montacute Road in Rostrevor, in the foothills east of the city. The homestead dates to 1842, and the sixth generation of the same family now runs the property as a wedding venue, a small vineyard and a B&B. Weddings take over the whole place. From midday Friday until midday Sunday the gardens, vineyard, heritage barn and the Barn Loft belong to one couple, with only one wedding held each weekend. Ceremonies usually happen on the lawns or the garden steps, with the barn held as the wet-weather option. Receptions run in and around the barn, its verandah and a deck strung with festoon lights, and the estate takes up to 150 guests cocktail style or 100 seated. A coordinator from the venue's planning partner is part of every Estate Weekend, looking after the run sheet, suppliers and pack-down. Food and drinks come from the estate's exclusive caterer, with signature cocktails, a whisky or gin bar, coffee vans and late-night snacks all possible through them. Dancing usually happens on the brick courtyard in front of the barn, with the DJ set up under the verandah. Music finishes at 11.30pm and guests leave by midnight, and the couple stays both nights in the loft upstairs.

A cocktail wedding can take 150 guests, and a seated one 100. The caterer's minimum is 50 guests for a weekend wedding.
What does the Estate Weekend include?
Exclusive use of the gardens, vineyard, barn and Barn Loft from 12pm Friday to 12pm Sunday, a wedding coordinator, and a Friday-afternoon rehearsal where up to 20 guests get sparkling wine and a grazing platter.

Can we bring our own caterer or drinks?
No. The estate's exclusive caterer handles food and drinks service, or an approved bar service. Drinks can only be brought in if they are supplied through that caterer.
What is the finish time?
Venue hire ends at 11.30pm, when music and the celebration wrap up. All guests need to be off the property by midnight.
What happens if the weather turns?
The heritage barn is set aside as the ceremony backup, and it has evaporative cooling for hot days. Umbrellas, a clear marquee over the deck and heaters can also be hired.
