Wedding Venue 

Ica Station Homestead is the perfect place for a picturesque garden wedding that every guest will talk about for years.  We offer weddings ranging from small intimate gatherings to large marquee weddings.  We allow you to book the venue and 'do-it-all' yourselves, or we can help with the use of our experienced and recommended caterers and marquee hire company.  Whatever you need, this venue can accommodate your own unique requirements.  Our hire prices DO NOT include the cost of food, drinks or marquee hire, as we prefer you to decide 'who or what' you want, at a price to suit you!
Unrivaled Open Air Space
There's plenty of room for a marquee and parking for guests.  Surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens with sweeping steps and boxed hedges.  Ica Station Homestead originally built in 1866, is a perfect backdrop for photographs, with countryside  and lake views to the front.  With exclusive use of the venue and accommodation, we guarantee the venue to your invited guests only.  As Ica Station Homestead is a family home, we ask that all viewings are made by prior appointment.
