Arielle and Jarrod met at a local football club in 2016 and have been inseparable ever since.

After travelling South America together, Jarrod enlisted the help of their two golden retrievers to propose to Arielle at their home in 2019. Having grown up in the McLaren Vale region, Arielle knew it would be a hard task choosing between all the beautiful venues the region has to offer for their wedding. But in early 2020 Arielle’s dad mentioned a new venue he’d delivered building supplies to – that venue was The Vine Shed.

At their first visit, The Vine Shed was still an incomplete, empty building and the landscaping was still to be done. Despite this, Arielle and Jarrod could see the amazing potential the venue held and knew it was right for their day. They put down their deposit before the venue was finished, but their leap of faith certainly paid off. ‘The team at The Vine Shed were very professional and a pleasure to deal with. They went above and beyond to make our special day perfect,’ says Arielle. The rustic charm, beautiful lawns and sprawling vines of The Vine Shed made their wedding day a dream come true. And with guests enjoying the culinary skills of Willunga local Chef Steele, it was an unforgettable evening for all.
