“Established by Ruth and Alan Irving in 1979, Al Ru Farm has become a landmark in the South Australian garden and event industry arenas. Just 40 minutes from the CBD and nestled between the Barossa Valley and the Adelaide Hills, Al Ru Farm offers all the charm of a country farm in a truly convenient location.

Originally purchased to keep a heard of stud cattle, Ruth and Alan ’ s modest home became the canvas for a romantic escape that has flourished for over 40 years to a garden that now sprawls, luxuriously, across ten acres of unspoiled paradise.” – Al-Ru Farm

What I love most about Al Ru Farm is that it’s stunning all year round – there’s never an off-season. No matter when you visit, it’s always one of the most beautiful venues you’ll ever see. On top of that, it’s incredibly convenient thanks to the onsite accommodation.

For the getting-ready photos, it doesn’t matter whether the boys are in the International Suite or the girls are in the Garden Pavilion – everything is only a 1min walk to any of the ceremony locations on the property. It makes the whole day incredibly stress free.

There is also absolutely no need to go offsite for sunset photos either. As any other alternative nearby by, would be envious of what Al-Ru Farm has to offer. Incredible gardens, picturesque lily pond and a very photogenic glass house.
