What our couples say
After visiting Ratho Farm, we stopped looking at other venues. A uniquely Tasmanian setting with flexible, individualised weddings and exceptional staff. Communication was easy, our ideas were embraced, and the homestead, atrium and gardens were stunning. We’ll be back.
Simon & Taylor
From start to finish, our wedding at Ratho was magical. I emailed constantly and never felt like a pest. The blank canvas venue, oak tree ceremony and beautiful atrium were perfect. The team felt like family throughout.
Olivia & Daniel
As a wedding photographer, Ratho Farm is one of my favourite Tasmanian venues. The open fields, river, animals and indoor reception spaces photograph beautifully. The staff are consistently welcoming and helpful, creating a seamless experience for couples.
