Kelly – Founder & Director
Kelly founded the Solitaire Homestead in 2012 and over the years has strongly built the business to what it is today.
Through her passion in creating weddings to remember, Kelly has dedicated her time to making Solitaire Homestead a relaxing place full of laughter and happiness.
Aside from a business, Solitaire Homestead is also Kelly’s home, which is why it is even more important to her to ensure the property is a secluded and peaceful retreat.
As business has grown, Kelly has sought out team members to join her on the journey, calling on others to lend their own expertise.
This gorgous couple oozed warmth, energy and simply lit up the room. We were so blessed to host their wedding and be part of the many magic moments only the Irish can create.

Our cherished clients hosted a wedding that will forever be etched in our hearts. Their special day was a remarkable celebration of love, and we were truly honored to play a part in it. From the moment we stepped into the venue, the atmosphere was electric, filled with a palpable sense of joy and anticipation. Jess and Guy's union radiated a genuine, infectious happiness that filled every corner of the room. Their love story was a beacon of hope and happiness, and their wedding was an unforgettable testament to the power of love.

5-stars from Lauren following her wedding in March, 2024. Thankyou Lauren!
"Our wedding at Solitaire Homestead in March 2024 was an absolute dream come true! The venue is surrounded by gorgeous bushland, making it perfect for stunning photos. The natural setting was just beautiful and added a magical touch to our day.
Jess, our wedding coordinator, was fantastic. She was incredibly helpful in the lead-up to the wedding, making sure we had everything sorted. On the day itself, Jess made sure everything ran smoothly, so we could just enjoy the moment without any stress.
Solitaire made our lives so much easier by letting us drop off everything the day before the wedding. This was a huge help and kept us from running around on the big day. Plus, they took care of packing everything up the next day, which saved us a ton of stress when we were feeling a bit dusty!
The two guest houses on the property were a huge bonus. They allowed our elderly grandparents to have a comfy place to sleep while still being part of the celebration. It was such a relief knowing they could rest and enjoy the day without any hassle.
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue and an awesome coordinator, Solitaire Homestead and Jess are the way to go. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"

"We got Married here in April 2022 and made full use of the beautiful Homestead, Shed, and Ceremony area. It was the BEST day of our lives and just the BEST venue. We would definitely recommend staying at the Homestead if getting married there, it is so well laid out and so convenient. We will definitely be booking in again for our anniversary : My new husband and I also really appreciated the freedom our VIP (Very Important Puppy) Pippa had around the Homestead and the Shed, which really made our day. Many comments were made by our guests on how beautiful it all was. They especially loved the fire pit! We are so grateful to Jess for organising the event, and to the owners Kelly and Nico for having us, our dog, and our motley crew. Not to mention all of the amazing staff at Solitaire! This all contributed to the happiest day of our lives."

Two incredible individuals blessed us with the opportunity to be part of their remarkable wedding day. Their celebration was nothing short of amazing, a testament to their love that left everyone in awe. From the moment we met this dynamic couple, it was clear that their connection was something truly special. Working with Madi and Jarrod to create an atmosphere of romance and elegance was an absolute pleasure. Their wedding day was a breathtaking affair, where love and joy radiated in every direction. We feel immensely grateful to have played a role in crafting such a stunning and romantic atmosphere, and we'll forever cherish the memories of their exceptional day.

Another 5-star review!
"To Kelly and the entire Solitaire crew, thank you all so much! Jake and I married at Solitaire in November and the whole experience; the lead up and the actual day was incredible. The day ran exactly to plan, but it was also easy and enjoyable, with moments where we could relax, stand back and enjoy. Guests continue to comment on the amazing crew at Solitaire, who were so happy to help, were kind and attentive and that the whole day appeared to run 'so easily'. The venue is beautiful, but also allows you to add your own small elements to suit your vision. Huge and sincere thank you again Solitaire team, bunch of legends!!"
