Why Your Wedding at La Mare Will Be Eco-Friendly
Weddings are magical, unforgettable celebrations, but they can also come with a hefty environmental price tag. Research from the Sustainable Wedding Alliance suggests that the average wedding emits a staggering 14,500 kg of CO2 equivalents (that’s 14.5 tons of greenhouse gases). Thankfully, with a few thoughtful choices, you can cut your wedding’s emissions in half—and still have the day of your dreams.
And here’s an exciting bonus: hosting your wedding at La Mare Wine Estate takes sustainability a step further. We’re proud to be carbon negative! Through eco-friendly practices, efficient energy use, and natural carbon sequestration, we offset 77.03 tonnes of CO₂e annually—far exceeding our total emissions of 41.65 tonnes. That’s a net balance of -35.38 tonnes of CO₂e per year.
Love Big, Leave Small (Footprints)
Every aspect of your celebration at La Mare is designed with sustainability in mind. From how we grow our grapes to how we light up your dance floor, we’re proud to be part certified with the Organic Soil Association and LEAF meaning we’ve met some seriously rigorous standards for being green.
