Sneaky’s Weddings
An award-winning Italian restaurant and wine bar in Angle Vale, with a vineyard ceremony on the Virgara Estate lawns right next door.
Getting married at Sneaky’s!?
What I’ve learned
Sneaky’s is the venue I point northern suburbs couples to when they want a vineyard ceremony without the drive to the Barossa or the Hills. It’s about 30 minutes north of the CBD, and for Tiarna and Corey both of them got ready close by, Corey in Gawler East and Tiarna in Angle Vale, so we spent the day filming, not driving.
The ceremony is on the Virgara Estate lawns with the vines behind you, then everyone heads next door to Sneaky’s. Tiarna and Corey had a 3pm ceremony, pre-dinner drinks and pizza on the lawn at 4pm, and their reception from 5pm.
Sneaky’s is a restaurant first, so the food is a highlight rather than an afterthought, and with a dedicated functions coordinator to plan it all with, it’s one of the easier venues for couples who don’t want to project manage their own wedding.
Fun facts
I’ve filmed at Sneaky’s in October and February, with another Sneaky’s wedding booked for March 2027.
It was named in the Top 10 for Restaurant Reception at the 2024 ABIA National awards.
Sneaky’s was the WIA SA Wedding Venue Reception winner in both 2022 and 2023.
It also placed 3rd for SA Restaurant Reception and was an SA Ceremony finalist at the 2023 ABIAs.
Ceremonies are held on the Virgara Estate lawns, with views across the vineyard.
Three reception options - the Wine Bar, the Main Restaurant or outdoors, plus micro-weddings for 20 to 40 guests.
I’ve worked alongside Kenzi St George Photography at Sneaky’s.
It’s at 143 Heaslip Road, Angle Vale, about 30 minutes north of the Adelaide CBD.

Tiarna and Corey married in late February, and we slipped out for last light photos at 7:40pm with sunset just after 8pm, then came straight back in for speeches and their first dance. That 20 minute window before speeches is the sweet spot at Sneaky’s in summer. In winter golden hour starts around 4:25pm in June, so a 2pm ceremony leaves time to head out for portraits in the best light before the reception kicks off.
Documentary wedding videographer, Adelaide.
I'm a wedding videographer based in Gawler. I've been doing this for 8 years now and have filmed over 200 weddings across Adelaide, the Barossa, the Hills and McLaren Vale.
When you book 22 Wedding Films, you get me. I'm the one who replies to your email, the one who turns up on the morning, and the one who finishes your film. No handing you off to someone you've never met.
I've been filming and documenting people since I was 15. I went full time about 8 years ago and I still get a kick out of it. Getting to film real people on one of the biggest days of their life is the best part of this job.
