Darlington Estate is one of the prettiest venues around Perth. This deal seems pretty good, if you can cope with the Tues - Thursday condition of the deal. I believe Groupon has a no questions asked 7 day refund policy in case you need to nail down some details and end up not liking what you hear.
The restaurant was at one point my absolute favourite out of Perth restaurants. It was sold a number of years ago and although the food was great, it didn't feel quite as special. It has been a few years, so not sure about the quality of the food now. What I had would have been better than any function food I have had so I would say it would beat any "function centre".
One thing to watch out for is that there is a 3 hour drinks package and it is for the first three hours. I'd be making sure that the ceremony doesn't count as part of that three hours.
If I were interested in getting married and was willing to do a wedding (I guess you could have a non traditional ceremony or no ceremony), this deal would really appeal to me.
Here are the details, you might be able to cut a deal with them directly:
