A Wine Country Wedding

The Ceremony

The Hunter Valley Resort is a family owned and

Entry to our function area is via a rustic wooden bridge

operated 4 star property. It is the combination

over a beautiful pond with running water. With your

of that personal family touch and years of

guests gathered around the edge of the pond it creates

experience in hospitality both here in Australia

an ideal setting for sharing your vows.

and internationally that make us an ideal venue


for a day as special as a Wedding. You want to
have nothing to stress about on your day!!

Alternatively, set in our lawns is a pergola. This setting


is best suited for smaller more intimate ceremonies.
Also onsite is the Matilda Bay Brewhouse + Dining
(open 10am till late) and the Hunter Wine Theatre
(open 10am-5pm). It is the perfect location for your
guests to mingle after the ceremony whilst you are
having photographs taken.
Following photographs, there is plenty of lawn area for
you to catch up with your guests and enjoy a glass of
bubbles before heading into your reception.
If you require assistance in obtaining a celebrant then
please let us know.

and the backdrop of the Brokenback Ranges.
Whether you wish to have your ceremony on site
or simply join us for your reception you certainly
will have the backdrop for a Wine Country
Wedding.
This kit will outline what is included in our
packages as well as what is not. For those details
we do not provide onsite, we have plenty of
contacts on hand to assist you with your
planning.
