The Best Wedding Venues in Regional NSW
Park Proxi Gibraltar Bowral
This picturesque hotel in the heart of the Southern Highlands is surrounded by tree-lined escarpments and stunning panoramic views, making it the perfect place to gather with family and friends to gather in style.
The hotel has also partnered with the famed Lotus Dining Group to offer an acclaimed Asian dining experience (with a hyper-local twist) for events. Guests can enjoy a blend of fan-favourite lotus dishes and beverages, mixed with new menu items that showcase the region’s amazingly fresh and locally-grown produce.
There are also eight flexible event spaces (we recommend the Gibraltar Ballroom for panoramic views and an open-air terrace…) to choose from for your special day.

Bimbadgen Palmers Lane
Tucked away in Pokolbin, The Lane Retreat stands as a serene haven mere moments from the Hunter Valley Gardens. This unassuming escape has a dedicated wedding space called Bimbadgen Palmers Lane, which has panoramic views of the mountain ranges. You can also have your ceremony at the top of the hill or between the lush vines.
The reception space features high ceilings and exposed beams and is versatile enough for a sit-down dinner, an al fresco affair overlooking the lake, or a more relaxed cocktail party.
With 60 studio retreats on the property, you and your wedding guests won’t run out of things to do with this Hunter Valley gem. You can unwind by the pool, enjoy wine in the peaceful outdoor areas, or discover gourmet delights at the Lane Pantry.

Rosedale Farm
If a rustic-chic farm setting speaks to your vision, then Rosedale Farm is the venue for you. This grandiose location is drenched in history, dating all the way back to 1846. In 2017, Rosedale underwent an extensive restoration with a strong European influence by interior and lifestyle stylist Steve Cordony and is now one of the most sought-after farm stays and wedding venues in NSW.
The sprawling grounds allow marquee space for up to 80 people. Or, for a more casual setting, the ‘old bakery’ provides a low-key outdoor dining space for 40 people. Each event space provides an elegant backdrop for a wedding, and the locations are only reserved for one function at a time, allowing exclusive use of the grounds.
