Centennial Vineyard
The Southern Highlands town of Bowral is home to one enchanted wedding venue known as Centennial Vineyards. It has an open main hall room with substantial wood beams and a hefty fireplace (perfect for winter). The rows of grape vines provide a beautiful backdrop, and the basement door and surrounding garden area are also epic. So many picturesque options for portraits because of the surrounding lovely open fields land to explore!
Centennial Vineyards provides a beautiful Tuscan vibe which I absolutely love. If vineyards is your jam - don’t forgot to put this on the list!

Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat
Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat is not your typical wedding venue - think of epic valley views with a bush style ceremony location carved out of rock. This place is such an unique location for couples wishing to celebrate their wedding in an environment and indulge in something genuinely special. In addition to the spectacular cathedral-like rock hollow where your wedding ceremony can be held, Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat also has a lovely deck overlooking the valley where you can have your cocktail and canape hour while enjoying the sunset view.
