A private wedding weekend venue at Sylvan Glen Estate
Space, time and the people you love in one place
The way weddings happen here
A private wedding weekend at Sylvan Glen takes place over three days, not just a few hours.
People arrive, settle in, and stay. Nothing is rushed because there’s time before the ceremony, time after it, and space in between for everything that isn’t planned: the moments that often matter most!
The arrival
Guests arrive to one place and settle in. There’s no transferring between venues, no tight arrival window, no urgency. Our very cool 61-seater bus is included to pick up and drop off your additional off-site guests in nearby Bundanoon.
Make an enquiry >The ceremony
Outdoor or in? Choose any space on the property or go with our most popular options of the 150-years-old orchard setting or indoor stone bush chapel. All options are available on our brochure.

Each wedding here carries its own rhythm. We were delighted to welcome all these couples and make their private wedding weekend unforgettable.
We wanted to send a huge thank you to you all for this weekend. Everyone had an amazing time, and we couldn't have asked anything more from you. The food was outstanding, changing the ceremony location wasn't a problem at all, the guest house and scribbly cottage were loved by all, and nothing was too much trouble for anyone.

Donna and the team at Sylvan Glen were absolutely amazing! It was the only venue we looked at, and we fell in love instantly! Donna and the team took away all the stress during the planning period and on our wedding day. They created a stunning reception room that exceeded our expectations. There was so much included in the package, and we loved the secluded location. The accommodation and bridal suite were stunning and very comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone!

The whole venue is stunning, and although it rained the backup wet weather room is so beautifully setup that we didn’t feel like we were missing out on anything. Donna and all the staff are so lovely and were such a calming influence the whole weekend, they have the whole process so down pat you literally don’t have to think about a thing on the day. Thanks again guys we had the best day Xx

Our package included everything - catering, bride and groom accommodation, golf cart hire, wedding coordinator, bus to pick up and drop off guests from Bundanoon, equipment hire, etc. Couldn't fault them. It was magical and relaxed. Nothing was too hard. The food for the entire weekend was included. Donna (the owner) was fantastic. The rooms were all decorated differently and the bridal suite was beautiful. Would have liked filtered water available through the weekend though as the water from the taps didn't taste great. I loved having my immediate family with me the entire weekend. The food was plentiful with canapes, entree, main and dessert buffet with tea and coffee on offer and alternate drop. The food was delicious and no one went home hungry. They even made the effort to bring a plate of canapes down to the bridal party whilst we took photos. Everything was great!

A group of us from Sydney have been coming to Sylvan Glen for a Christmas in July weekend for 3 years now. Matt and his team could not be more accommodating and hospitable. They organized an amazing 'Christmas dinner' in their Clubhouse which was amazing. No amount of detail was spared and everyone had a great time. Great job guys, we look forward to seeing you again next year!
