St Josephs Guesthouse

St Joseph’s Guesthouse is a unique wedding venue in the Lower Macdonald Valley that was built from the ruins of a 160 year old Catholic Church. The award winning 5 bedroom property is just 90 minutes from Sydney and is one of the best small wedding destinations in NSW.

The original church bell hangs over the front sandstone steps of St Joseph’s Guesthouse and still works today. You can get married underneath the bell or inside surrounded by original stone relics. The ground floor function area is an intimate and atmospheric space that seats up to 60 guests or caters for cocktail functions of up to 100,

The flat lawns surrounding St Joseph's Guesthouse are perfect for outdoor wedding receptions and marquees are permitted on the property. Festival style celebrations are particularly well suited against the dramatic backdrop of the church’s exterior and peaceful St Albans surrounds.
