Wedding Blog

Farm wedding venues are in plentiful supply in NSW, with a growing number of rural properties making their farmhouses, paddocks, barns and sheds available to hire for farm weddings. From working cattle & sheep farms to flower farms and ranches, New South Wales has one of Australia's largest choice of farm wedding locations.

If you’re tossing up whether to hire a farm wedding venue there are plenty of benefits. Farm weddings offer a unique intimacy that brings family & friends together like you've never been apart. And with farmhouses, country homesteads or a glamping village onsite, farm stay wedding venues offer an amazing opportunity to spend an extended few days enjoying the company of loved ones.

Getting married at a farm is logistically easy too. Farm venues don’t have parking meters, parking rangers or even painted parking spots. Just drive on in - and don’t block the gate. Easy.

What makes farm weddings in NSW a favourite with us is the incredible versatility these rural properties offer to create your own unique celebration. Amazing places to get married at farms in NSW include manicured gardens, open air chapels, waterfront locations such as dams and quiet running brooks, at rustic ruins and with acres of paddocks as a picturesque backdrop.

For your farm wedding reception NSW has many stunning locations including both indoor & outdoor settings. From repurposed sheds renovated into beautiful barn wedding venues, to long tables styled for a celebration under the stars, there's no blank canvas venues quite as versatile, intimate and unique as the farm wedding locations across New South Wales.

Without further ado, here are 50 amazing farm wedding venues in NSW.

About Farm Weddings in NSW

Over the last few years many couples have opted out of an urban wedding preferring instead the laid back country landscape as a backdrop for their special day. Farm wedding venues also provide a wonderful opportunity to DIY & BYO everything from food & beverage to styling. The glossy pages of Australia’s wedding magazines are regularly adorned with detailed images of beautifully styled spaces framed by unexpected country landscapes. Regional locations lend something different to weddings, which is perhaps why farms are now highly sought after venues.

Farm weddings became popular when rustic barns and converted hay sheds began popping up on Pinterest. Jars of hand picked flowers, cheese platters on tree stumps and hessian table runners took over and #rusticweddinginspo was the social media tag to follow. Rural councils received a flurry of applications from NSW landowners wanting to become wedding venues. Farm venues started to become more plentiful and easier to find.

Since the birth of the unique shed wedding we've seen the innovation of horse stable weddings, outdoor & undercover cattle yard weddings, flower farm ceremonies and reception venues made of all sorts of other repurposed rural amenities and structures.

Several purpose built barns have sprung up across the NSW landscape in recent years offering a modern and edgy option so that you can now have a shed wedding without the rustic hashtag. These modern wedding barns have the benefit of being truly blank canvases that you can decorate however you like.

Highland cattle at Lonely Goat Olives in the Hunter Valley.

Farm Stays and farmlets are another great option for a relaxed country wedding and come with all sorts of animals in residence. The difference between a farm stay or farmlet and a proper working farm is in the size of the herd. Or flock. Or huddle - which incidentally, is the collective noun for a group of walrus. Not a farm animal exactly, but essential trivia knowledge nonetheless. #MostImpressiveAnswer-of-the-Night!

One of the best things about farm weddings is that they provide a unique opportunity to have an extended celebration across an entire weekend. Farm venues usually offer exclusive use of the entire property and most have accommodation onsite. Hence, a farm wedding is a great opportunity to bring everyone together for an extended period to enjoy the company of loved ones, including at pre-wedding and post-wedding events. 

Farm weddings are as unique and memorable as they are relaxed and fun. Pick your favourite farm venues from the above list and enquire early. They book out fast. Happy planning.
