Outdoor Wedding Venues in NSW

The most beautiful outdoor wedding venues in NSW offer a diverse collection of places to get married in nature. Whether you're looking for a garden venue, courtyard, local park or private beach for your nuptials, or an outdoor reception space where you can dine under the stars, New South Wales has many amazing venues to hire for outdoor weddings.

Garden wedding venues, farms, private estates and bush wedding venues are particularly popular locations for outdoor weddings across all regions of NSW. And for good reason. There’s no place to get married that’s more relaxing or fun as under sunny blue skies with the hint of a warm summer breeze. 

Most of the outdoor wedding locations on this list offer a wet weather solution in the event of rain on your wedding day. Wet weather ceremony and reception venues are either outdoor covered areas such as verandahs or pavilions, or fully enclosed venues repurposed for the occasion. If there is no wet weather solution onsite, most venues will offer offsite alternatives.

Many ceremony and reception venues offer wedding packages that include free hire of tables, chairs and other furnishings specifically for use in their outdoor event areas. If you’re looking for cheaper wedding venues, places that provide free use of outdoor furniture with venue hire will save on your overall wedding budget.

The majority of the following outdoor wedding venues provide alfresco areas for both your ceremony and reception. Some places offer a choice of outside locations so you can choose the best spot to suit the style of your outdoor wedding. Without further ado, here are the 65 best outdoor wedding venues in NSW.

Awesome Barn Wedding Venues in NSW

Barns wedding venues have recently become highly sought after across Australia as more couples look for unique reception spaces for their big day. With demand for barn venues, sheds and other rustic wedding locations at an all time high, so too is supply, with some of the country's most amazing barn & shed wedding venues available to hire right here in NSW. 

Amongst the state's most beautiful barn wedding spaces are restored hay sheds, repurposed shearing sheds and horse stables that ooze country charm. With exposed wooden beams, timber floors and corrugated & wrought iron features these luxe rustic spaces lend a relaxed and festive atmosphere to off-the-grid weddings. 

In addition to rustic style wedding barns, NSW now also has an amazing choice of purpose-built, modern event barns including industrial style sheds and American & Hamptons inspired spaces. White walls, high ceilings, exposed wooden beams, floor to ceiling glass windows and large glass sliding doors make these light filled venues the perfect blank canvas to style to your own preference.

Barns and sheds are wonderfully unique wedding venues that offer a relaxed setting for fun events. They're typically atmospheric spaces oozing in moody character and are easily styled with a few rugs, a pair of velvet couches and a personalised neon sign to create a warm, inviting and romantic reception space. 

One of the great things about the farm venues where these wedding barns are located is that they almost always have accommodation onsite, offering the perfect country location for extended all-inclusive celebrations. From working cattle farms to private properties to exclusive farm stays, these are the best barn wedding venues in NSW.

A barn venue is a wonderful choice for couples who want their wedding to be relaxed and fun with the ceremony and reception all in one place. Most of the properties on this list provide accommodation onsite too, so that you can stay the night before your wedding, get ready onsite in the morning and wander ‘home’ after your wedding reception.

With many properties available for your exclusive use for the entire weekend, barn and shed venues offer a very private and intimate setting where you can enjoy the company of your guests for an extended wedding celebration. And while barn weddings are popular, they’re certainly very unique. Having your wedding in a barn or shed is not a celebration that the two of you, or your guests, will quickly forget. 

Some of the barn wedding venues listed above are among the most popular wedding locations in NSW. They often book out quickly and we recommend making enquiries 8 months to 2 years in advance. The longer the lead time, the more likely you are to secure your preferred wedding date at your favourite barn venue.
