  • Wedding Packages: DIY/BYO

Glencara is a brand new addition to the best gay wedding venues in NSW, bringing a unique rustic maze to country garden parties. This vibrant 10 hectare farm is located in the hilltops region of NSW near Young and centres around an historic farmhouse where a series of outdoor rooms provide interactive riddles and other fun things to explore with a glass of wine in hand.

Weddings at Glencara are best celebrated in the side seasons when the weather is temperate and the surrounding paddocks are either lush green with wheat fields in Autumn or bright yellow with Canola in Spring. Facilities include an outdoor reception lawn, space for a marquee, a rustic wedding barn and a romantic cottage for two.
