Wedding estates in NSW are exclusive use venues that can be hired for private celebrations. Wedding estates provide an intimate and unique place to get married where your wedding ceremony, photos & reception are all in the one location. Most private estates also have accommodation onsite which is included in the venue hire fee.
In NSW, wedding estates are available to rent either with DIY & BYO packages where you bring your own suppliers or as part of an all inclusive deal where everything including catering is provided for you. Most private estates that allow weddings onsite are DIY however you will find a mix of both in Sydney, and along the North Coast & South Coast of NSW.
There's a vast range of wedding Estates in NSW including weekend wedding venues where some or all guests can stay, venues with accommodation for 100 guests, luxury houses of various sizes and Airbnbs. On the list below you'll find exclusive-use resorts, waterfront estates, country cottages and heritage homesteads.
Estate wedding venues are unique locations by virtue of their setting & exclusivity, and offer guests an experience that differs vastly from more common places to get married. Estate weddings often have an air of unique luxury about them, and they're fun, intimate and memorable.

The overall budget for an estate wedding at the luxury venues listed above usually start at around $80k in peak wedding season. Weddings with under 50 guests and mid-week weddings can often attract a discount.
If you're on a tighter budget, estates that allow BYO catering and drinks often provide the cheapest options. Start your venue search with private estates that have a permanent indoor reception space so as to avoid the cost of marquee hire. Wedding estates that provide cutlery, plates, arbors, chairs and tables will also save on hire costs.
For couples hunting an affordable wedding estate we recommend starting your search on the South Coast. At the other end of the budget spectrum, the Hunter Valley has several of the most luxurious wedding estates in NSW.
