The Flow of a Three-Day Wedding at Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat

When most people think of a wedding, they imagine a whirlwind single day packed with ceremony, reception, and farewells. At Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat (KVBR), weddings unfold differently. Here, couples and their loved ones are invited to slow down, settle in, and celebrate across three magical days surrounded by ancient escarpments, sandstone formations, and native bushland.

This unique wedding flow transforms the experience from a rushed schedule into a shared retreat; giving you more time, more connection, and more memories.

Day One: Arrival and Welcome

The wedding weekend begins with an arrival that feels more like stepping into a holiday than a formal event. Guests check into cabins and settle into the rhythm of the retreat. With no transport logistics or city noise, the atmosphere is instantly relaxed.

Many couples host welcome drinks on the Sunset Deck or a casual BBQ under the stars, followed by stories and laughter around the Boma firepit. This evening sets the tone; communal, joyful, and deeply connected to nature.

Day Two: Ceremony and Celebration

On the wedding morning, there’s no rush. Guests wake to the sound of birdsong and panoramic bush views. Some wander the trails, others share coffee on decks, while the wedding party begins preparations in their cabins.

The ceremony at the Rock Cathedral is the heart of the weekend. Surrounded by towering sandstone and eucalyptus trees, couples exchange vows in one of Australia’s most breathtaking natural chapels.

Afterwards, guests gather for sparkling drinks and canapés while the newlyweds take portraits around the retreat. The celebration flows seamlessly into the Pavilion reception, where dining, speeches, and dancing unfold without interruption. When the stars emerge, the party continues outdoors; a uniquely KVBR moment.

Day Three: Farewell and Reflection

The final day is unhurried and heartfelt. Guests gather once more for a farewell breakfast or brunch, often sharing stories from the night before and soaking in the last views of the escarpments. Some couples plan a recovery lunch or lawn games, while others let guests wander the bush before departing.

Instead of quick goodbyes in a carpark, farewells at KVBR are warm, slow, and full of connection.
