Jessica & Jed’s wedding was a special one for us too, as they were the lucky winners of our wedding giveaway with Channel 7 last year. From the moment they arrived, the scenery took their breath away, with the Rock Cathedral, Sunset Deck and reception space creating a beautiful and memorable setting for the day. Staying onsite for two nights and three days meant they could slow down, settle in and enjoy the experience with their guests, including yoga on the Sunset Deck on the morning of the wedding. With Jack and Sorcha helping everything run smoothly, from ceremony seating to sparklers, firewood and the little moments in between, the weekend unfolded with ease, warmth and all the magic Jessica & Jed had hoped for.

In their own words:

"We cannot recommend Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat highly enough for anyone dreaming of the perfect wedding. From the moment we arrived, the scenery completely took our breath away truly unlike any other wedding venue in Australia. The Bush Cathedral, Sunset Deck, and reception function area were all absolutely stunning and created the most magical atmosphere for

our special day.

What made the experience even more incredible was being able to stay for two nights and three days, allowing us to truly soak in every moment. The onsite accommodation was wonderful and thoughtfully designed for weddings, with everything you could possibly need irons, steamers, and beautiful spaces that made getting ready effortless and enjoyable.

The organisation and care from the venue managers, Jack & Sorcha, were beyond exceptional. From ensuring guests were perfectly seated for the ceremony, to lighting sparklers later in the evening, nothing was overlooked. Sorcha even held my bouquet before I walked down the aisle, and checking into accommodation was seamless and stress-free. They weren't just managers they became a special part of our wedding journey. Jack had the firewood stacked and ready, and together they made all of our guests feel welcomed

and cared for.

We feel incredibly blessed to have had the most magical, dream wedding at Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat. The beauty, organisation, accommodation, and people made it unforgettable. If you're looking for a venue that delivers breathtaking scenery, flawless organisation, and genuine heart, this is the place."
