What Makes a Destination Wedding Special
Imagine this
Your favourite people gathered for a weekend away. Laughter over welcome drinks, vows exchanged in the Rock Cathedral surrounded by 320-million-year-old rock, and a farewell brunch before everyone heads home with stories to tell. That’s the essence of a destination wedding at Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat.
Why Choose a Destination Wedding?
It’s not just the day itself. It’s the pace, the shared time, the sense of escape. A destination wedding at KVBR feels like a world away from the world — a setting that’s nothing like everyday life. Here, it’s not only where you marry, but how the place shapes the entire celebration. Every meal, every walk through the bush, and every late-night conversation becomes part of the memory, turning your wedding into a weekend your guests will never forget.
Tips for Planning a Destination Wedding
Keep travel simple: KVBR is only two hours from Sydney or Canberra.
Make it more than one event: welcome dinner & drinks, the wedding feast, a recovery brunch.
Give your guests ease: onsite ensuite & airconditioned guest cabins, camping options, and nearby stays.
Plan ahead: let guests lock in travel early.
Work with locals: from caterers to florists, suppliers here know how to make it seamless.
Styling With a Sense of Place
Destination weddings work best when they reflect the setting. At KVBR, that might mean:
Native florals or produce that echo the valley.
Long timber tables dressed in natural textures.
You might also choose to surprise your guests with welcome packs in their rooms — think local wines, handmade keepsakes, or other personal touches that set the tone for the celebration ahead.
Lounge areas for gathering between events.
