The Jackson Ranch by Bannisters

At The Jackson Ranch by Bannisters, we offer exclusive use of our 37-acre private property for wedding celebrations of 40–180 guests. Couples have access to multiple ceremony and reception locations across the ranch, from lakeside settings to open lawns and natural surrounds. We also provide on-site accommodation, venue coordination, inhouse catering team, event staffing and logistical support to help bring your vision to life. Many couples choose to extend the celebration into a full wedding weekend, creating more time to connect with family and friends in a relaxed country-coastal setting on the NSW South Coast.

As every wedding at The Jackson Ranch is unique, pricing varies depending on guest numbers, event requirements and how you choose to use the property. We encourage couples to get in touch so we can learn more about their plans and provide information tailored to their celebration. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger destination wedding experience, our team is always happy to guide you through the options available and help determine what may be the best fit for your vision.

We recommend reaching out as early as possible, particularly if you’re hoping to secure a popular season or weekend. As an exclusive-use wedding venue, we host a limited number of celebrations each year, allowing every couple the privacy, flexibility and personalised support they deserve. While some couples book well over a year in advance, others have more flexible timelines. The best approach is simply to enquire once you have a date or season in mind so we can discuss availability.

Every celebration at The Jackson Ranch is different, so inclusions can vary depending on the style and scale of your wedding. What remains consistent is access to a private, exclusive-use wedding venue, multiple event locations across the property, on-site accommodation, tailored food and beverage packages and support from our experienced team throughout the planning process. We believe no two weddings should feel the same, which is why we work closely with couples to create an experience that reflects their priorities, personalities and the way they want to celebrate.

Absolutely. One of the things couples love most about The Jackson Ranch is the creative freedom the property offers. We don’t believe weddings should follow a template. Whether you’re planning a relaxed long-table dinner under the stars, a refined marquee celebration, or a multi-day wedding weekend with welcome drinks and a recovery brunch, the ranch provides a versatile canvas that can be shaped around your vision. Our team works closely with couples to ensure the experience feels personal, thoughtful and genuinely reflective of them.

The process begins with an enquiry and conversation about your wedding plans, guest numbers and preferred timing. From there, we’ll guide you through the venue, answer any questions and help you explore how the property may work for your celebration. Once you’ve decided The Jackson Ranch feels like the right fit, we’ll walk you through the booking process and next steps. Throughout the lead-up to your wedding, our team remains available to provide venue coordination and logistical support, helping make planning feel as seamless as possible.

What sets The Jackson Ranch apart is the combination of privacy, flexibility and place. As a luxury South Coast wedding venue couples can enjoy exclusively, the entire property becomes yours for the duration of your celebration. Rather than moving between locations, your ceremony, reception, accommodation and shared experiences can unfold in one beautiful setting. Just as importantly, our dedicated events team is there to support you throughout the journey, bringing a thoughtful, highly personalised approach and the warm hospitality The Jackson Ranch is known for. Surrounded by nature and just moments from the coast, the ranch encourages a slower pace, giving couples and guests the opportunity to spend meaningful time together rather than rushing through a single day.

The Jackson Ranch naturally lends itself to relaxed, design-conscious celebrations that feel connected to the landscape around them. Our country-coastal setting works beautifully for everything from contemporary editorial styling to understated luxury, romantic garden-inspired celebrations and modern destination weddings. Rather than specialising in one specific aesthetic, we provide a versatile backdrop that allows each couple’s personality and style to take centre stage. We love seeing the property transformed in different ways while always retaining its sense of warmth, character and natural beauty.

The Jackson Ranch is best suited to couples who value experience as much as aesthetics. Our venue is designed for those wanting more than a traditional one-day event; couples who want to gather their favourite people, slow down and create meaningful memories across an entire wedding weekend. With exclusive use of the property, accommodation guests can enjoy on-site, and a range of beautiful ceremony and reception locations, the ranch offers both flexibility and a genuine sense of escape, making it an ideal choice for couples seeking a destination wedding venue on the NSW South Coast, while remaining comfortably accessible from major cities.
