Category

Lilburndale is a wonderfully unique Hawkesbury wedding venue providing a mix of beautifully preserved history and picturesque Australian landscapes.

Located just 1.15 hours from Sydney, Lilburndale is a Hawkesbury wedding venue set across a scenic 1100-acre property featuring Lilburndale House and other historic pastoral buildings.

The historic sandstone homestead, Lilburndale House, provides an ideal backdrop for your ceremony and post-ceremony celebrations. Beautiful photography locations are dotted throughout the grounds, while your guests relax with refreshments and soak up the serenity. The wedding reception venue The Packing Shed caters for up to 120 guests for a canape style wedding and 100 for a sit-down dining experience.

The venue dates back to the 1920s and blends polished industrial style with concrete floors, black steel and timber. Throughout The Packing Shed, restored antique citrus farming machinery adds character and depth. With plenty of contemporary touches, The Packing Shed still retains its original charm – it’s rustic done right!

We make planning your wedding day easy and stress-free, so you can relax and enjoy every moment. Venue hire includes tables, chairs, cutlery, crockery, lounges, plus set-up and pack-down of all Lilburndale inclusions. Just add your florist, and you’re ready to celebrate.
