Magpies Nest Restaurant

Location

Category

The Magpies Nest, located on the outskirts of Wagga Wagga, NSW is nestled within the confines of our stone stables, originating from first settlement in the 1860’s. With sweeping views across the vineyard, olive groves and further beyond to the Murrumbidgee River, the Magpies Nest offers a picturesque space for your celebration.

With over 20 years experience, we are able to give as little or as much assistance through the planning process whilst also offering a beautifully unique backdrop for your special day. Our aim is to make the journey towards your big day as simple as possible, with our event coordinator on hand to assist in planning every step of the way. We know that no two weddings are the same and love working with our couples to make our events stand out. As we are first and foremost a restaurant with a team of incredible creatives behind the scenes, we love creating custom menus with our couples to utilize our beautiful local produce to create a truly local and personal menu for your event.

We offer exclusive use of our 20 acre property for your special day and with our purpose built ceremony area, we are able to give your guests a truly rural wedding experience. From ceremony through to reception, guests are free to meander through the gardens and enjoy a drink and nibble whilst you wander off for photos around the property, before dinner and later dancing the night away with a cocktail or two, we love a good party.

FAQ

What is your booking process for couples planning their wedding?

Once you get in touch with us, we’ll send through our wedding venue package for you to explore. From there, we’d love to meet with you for a site visit and a chat so we can hear all about your ideas, get to know what’s important to you, and talk about how we can bring your wedding plans to life.

Can you customise your services to suit different wedding styles or budgets?

Absolutely. We believe your wedding should reflect who you are as a couple, which is why we take a personalised approach to every celebration. We’ll work closely with you to tailor the experience, explore options, and create a day that feels effortless, beautiful, and completely your own.

How many guests can your venue accommodate?

We can host up to 140 guests for a seated wedding reception and up to 180 guests for a cocktail-style wedding celebration. We also love intimate celebrations, with our private dining room offering the perfect setting for smaller weddings, wedding elopements, or a special gathering with your closest family and friends.

Can couples choose their own vendors?

Of course. We’re more than happy to work with your chosen wedding vendors and welcome them both during the planning process and on the day itself. If you’re looking for recommendations, we’re always happy to share some of our favorite’s and can help with availability checks if you need an extra hand along the way.

Do you have wet-weather options?

Every wedding is unique, so we work with each couple to create a plan that feels right for their day. During the lead-up, we’ll chat through all the options and put together a personalised wet-weather plan so you can feel confident knowing everything is covered. We have a few options up our sleeve and will work closely with you to make sure your celebration runs smoothly, whatever the weather brings.

How far in advance should couples book you for their wedding?

We recommend booking around 12–18 months in advance where possible, especially if you have a particular date in mind. This gives you the best chance of securing your wedding venue and preferred vendors early in the planning process. That said, we also love creating beautiful celebrations on shorter timelines and can work with couples who need to bring everything together within a couple of months.
