- EEmma & Daniel01/04/2025A Wonderful Location for a WeddingA Wonderful Location for a WeddingGinninderry homestead is a wonderful location for a wedding. Connected with the surrounding natural landscape, including the lovely creek that runs besides the homestead, the trees, gardens and wildlife, the venue is perfect for intimate and relaxed weddings, and is great value. Was so convenient to have the ceremony in the gardens, take photos around the property whilst guests had canapés and drinks, and then have the reception, all at the homestead property, so convenient.

The rooms were very neat, clean, crisp and wonderful experience to rest at. The grounds were immaculate, and their gardeners had done a splendid job keeping everything perfect. The reception venue was superb which accommodated my 90 off guests (included bridal party). I couldn't have asked for a better venue for our big day.Had my wedding here about three weeks ago; the staff, especially Sharon, were phenomenal help in both organising and preparing the stunning site for the day.
