Planning a wedding in the Central West? You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to venues — from historic woolsheds to vineyards and lush gardens. As a Bathurst wedding photographer, I’ve been lucky to capture love stories at some truly incredible spots. Here’s a guide to my favourite wedding venues in Bathurst and the wider Central West NSW to help you find the perfect backdrop for your day.
Clifton Woolshed, Bathurst
Rustic charm meets history. Clifton Woolshed is a heritage venue full of character, perfect for couples who want a relaxed, countryside celebration. Its sweeping paddocks and restored woolshed give endless photo opportunities, especially at golden hour.
Why I love it: It’s full of raw textures, gorgeous natural light, and a perfect balance of elegance and rustic vibes.
BoxGrove, Bathurst
A boutique venue just minutes from town, BoxGrove offers luxury-meets-country with rolling hills, a stylish pavilion, and on-site accommodation.
Why I love it: It’s versatile — you can have an intimate ceremony or a full-scale reception, and every angle is photogenic.
Vineyards of Orange
If wine country is your vibe, Orange is overflowing with vineyard venues. Think lush rows of vines, barrel halls, and romantic cellar doors. Some popular picks include Philip Shaw, Ross Hill, and Borrodell.
Why I love it: Sunset among the vines is unbeatable. The combination of wine, food, and scenery makes for a relaxed but luxe celebration.
Hillandale Garden, Yetholme
A hidden gem just outside Bathurst, Hillandale is a whimsical garden venue full of greenery, blooms, and old-world charm.
Why I love it: It’s intimate and dreamy — perfect for couples wanting something unique and romantic.
Backyard & Farm Weddings
Don’t underestimate the magic of keeping it personal. Many couples across the Central West host weddings on family farms or private properties. With the right setup, these can be the most meaningful and memorable celebrations of all.
Why I love it: They’re deeply personal, and we can craft photos that feel entirely unique to your story.
Choosing the right venue for you
When picking your venue, think about:
Guest numbers — does it fit your vision?
Style — do you want rustic, elegant, modern, or garden vibes?
Practicalities — accommodation, wet weather options, accessibility.
Most importantly, choose a space that feels like you!!!!
