WEDDINGS - YOUR SPECIAL DAY
Hunter Valley Weddings · Hunter Farm · Pokolbin
Your Hunter Valley wedding is more than the ceremony and reception.
It is the people you love arriving in the Hunter Valley. The excitement before the wedding. The moment you say I do. The celebration afterwards. And the stories everyone is still telling when you come together again.
At Hunter Farm in Pokolbin, you can hold your wedding ceremony and reception here, or make the Farm part of a wedding being held somewhere else in the Hunter Valley.
Welcome drinks, relaxed family gatherings, flexible dining, wine experiences, guest activities, accommodation and post-wedding celebrations can all become part of your time together, whether you are planning a midweek wedding, a weekend wedding or several days in the Hunter Valley.

Make more of the time everyone has together.
Friends and family have come to the Hunter Valley for one of the most important celebrations of your life. Hunter Farm gives you somewhere to bring everyone together before the wedding, for the wedding itself, afterwards, or for all three.
Let the celebration start early.
Welcome drinks, family gatherings, casual dinners, long lunches, wine experiences and activities give everyone a chance to reconnect before the wedding.
Say I do at Hunter Farm.
Hold your Hunter Valley wedding ceremony and reception here in Pokolbin, with vineyard surroundings, outdoor areas, flexible indoor spaces, menus and packages.
One more chance to be together.
Bring everyone together again for breakfast, brunch, lunch, wine experiences or relaxed activities before family and friends begin heading home.
Our wedding is at another Hunter Valley venue. Can we still come to Hunter Farm?
Absolutely. Your ceremony and reception do not need to be held here and your guests do not need to stay here. Bring everyone to Hunter Farm for welcome drinks, a pre-wedding gathering, wine and group activities, dining or a relaxed post-wedding celebration.
Do we have to pay for all our guests' activities?
Not necessarily. Selected Hunter Farm experiences can be chosen and paid for individually by guests, giving family and friends something to enjoy together without every activity becoming another cost for the couple.
A Hunter Valley Wedding · Your Way
The wedding might last a day. The memories don't have to.
When the people who matter most have come together in the Hunter Valley, give yourselves time to enjoy having them here.

Pre + Post Wedding Celebrations · Hunter Valley
Turn the wedding into time together.
When family and friends have travelled to the Hunter Valley, there is something special about having more than a few hours together at the ceremony and reception.
Start with welcome drinks, a casual dinner or a relaxed family gathering. Give guests the chance to taste wine, explore the Farm or enjoy an activity together.
Afterwards, come together again for breakfast, brunch, lunch, a wine experience or simply another few hours together before everyone goes their separate ways.
Your actual wedding can be at Hunter Farm, another Hunter Valley wedding venue, a chapel or elsewhere in Pokolbin. The celebration before and afterwards can still happen here.
Midweek or weekend. The idea is the same: make the most of having the people who matter to you together in the Hunter Valley.

Making wedding planning simpler
One person who understands how the whole celebration actually works.
There are a lot of moving parts in a wedding. Katie's experience is not limited to taking wedding enquiries. She has worked hands-on with weddings and events, including supervising functions, so she understands what has to happen behind the scenes as well as what the couple and their guests see.
Menus. Flowers. Cars. Decorations. Wine. Timing. Guest arrangements. Suppliers. The spaces before the wedding and what happens afterwards. Katie understands how those pieces need to work together.
She is your one point of contact at Hunter Farm and can draw on our team and network of wedding suppliers and contacts to help make the planning simpler.
You do not need to arrive with every detail decided. Come and see the Farm, tell Katie what you are imagining and start from there.
