Southern Highlands Wedding at Bendooley Book Barn

Getting ready with Jade in the newly renovated Bendooley Homestead was truly chefโ€™s kiss. Light-filled rooms, beautiful textures, and the surrounding gardens made it the dreamiest bridal suite and an absolute must if you are getting married at Book Barn ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿก

Bridal Preparations at Bendooley Homestead

The newly renovated Bendooley Homestead is hands down one of our favourite getting ready locations in the Southern Highlands. Jade spent the morning here with her closest people, soaking in the natural light with their fun girl energy!

The homestead offers space, privacy, and stunning backdrops all in one place. It is perfect for relaxed mornings, emotional moments, and beautiful portraits before the ceremony begins. If you are planning a wedding at Bendooley Book Barn, we cannot recommend the homestead highly enough for your bridal preparations.

A Summer Ceremony in the Gardens

Jade and Luke were married on the lawns of Bendooleyโ€™s gardens on a stunning summer afternoon. Surrounded by greenery and soft sunshine, their ceremony felt intimate yet grand in the most effortless way.

Bendooley Estate is known for its European inspired gardens, and they truly shine during summer ceremonies. The space feels open, elegant, and timeless, making it ideal for couples who want a relaxed but refined Southern Highlands wedding.

Extended Cocktails by the Lake

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed an extended cocktail hour at the Lakeside Pavilion. This is always a favourite part of the day, especially as the sun begins to dip lower in the sky.

The Lakeside Pavilion offers beautiful water views, gentle golden light, and a relaxed atmosphere that allows guests to mingle and celebrate without feeling rushed. It also gives couples the perfect opportunity to enjoy their day while we capture portraits at sunset.

A Perfect Southern Highlands Celebration

From the calm morning at the homestead to the garden ceremony and lakeside celebrations, Jade and Lukeโ€™s wedding felt right in every way. Calm, joyful, and full of love. The kind of Southern Highlands wedding that stays with you long after the day is over ๐Ÿคโ˜€๏ธ

If you are dreaming of a Bendooley Book Barn wedding, this venue truly offers everything. Beautiful preparation spaces, stunning ceremony locations, and seamless flow throughout the day.
