A 100-acre estate of vineyards, orchards & friendly farm animals on the NSW South Coast — for destination weddings and a wealth of events
Bawley Vale is 100 acres of vineyards, fruit trees and tranquil lakes, wrapped in rugged bush with the ocean a few minutes down the road. At its heart, a striking modern-industrial venue — sky-high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, blackbutt timber and brick. Rustic charm, none of the rough edges.
It's run by family, managed with love. Chris, Marg and our coordinator Jackie are the warmth behind the welcome — the reason couples say they felt calm, looked after, and completely themselves.

Vineyard, orchard, lakes and bush — plus goats, alpacas and our resident goose and duck. The ocean's just over the hill.
Sky-high ceilings, glass walls, huge barn doors, exposed beams and blackbutt timber. Light pours in from every side.
A place of warmth, friendliness and soul. Where you feel like your wedding is hosted at a friend's place.
The whole estate to roam, time and space to settle in, and a studio to stay. Time to actually feel it.
"The best wedding our guests had ever been to" — we hear it almost every week.
"We honestly can't describe the warmth, friendliness, and soul we felt from BVE from the very first moment we visited. We feel as though we just hosted our wedding at our friend's place."
"Marg, Chris & the team at Bawley Vale Estate, we cannot thank you enough for helping us celebrate our special day and make it everything we’ve ever dreamed of. Everything turned out better than we could have ever imagined, and the venue was absolutely breathtaking, on the wedding day & each time we made a visit in the lead up to our wedding. Communication was always clear and responsive, we felt such a lovely connection with Marg & Chris as soon as we met, we knew this was the right venue for us. On the day, they blended in just like our very own guests. Nothing was ever a problem, no question was ever too hard & we were supported beyond words through 2x covid postponements. Thank you again for having us, and for celebrating with us. We will be forever grateful."
"From the day we booked to the day we got married we always felt like part of the Bawley Vale family, and that was the case on the night where Marg and Chris themselves are there the whole time."
Every wedding includes two nights on-site in a self-contained two-bedroom studio — so the morning after is as unhurried as the day itself. Wake to birdsong, mist over the vines, and coffee on the deck.
Tell us a little about your day — book a tour. We'll show you the venue, pour you a glass of bubbles, and let the place do the talking.
