OVERVIEW

Built-in the 1920s and set within five acres of picturesque parkland in the Shire of Baulkham Hills, Cropley House is a popular venue for elegant Sydney weddings. This historic two-storey Georgian mansion boasts five private function rooms, two magnificent rooms on the ground floor and three on the first floor.

Formerly a boarding school and community hub, Cropley House reopened its doors following an extensive renovation in 2018, during which the mansion was restored to its former grandeur. Its stunning features include manicured gardens, a grand circular driveway, long undercover balconies covered with wisteria, sophisticated ballrooms, and a sweeping staircase.

Thank you for all your efficient communication and organization for our wedding reception; everything went beautifully and we had such an amazing night. We will definitely keep recommending Cropley!" - Amanzi H.

April 2020

All of the staff from Cropley House were unbelievably amazing for our wedding on the 21st of March 2020. Amidst all of the immediate restrictions placed upon NSW regarding the size of indoor and outdoor gatherings, they remained understanding of the stress we were under 3 days before our wedding to make serious and fast changes. They still managed to pull off a perfect ceremony and reception, even understaffed so that we could extend our guest list to the absolute maximum we were allowed and all our guests were so impressed with the set up of the reception room, the service, and the food! They remained in constant contact with us in the lead up to our big day, doing their best to keep our hopes up and letting us know of any changes as soon as they could!

Hi Elia and Sasha. Just wanted to say how happy we are with yesterday’s event. Everyone commented on how lovely the venue was. A special thank you to Evelyn for coordinating the night. The guests all raved about the food and I have to say my barramundi was delicious. I’ve never had such beautiful food at a wedding before. Please pass on my appreciation to the chef. Thank you for making our day so memorable.

What should the timeline be for a cocktail only reception. The party will be 4 hours

We are having a cocktail reception at a wine bar in Las Vegas and would like to get a timeline of events. Reception is from 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM, Hors d'oeuvres and cocktails will be served, along with cake and champagne for the toast. Help

Cropley House

The above suggestions are all great but just remember to relax and enjoy the night! Work out for how many hours the food will be served and break it up based on when you would like to do your speeches and cake cutting as you probably dont want food service then. Space it out so all the food doesnt come out at once. Enjoy!!
