The Wedding Shed @ Kookaburra Hideaway

Looking for a wedding venue where you can make it as DIY as you choose? Look no further than Kookaburra Hideaway! Unlike other DIY venues that leave you to do everything yourself, Kookaburra Hideaway offers a range of options to suit your needs. Even with the most DIY option, you'll still get a cleaned venue before and after, and it will be totally set up for you with styling and gift chests, complete with all the basics you need.

As you arrive, you will be welcomed by the stunning views of the Hunter Valley Vineyard region and the Brokenback Mountain Range. Kookaburra Hideaway is a winner of the 2023 Best Boutique Farm Accommodation and Highly Commended Wedding Venue, offering gorgeous accommodation with stunning views over the Hunter Valley.

At Kookaburra Hideaway, you'll have a wedding coordinator and a runner with you for your setup, the running of the wedding, and the close at the end. You'll also have a speaker to play your ceremony music. If you don't have a DJ for the reception, there's a speaker set up for your music so that it can be played from your iPhone or device, plus three wireless microphones for your speeches. And to ensure you get to enjoy your day, there's a bar supervisor and bar staff to take care of everything.
