OVERVIEW
For couples seeking a wedding venue in Hunter Valley that checks all the boxes, Tocal Homestead in Paterson should be high on your list. With a rich presence in the region’s history, Tocal Homestead is set upon a low rise overlooking a gorgeous lagoon and rolling hills. A collection of beautifully-maintained buildings, including the main house, lovely rustic barns and sheds, and a stunning chapel, Tocal Homestead is perfect for country-style weddings that still have the creature comforts of a modern soiree.
“As a photographer, Tocal is always one of my favourite locations to visit. Couples can have the ceremony, photos reception all on site, as well as having accommodation onsite and plenty more nearby. The grounds are gorgeous for photos and always has a beautiful angle for the sunset. The many barns, sheds verandahs provide plenty of undercover areas if it's a rainy day. Combined with the superb catering & service from the team, it's hard to find anything to complain about!” Ben H
Ceremonies can take place on the lawn beneath the skies, or in the gorgeous onsite chapel. Head over to the heritage hayshed for your reception, and throw open the wide doors so your guests can observe the magnificent sunset over the property. Ideal for weddings of up to 120 guests, the property also provides a dedicated staff and kitchen team to keep you all wined and dined with delicious gourmet meals. In the evening, retire to the nearby Tocal Barracks or other local accommodation in the Hunter Valley.
