Hi! We're planning a two day wedding weekend and would love ideas for how the weekend could go, including any pre or post celebrations.
Fitzroy Inn Southern Highlands
Hi there, we specialise in creating 'Wedding Weekends'. The itinerary is based on your personal preferences and activities - for example, we have included activities such as golf, yoga on our lawns, Italian cooking classes, cocktail making etc.. We also work closely with local businesses so can offer wedding pre dinner parties, recovery lunches also.

Eloping
Hi, we are looking to elope. Most packages we’ve seen for venues come with a celebrant and photographer. We’d like my partners brother to perform the ceremony but as he isn’t a registered celebrant we had looked at doing the legal bits during the week at the registry office. We also don’t require a photographer as we already have one from previous events we’d like to use again. Most elopement packages come with both of these things as a must have inclusion. Any suggestions??
Fitzroy Inn Southern Highlands
Hi Emma,
We tailor each quote to each couple here at Fitzroy Inn, so you are only paying for what you actually need! You can have a package as simple as a venue hire fee only.
Send me through some more details of what you require, and I can send you a detailed quote - date, number of guests if any, champagne and canapes required for post ceremony? and anything else.
Kind Regards,
Leanne.

Is it possible to have an all inclusive wedding reception for 100 people for $15,000 or less
Ideally want a cocktail style reception with a DJ for entertainment. Do not want a rustic style wedding venue.
Fitzroy Inn Southern Highlands
Good morning!
Yes of course, we work with couples to tailor each package to the individual wedding. The pricing depends on day of the week you get married, for example a mid week or Sunday wedding will be your most budget friendly, and then of course with food options, we offer canape/ cocktail style also, which is cheaper than the traditional alternate drop. With beverage packages, we offer BYO options, three, five and six hour beverage packages.
We have a great list of music/ DJ options.
The Fitzroy Inn is a stunning and stylish country venue, offering an upmarket and unique setting for a Southern Highlands wedding.
If you would like to have a wedding tour, please email info@fitzroyinn.com.au and we would love to welcome you both!
