How to Plan a Wollombi Wedding Weekend (Without Losing Your Mind)

Planning a wedding can be stressful—but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re considering the Hunter Valley as your wedding destination, Wollombi offers something that most places can’t: relaxed country charm, boutique wineries, and one-of-a-kind venues like Mystwood that make it easy to turn your wedding into an unforgettable weekend away.

This guide is your go-to for planning a full wedding weekend experience in Wollombi, whether you’re dreaming of an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration with everyone you love.

Step 1: Choose Your Wollombi Wedding Venue Wisely

The right venue will set the tone for the entire weekend. At Mystwood, we offer 140 acres of privacy, views, and natural beauty—plus five luxury self-contained cabins onsite, so your closest guests can stay right beside you.

Why Mystwood?

All-Inclusive Packages: From day-one planning with your dedicated wedding planner to on-the-day supervision, it’s all taken care of.
Exclusive Use: You won’t be sharing your venue with anyone else.
Reception Dinner Under the Stars: For summer weddings, our new Twilight Package includes a fairy-lit dome experience your guests will never forget.

Step 2: Book Wollombi Guest Accommodation Early

Wollombi is a small town with charm—and limited beds. Encourage your guests to book their accommodation as soon as possible.

Helpful tip: Create a custom accommodation list on your wedding website. Be sure to include Mystwood for guests not staying onsite—our cabins offer private outdoor spas, fireplaces, and breakfast hampers.

Step 3. Create a Relaxed Wollombi Wedding Weekend Itinerary

A relaxed wedding weekend works best with a loose itinerary.

Here is a simple sample wedding weekend itinerary for you to use as a guide:

Friday: Check in, welcome drinks on the lawn
Saturday: Morning yoga or brunch, ceremony and reception
Sunday: Recovery breakfast or bushwalk in Yengo National Park

Mystwood makes planning easy. You can host all parts of the celebration onsite—from rehearsal to recovery.

Step 4. Add Local Wollombi & Hunter Valley Touches

One of the biggest perks of a Wollombi wedding is the chance to showcase local food, wine, and artisans. You will find so many places to explore throughout Hunter Valley but Wollombi is extra special. From local art galleries to local shops and pubs Wollombi and Laguna offers something for everyone!

Step 5: Let Your Wedding Guests Explore Wollombi Village

Let your guests explore! Encourage them to take a walk into Wollombi village, grab a coffee from Myrtle House Café, or enjoy some quiet time at their accommodation.

This is especially easy if your venue—like Mystwood—is just minutes from town.
