Take a moment to Capture the Atmosphere...

As you enter the grounds you are drawn to the buildings’ unique style and incredible bell tower.  The moment you enter under the bell tower you are embraced by the charm of the classic estate. 
The high vaulted timber ceilings in warm Macrocarpa present an immediate WOW factor.  Entering the dance hall, the grand wood fire place will next catch your eye.  As you look around further you notice the attention paid to detail with many dated photographs and carefully chosen ornaments of interest.

Step outside to the luscious lawns immaculately maintained, and enjoy the tranquility as the fantails flutter about the trees and gardens.  With 3 acres of property to explore there is ample room for your guests to spill out and find their own private corner.  You have now wandered down the gentle slope to the rustic swing nestles in the shade of the trees.  Gazing back at the venue you can picture yourself on your special day.  You imagine the bell ringing to announce to all the commitment you and your fiancé have just made.  A truly special touch.  Traditionally a bell is rung twelve times to offer well wishes for the first twelve months of your married life.

Our beautiful and convenient location, our spectacular range of venues and our internationally recognised luxury accommodation and meeting spaces means Black Barn is the perfect venue for your wedding.
