St Josephs Guesthouse

St Joseph’s Guest House and Function Venue is your intimate daytime wedding specialist. Located in the MacDonald Valley, just 90 minutes from the busy hub of Sydney, this venue can offer you the peaceful day that you are looking for. We offer plenty of grassy areas forming a natural amphitheatre overlooking nuptials on the outdoor deck, or the tasteful ground floor of the church, rich in history and ambiance for an indoor wedding/reception – the setup is totally up to you! Since its opening in 2014, the Guesthouse and Function Venue has received a number of both heritage and magazine awards. It is gaining popularity as an ideal venue for intimate functions and has received acknowledgment as an exquisite venue for weddings. Although a daytime-only wedding venue, the Guesthouse accommodation allows the couple and/or family and friends to arrive a day (or two) earlier and plan your individual styling. After the wedding, when guests have gone home or elsewhere in the valley to continue celebrating, the newly married couple can have their first night together in a magnificent setting before heading back into the world. If there are also some special guests staying to continue celebrations inside the Guesthouse, there are five separate bedrooms to provide a quiet and peaceful sleep before the rigours of the next day. Our wedding package is $7,500 which includes the venue hire and accommodation for ten people for up to five nights. Our DIY approach means you are free to plan your special event anyway you wish. You can organise with our suppliers, your suppliers, or bring your own tables and chairs, marquee, scatter rugs etc. The venue is ideal for daytime weddings with up to 100 people who can enjoy an intimate indoor wedding within the splendour of the multilevel church or an outdoor wedding spread out across the grounds and the natural amphitheatre of the back terraced areas overlooking the nuptials on the rear deck.
