Maitland has some of the most wonderful wedding venues in all of the Hunter region. And it is different from other parts of the Hunter Valley. You don’t just get a standard vineyard wedding in Maitland. There are historic manors, rustic and industrial venues, beautiful cottages and even a gaol where you can get married in. Maitland is a historic country town and the wedding venues reflect this. It is definitely a great choice for couples that are looking for something more historic and unique.

Located in the lower Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, the city of Maitland is just 35 kilometres from Newcastle.

If you are looking for a venue totally unique with some old world style and charm, then Mansfield House might be the perfect place for you. Built in 1887, Mansfield House is probably the most luxurious and opulent wedding venue in the region.

It is a former bank and has undergone extensive renovations to make it what it is today. Ceremonies can take place in its garden area and the wedding receptions take place inside the building. It can seat 110 people and do cocktail style receptions for up to 140 people. And when you book Mansfield House, you get exclusive access to the entire property.

Not every couple is looking for a rustic country wedding venue. Some couples would prefer something more elegant and refined. So Mansfield House makes an excellent choice for those couples. And it is great to see a wedding venue that is different and unique to the Maitland area.

Wallalong House would have to be one of my personal favourite wedding venues in the Maitland area. It is a historic garden wedding venue that is stylish and elegant and it has a beautiful country backdrop. The property is centred around the historic homestead. This main house is where couples and their families are able to stay. Having this onsite accommodation is such a bonus for couples. It totally reduces the stress of a weddding day. And you can actually see the ceremony location from your bedroom.

The owners of Wallalong House have recently created another accommodation option onsite by totally renovating the old ‘stables’. It is now a one-bedroom rustic retreat that is a stones throw from the main house. This way a couple can both get ready onsite and still not see each other. It is often used for the Groom and his groomsmen to get ready in on the morning of the wedding. And is a great option for wedding night accommodation for the couple.

Wedding ceremonies take place out front of the homestead between four 200-year-old fig trees. They are a great backdrop for the wedding ceremony and provide great shade for those Summer weddings.

Wedding receptions Wallalong House take place towards the side of the property where there is a permanent Indian Tent around the pool and garden. The tent is really like a more beautiful marquee that has been placed on a polished concrete floor. What I love about the tent is that the side of it are open the majority of the time. Which allows your guests to enjoy the countryside views and also allows a lovely breeze thought the reception. It’s like having an outdoor country reception with the security of knowing that you have a roof in case the weather turns.
