Hopewood House - Bowral, New South Wales

Where to start? Hopewood House was the most incredible wedding experience we could have asked for! It was truly a magical day and that is in great part a huge credit to Janet, Janelle and their incredible team. From the moment we booked our wedding day, Janet & Janelle were always accomodating to our every need, allowing us take the time to visit the venue with our vendors well in advance of our wedding day. The actual wedding day & weekend was so easy and stress free. Nothing was too big an ask of any staff member on site on our day. The effort Janet goes into to make sure the grounds are immaculate for our big day did not go unnoticed. The Hopewood team are the most generous, loving and supportive team and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding day experience. THANK YOU!

The most amazing of venues. The food and service are impeccable and the estate is absolutely divine! So happy we selected Hopewood House for our wedding on March 9, 2019. Our 100 guests loved it. Thank you Janet and Janelle (event manager) for making our special day one that we will cherish forever. Sheree & David x

My wife and I got married at Hopewood in March 2021 and had the most wonderful experience. Janelle, Janet and all the staff were amazing and went over and above to make our day special in every way possible.

The grounds, the food and the atmosphere here is unbelievable and I'd seriously question anyone who could claim otherwise.

A venue, a team and an experience not to be missed!

My husband and I got married at Hopewood House last month and it was absolutely incredible. Janelle and the whole Hopewood team were amazing and made the whole event ran so smoothly, the food by Simon Ekas was without fault (our guests said so too!) and the venue itself is perfect and classic without even trying. Best wedding we could have asked for and would love to do it all over again! x

Wonderful wedding reception house. Downside is having to walk in the soggy grounds after so much rain. Brides' train was covered in mud along with guests long gowns and shoes.
There should have been astro turf or a covering of some type, not necessarily red carpet, but something even just for bride and groom to walk down to marriage celebrant.
Wedding breakfast was held upstairs, but guests had to descend a large flight of stairs to watch the bride and groom doing their bridal waltz. There posed a problem for elderly guests, not enough seating to sit and watch the 💃 dancing.
The decor and flowers in the reception room were magnificent and food & service was excellent.
Gardens were stunning and building itself was a beautiful old building.

The estate of Hopewood House is absolutely stunning inside and out, and the gardens that surround it looked so beautiful. The staff at Hopewood were all stellar and our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Thank you Janet and Janelle for making it perfect. They tried to meet what what we were envisioning and even more. :))

Highly recommend Hopewood House. Married here in November 2021. Far and above the best venue we found after extensive research, not like a lot of the others that just try to push you in and out without much care for what you want. The venue is beautiful, the food and the staff exceptional. We couldn't fault them at all. They were so accommodating the whole way through and went all out for us on the day. "Best wedding ever" was all I heard from our guests afterwards and that was down the staff making it all happen.
