When it comes to celebrating love, the charming town of Mudgee in regional NSW is one destination that never disappoints. Year-round, couples and their guests can come and experience Mudgee's award-winning wineries, boutique accommodation, excellent cafes and restaurants and genuine country hospitality.

It's why Wedshed's co-founder Amy chose to say 'I do' here and encouraged her cousin Izzy to do the same. You can check out both of their weddings here and here. It's also why we wrote this blog post - we wanted couples to have an easy-to-find summary of the best wedding venues in Mudgee.

Wedshed loves: The open-air design. It's essentially a weatherproof way to celebrate under the stars year round.
Arriving at Pavilion at Lowe is a real pinch me moment. Imagine sprawling grounds, rolling vineyards and views of a quintessential Australian country landscape. Pair that with the property's pavilion (an impressive, open-air style reception space with antique furnishings and chandeliers) and you have yourself what we like to call a 'damn good wedding venue'.
Aesthetics aside, the pavilion also has all the practical parts covered, including a commercial kitchen, bathroom facilities, solid flooring and heating and cooling systems. There's accommodation for two on-site and the certified organic and biodynamic wines that are produced here are a little too easy to drink.
If you appreciate stunning ceremony locations and tasty, homegrown food, this wedding venue in Mudgee has ticked those boxes too (just check out this real wedding and see for yourself).

Blue Wren Farm. Remember the name, because if you're planning on a having a Mudgee wedding you'd be silly not to consider this exclusive 50-acre estate.
