About The Old Stone House
The Old Stone House is a small garden wedding venue on Molonglo Street in Bungendore, in the Canberra District. The stone house dates from the 1860s, and the family who own it now host weddings in its grounds, with their daughter coordinating each event. The property sits on an acre of established gardens laid out in the spirit of Monet. Long beds of roses, a line of weeping cherry trees and arbors heavy with climbing roses lead to separate garden rooms: a round rose garden, a formal garden, a fernery and a Japanese garden with a pond, waterfall, bridge and tea house. Receptions are held under a white 9 x 12 metre marquee with cotton linings on the top lawn. The combined ceremony and reception package gives you the grounds for seven hours, plus ceremony chairs, a signing table and reception furniture, for 50 to 90 guests. Couples can bring in any professional caterer for brunch, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner, and that caterer looks after all food service. The venue is licensed, so drinks come from its own bar rather than being brought in. There is also a ceremony-only package on selected weekdays, an all-in packaged wedding for up to 82 people with a celebrant, photographer, buffet and bar tab, and smaller elopement packages. Weddings run from October to April, when the gardens are at their fullest, and dogs are welcome.
