Wedding Reception Venues in Mount White

Lakeside vows, a walk up through the bush, then dinner beneath chandeliers: a wedding day at The Barn @ Saddles Mount White follows that order. The property covers 28 acres on Ashbrookes Road, in the farm and estate country inland from the beaches, and it hosts only one wedding on any day.

Couples coming up for a hinterland wedding and locals wanting a bush setting both get the ceremony, reception and accommodation in one place, so guests aren't shuttling between venues.

The day at Saddles, step by step:

• The ceremony: held at the edge of the lake in The Garden, which holds 80 seated or 180 standing.
• Canapés: 45 minutes of roaming canapés as guests follow the tracks up to The Barn.
• The reception: exposed timber beams and chandeliers, with seating for 120 or 150 for a cocktail-style reception.
• The first dance: a dance floor inside, plus a verandah for a breather between sets.
• The morning after: the wedding party and family can sleep on site, with 20 suites at the lodge.

Packages start from $230 per person and run to a plated three-course dinner, with the whole precinct available exclusively on request.
