About Stonehurst Cedar Creek
Stonehurst Cedar Creek is a fifth-generation family farm and organic vineyard on Wollombi Road at Cedar Creek, a few minutes from Wollombi village. The 550-acre property takes in vines, creek flats and bush-covered ranges, and the family hire it out for weddings. Couples have the event areas to themselves for the day, and cellar door visitors are kept out of the wedding space. Ceremony spots include The Grove under ornamental pear trees, several creekside clearings near the stone causeway, and the Cottage Vineyard looking across the Shiraz rows to the hills. Receptions usually move to The Wine Cellar, a converted warehouse with 22-foot ceilings, steel beams, a wall of barrels and timber doors opening onto The Grove. It seats 100, or holds 150 standing, while the estate can take 150 using its outdoor areas. The Pavilion among the poplars is the covered wet-weather option and also works for open-air dining. There is no in-house kitchen and no set caterer, so couples bring whoever they like – food trucks, wood-fired pizza or a long plated menu. All wine and sparkling must come from the Stonehurst range, while beer, cider and spirits are brought in by the couple and poured by RSA-licensed bar staff. The venue supplies ceremony and reception furniture, sets up to your plan, coordinates on the day and packs down afterwards. Seven self-contained cottages on site sleep up to 28 guests, and weekend weddings include two nights of accommodation.

Frequently asked questions
How many guests can Stonehurst Cedar Creek hold for a wedding?
Up to 150 guests using the outdoor areas. The Wine Cellar seats 100 for dinner or takes 150 for a cocktail-style reception, and there are 120 chairs on hand for a seated meal.
Can we choose our own caterer?
Yes. There is no exclusive caterer and no commercial kitchen, so food trucks and pop-up kitchens suit the site well. A mobile cool room is available for drinks and catering, and the team can suggest suppliers who have worked there before.
What are the rules on drinks?
Every wine and sparkling served must be from the Stonehurst range. Beer, cider and spirits are supplied by the couple. All drinks must be poured by a bar operator with public liability cover and RSA-licensed staff, as self-service is not allowed. Stonehurst also offers its own bar package.
Is accommodation part of the booking?
Seven vineyard cottages on the property sleep up to 28 guests. Weekend wedding packages include two nights and accommodation is compulsory for weekend celebrations, while midweek packages include one night and staying is optional.
What time does a wedding finish?
On weekends the bar and music stop at 11pm, with guests off the property by 11.30pm. Midweek weddings wrap up an hour earlier, with bar and music ending at 10pm.
