About Tuckers Lane
Tuckers Lane is an adults-only property on 43 acres of bushland in North Rothbury, in Hunter Valley wine country. Owners Paul and Carolyn Shields built the cabins, timber bridges and ceremony pavilion themselves, and they host elopements, micro weddings and vow renewals on the grounds. Birthdays, anniversaries and other private gatherings are welcome too. The Ironbark Pavilion is the ceremony space, reached over a timber bridge and along a curved 35-metre aisle with a dam behind the couple. Its roof is made from century-old ironbark salvaged from an old library building. It seats up to 30 guests, or holds 60 to 80 standing. After the vows, guests move to the Ironbark Bar and The Entertainer, a large timber deck with solid tables and a woodfire pizza oven. Weatherproof screens close the deck in when needed, and fans, heaters and mood lighting let it work in any season. A private preparation suite handles hair and makeup in the morning. Micro weddings seat up to 34 guests, and groups of up to 80 can be considered with the venue's approval. The property is reserved for a single wedding on the day, so there are no other guests or shared spaces. Couples choose how much help they want. An elopement uses the venue with your own celebrant, photographer and suppliers, while a micro wedding is coordinated end to end by Carolyn's team with local caterers, florists and celebrants. Drinks are BYO under conditions, and the venue supplies RSA-certified staff to serve them. Five self-contained cabins sleep up to 16 adults, each with a private outdoor spa, so the wedding party can stay on after the celebration. Children may attend the ceremony but can't stay overnight.
