Wedding Reception Venues in Plainby

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Plainby, in the farming country near Crows Nest, has two working farms that host weddings, and they run quite differently. Greenvalley is a weekend-long barn wedding on a cattle and sheep property, while Bunnyconnellen gives couples the whole heritage farm with set packages from elopement to full day.

How the two Plainby farms compare for a wedding:

Greenvalley's barn dates from 1957, holds up to 120 guests and is strung with fairy lights.
Greenvalley hire runs from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning, with the homestead for the bridal party on both nights.
Bunnyconnellen gives exclusive use of the whole farm, including the homestead and a cottage, and takes a limited number of weddings each year.
Bunnyconnellen ceremonies can sit under The Gum Tree, on the lawns, in The Hay Shed, The Chapel or out among the olive trees.
Receptions at Bunnyconnellen move to The Shed, the Fig Tree Garden or long tables in the olive grove.

Every barn package includes the permanent bar and its staff, with spirits and cocktails on tap.
A stylist and wedding coordination come with each package, and the in-house hire company supplies furniture, table decor, crockery and cutlery.
Guests can camp on unpowered sites with toilets and showers, in tents, caravans, swags or rooftop tents.
For 30 guests or fewer, the homestead can be booked as its own overnight venue from Monday to Thursday.

Packages at Bunnyconnellen

The classic package runs ten hours, covering ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and dancing.
A micro wedding runs five hours for up to 50 guests, and an elopement runs two hours for up to 20.
Each package covers staff, furniture, set-up, venue hire, planning and coordination on the day.
The farm is fully licensed with drinks packages, a bar tab or pay-as-you-go drinks, and couples choose a caterer from an approved list.
