About Bunnyconnellen

Bunnyconnellen is a working high country farm on Swain Road at Plainby, just north of Crows Nest in the Toowoomba region. Its history runs back to the 1800s as a dairy and sheep farm, and it still has an olive grove and vineyard among its paddocks. Hosts Kate and Oliver run it as a boutique wedding and event venue, taking only a limited number of weddings each year. Couples who marry here have the whole property to themselves, including the homestead and a cottage. Ceremonies can be held under The Gum Tree, on the upper or lower lawns, in The Hay Shed, The Chapel or The Olive Grove. Receptions move to The Shed, a restored farm building, the Fig Tree Garden or long tables set out in the olive grove. Weddings come as a classic ten-hour package covering ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and dancing, a micro wedding of five hours for up to 50 guests, or a two-hour elopement for up to 20. Every package covers staff, furniture, set-up, venue hire, planning and coordination on the day. The farm is fully licensed and has a commercial kitchen, and couples choose a caterer from an approved list. Private functions such as bridal showers, corporate tours and private lunches can be arranged too, with the events team helping to match a caterer to the style and budget.
