Wallalong House is a Hunter Valley wedding venue located just out of the gorgeous town of Morpeth, two hours north of Sydney in the Hunter Valley NSW. The house is surrounded by 200-year-old fig trees at the ceremony site, with elevated country views and complete privacy.
The moment your guests walk through the gates of Wallalong House the tone is set for an idyllic weekend wedding celebration.
As the iron gates open, your eyes are drawn along the pear-tree-lined driveway to the 1830's sandstone stables with original cobblestone flooring and decorative iron rails, purchased from the Crystal Palace Exhibition auction in London in 1854.
Sitting proudly amongst four massive two-hundred-year-old fig trees, with breathtaking elevated views of the surrounding farmland, Wallalong House is the perfect location for a couple wanting complete privacy on their wedding day.
Wallalong House is located ten minutes from the gorgeous historic town of Morpeth, an easy two hours north of Sydney in the Hunter Valley NSW. There are extensive accommodation and transport choices for wedding guests in surrounding areas.
Choose from two catering options: Fennel & Co, and Suki Mamas Authentic Asian Infused Street Food. Other services are also available as needed, including Photographers, Celebrants, Florists, Hair and Makeup, Dress Design, Transport, and Event Planning and Styling.
There are many locations in and around the gardens and historic property perfect for superb photos: including the 1830’s sandstone stables, wide sweeping verandahs, in-ground pool and four incredibly large fig trees with breathtaking views.
We are able to provide in-house styling to help you create a wedding that surpasses your expectations. Our styling team have extensive experience sourcing any items you require. They are happy to assist from the very beginning of your planning with original styling ideas right up to organising and set up.
Wallalong House has an elegance and warmth that make it a distinctively different and beautiful venue.
The grounds of the Estate feature antique wooden daybeds, french iron chairs and tables sprinkled on the lawns, four 200-year-old fig trees that line the front of the property where the Ceremonies are held, an in-ground pool nestled on the edge of the Indian tent where the Receptions are held, and a splendid mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture.
Jess Dunbar and Matt Price, of the Australian musical duo Jess and Matt, first met at music college, where they became best friends before it quickly turned into a relationship.
They exchanged vows on the grounds of Wallalong House in the Hunter Valley, where they would later host their evening reception. 'We really wanted to have a getaway weekend where our guests could come and let their hair down and stay out of town. The Hunter Valley is still so close to our home Sydney, but really feels like a different world from the city and you're transported to some of the most stunning landscapes we've ever seen.'
Jess says they chose the very first venue they visited. 'We didn't even need to say the words to each other, we both knew. It had everything we could have wanted.'
Their evening reception was hosted in the elegant marquee at Wallalong House.
'We wanted the light to be warm to match the relaxed vibe in the room. We knew we always wanted a cocktail wedding that focused on a party vibe where everyone interacted and wasn't separated. We love that people aren't forced to sit with whomever we place them with; it encourages people to mingle and meet new people.'

Hi Bernie. We just wanted to say a huge thankyou for everything over the weekend and in the lead-up to our wedding.
When you have so many guests who have traveled so far to share the day with you, you want to make it pretty special and Wallalong House exceeded all our expectations. We were able to create some very special memories not just as a couple going into married life but also as a family as a whole.
The house was brilliant for our needs, being able to use all your amazing bits and pieces around the house all added to the many small things that made the day just perfect. We were so lucky with the weather and the pool was well used by all our English guests.
The team you have working the weddings were lovely, so accommodating and approachable to all our needs. A special shout out to Jeff who went above and beyond, giving us tips and pointers about the house and grounds, was a fabulous and observant bar tender on the night and was our saviour Monday morning by bringing us jump leads.
Ian and I had a wedding that was perfect and magical beyond our wildest dreams, and lots of that was due to your venue. We almost want to go and do it all again! Thank you for everything.
- Katie and Ian, 2019
