Why Farm Wedding Venues Work for Every Wedding Style
Does the thought of the quiet countryside sweep you away when you imagine the perfect setting for your “I do's”? The choice between farm wedding venues starts with a desire for a peaceful space.
But does the rural setting limit you to a rustic theme? At Nutting Hill Villa, located in the heart of the breathtaking Byron Bay hinterland, a hinterland celebration is a blank canvas, not a stylistic constraint.
Our venue caters beautifully to high-end editorial galas and whimsical garden parties alike, as we endeavour to adapt to the soul of every celebration.
A Canvas for High-End Elegance
Farm wedding venues do not have to mean hay bales and lace mason jars. That charm works for some, but modern couples increasingly seek a vibe that blends rural scenery with European sophistication.
Nutting Hill Villa’s Tuscan architecture immediately elevates the atmosphere. Instead of simple paddocks, you enjoy a grand portico and a soaring turret that serves as a high-fashion backdrop for your portraits.
We also meticulously designed our gardens to be non-seasonal, so you never have to worry about changing leaves or dormant winter branches. Our tropical grounds remain lush all year round. This consistency allows you to plan a black-tie in July with an emerald backdrop to perfectly complement your palette.
Versatile Spaces for Your Unique Narrative
Every wedding is a journey from the get-ready shots to the ceremony, where your futures are sealed together forever. The most beautiful celebrations are those that take place at a venue with the infrastructure to house these different parts of the day.
Getting Ready: Use the rooms within the main villa to do final wedding prep at your own pace. We do not bill for accommodation separately, so the entire villa is yours.
Reception: We offer two reception spaces – the Plantation Room hosts up to 200 seated guests for a grand affair, and the Pavilion on the Green perfectly suits smaller groups of 100.
The Atmosphere: Both spaces feature polished concrete floors and fairy-lit ceilings. If you dream of voluminous ceiling draping, a perennial favourite for adding romance, our structures can accommodate it easily.
Weatherproofing Your Vision with Hinterland Protection
Coastal and beach ceremonies carry a massive risk: unpredictable elements. High winds challenge even the best hairspray and intense heat or sudden rain can leave guests uncomfortable. This is where farm wedding venues in the hinterland shine.
They are positioned away from the windy shore between the hinterland trees to create a protected environment. Our covered reception spaces ensure that your décor, catering and guests are shielded from the elements. Bonus? You still get the open-air feeling through minimal walling that merges the gardens with your dance floor.
Make the Space Yours
Our hinterland location gives brides total creative freedom. No rigid in-house catering or restrictive planning bundles. We provide the grand Mediterranean architecture and lush grounds and you get to bring the talent – caterers, florists and stylists – who understand your vision for the day.
This means every element, from the texture of the linens to the flavour profiles on the menu, aligns with your Pinterest boards and daydreams!
You can also include high-impact features to the day that coastal sites prohibit, like a professional fireworks display to signal the start of the party. Out here, your celebration is not subject to strict noise and permit constraints, so you get to experience all of these grand, cinematic moments carefree.
And with multiple spaces to spread out the day’s events, your guests can watch the display from the elevated perspective of the villa tower or from the polished floors of the Plantation Room – unique touches that transform a standard reception into a world-class event.
