How many guests can Lilburndale cater for?

Lilburndale can cater for up to 110 guests for sit-down and cocktail/canape-style dining wedding receptions - still with ample room for that all-important dance floor.

Does Lilburndale supply any furniture for the wedding ceremony or reception i.e. tables and chairs?

We absolutely do. Furniture for both ceremony and reception are included as a part of the venue hire - we're talking beautiful wooden pews for the ceremony and long timber trestle tables with matching bentwood chairs for the reception. We also include in our package a full set-up of leather chesterfields and armchairs, velvet lounge suites, timber coffee tables and additional full and half-height wine barrels. In short, you don't need to hire in a thing.

Do we do the styling ourselves?

We've got the main things covered so you don't need to lift a finger (or more-so, a chair). When you hire Lilburndale, your fee includes the Lilburndale styling package. Here, we're talking all the furniture you'd possibly need, elegant vintage white crockery, stemware including crystal-cut tumblers, linen cloth napkins, vases and urns for you or your florist to use, a blackboard and easel for your menu, lush kentia palms for a pop of greenery and more. We also offer some additional optional styling items to hire.

We'll set The Packing Shed up for you so all you need to do is add any floral styling you wish. We can also set up any personal wedding items in consultation with you, like wedding favours, place cards, menus, your wishing well etc. for an additional hourly fee. On the day of your wedding, your focus should be soaking up the good vibes with your nearest and dearest and we'll support this in any way possible.

Who will be at the venue on the day? What happens if something goes wrong?

No stress - we've got you totally covered. When you get married at Lilburndale, you'll have your own wedding coordinator (hi from Felicity!) who will be there to hold your hands in the lead up to the big day. And on the day, Lilburndale's venue manager (hello, Amy here!) will be right there to ensure things run smoothly and look amazing on the day.

Both our venue coordinator and manager work exclusively at Lilburndale and know the venue back-to-front, so you're in the very best care. All you've got to do is focus on having a good time (trust us, that won't be hard).

Does Lilburndale have accommodation options on-site?

While we don't have onsite accommodation at Lilburndale, there are ample beds at the Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley just 20 minutes down the road. The Crowne Plaza will offer all Lilburndale couples discounted room rates on group bookings - we can share a contact with you, should you book Lilburndale for your big day. There are also several Airbnb's within the region for guests as well. This is a frequently asked question?

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Is the venue handicap accessible if we have any guests with mobility needs?

Yes, there is full access and amenities for guests with mobility needs, and easy transport between the ceremony and reception areas as well.

Does Lilburndale allow pets onsite?

We know that for many, fur babies are part of the family though due to the working nature of our farm, we can't have any extra paws on the property. We do, however, have plenty of animals here to help fill the void that would love to cameo in your photos and keep you company.
