About Briars Conservatory

Briars Conservatory is a charming country wedding venue located just outside Bowral in the Southern Highlands, offering an all-inclusive experience on 15 acres of manicured gardens and tranquil grounds. Formerly known as Briars Country Retreat, the property is perfectly suited to destination weddings with on-site accommodation available for all guests at The Inn.

Wedding packages at Briars include picturesque lakeside ceremonies followed by receptions in the venue's elegant conservatory. This private, light-filled space is surrounded by greenery and provides a beautiful setting for seated or cocktail-style celebrations. The short walking distance between ceremony, reception and accommodation makes the logistics of your wedding day incredibly seamless.

Additional spaces add to the venue's versatility, including an intimate public bar ideal for after-parties, and private dining rooms perfect for welcome dinners or recovery brunches.
