About Seclusions

Seclusions is a 20‑acre wedding venue where rustic meets elegance. An amphitheatre overlooking the Blue Mountains provides the ceremony site, with a rustic barn for drinks and an open‑air pavilion for receptions.

Seclusions Blue Mountains strikes a really nice balance between rustic charm and sweeping mountain views. The outdoor amphitheatre is a standout – it looks out over rolling ridges and distant peaks, which makes for a pretty unforgettable spot to say your vows. After the ceremony, there’s a natural flow to the evening: guests head to the barn for canapés, then into the open-air pavilion for dinner and dancing under the stars. There are six log cabins scattered around the property, giving your wedding party their own little village to settle into.

And yes, there’s even a hot tub – perfect for winding down once the celebrations are done. One of the things that makes Seclusions such a solid option is the all-weather setup. The barn can easily double as a ceremony space if the weather turns, and the pavilion has retractable walls to keep everyone comfortable no matter what. The owners only host one wedding at a time and are hands-on in the best way, so the whole experience feels relaxed, personal, and really well looked after. For couples who want those epic mountain views without having to go too far from Sydney, Seclusions ticks a lot of boxes – beautiful setting, thoughtful layout, and a genuinely welcoming vibe.

Our wedding at Seclusions was beyond anything we could have dreamed of. The venue itself is breathtaking, but what truly makes it extraordinary are the owners, Russell and Malynda. These two are worth their weight in gold. Their warmth,…
