The day moves through three quiet corners of the property, each one styled by The State Of, designed to feel like one long, easy afternoon into evening.

The Lavender Garden
A semi-circle of seating arranged in the lavender, beneath the gums. Florals trace the aisle and the arbour.

The Fountain Courtyard
Italian aperitivo around the stone fountain: high-bar tables, low-bar tables, umbrellas and a string trio.

The Marquee
A draped marquee with long tables, a custom blush linen, Pepi's Italiano dinnerware, and a dance floor that opens late.
Redleaf sits in a quiet pocket of the Hunter Valley, two and a half hours north of Sydney and ninety minutes from Newcastle. The property runs along a bend of the Wollombi Brook, with paddocks, river gums, the Lavender Garden, and very dark night skies.
2h 30m from Sydney via the M1 and Cessnock. 1h 30m from Newcastle. On-site parking, and a designated drop-off for guests with limited mobility.
Your presence at Redleaf is the greatest gift we could ask for. For those who have asked, a small registry sits below.
View the registry →We adore your little ones, but with the exception of immediate family the celebration will be an adults-only affair. We hope this gives you a chance for an evening off.
Mid-spring Hunter Valley: bright days around 22–24°C, and cooler evenings near 10–12°C. We'll have heaters and wraps under the marquee, but a light coat or shawl is a kind thing to pack.
Yes, we'll be running coach transfers to and from Redleaf. You'll be asked for your hotel location during the RSVP process and can opt in there. Final pick-up times and routes will be shared with confirmed guests closer to the day.
We'd love for you to be fully present in the Lavender Garden. A photographer is capturing everything, and we'll share an album afterward. After "I do", please photograph everything.
Kindly respond by 10 August 2026. You'll be able to confirm attendance and opt in to our coach transfers.
