Where is The Stables of Somersby?
We're in Somersby on the NSW Central Coast hinterland, about an hour north of Sydney, an hour south of Newcastle and less than half an hour from Terrigal and Wahroonga, just off the M1. We share the exact address and directions when you book a viewing.

Midweek packages are for up to 50 or 100 guests, and our elopement and micro wedding packages are for up to 6, 20 or 35 guests depending on the package. All packages can be extended for extra guests.
How much does a wedding cost?

Is the venue exclusive to us?
Yes. The whole venue and grounds are yours for the day. We only ever host one wedding at a time.
Can we choose our own caterer?
Yes, you can choose any caterer and style of catering you like, and there's a catering room on site. All our new bookings receive our list of recommended suppliers who know the venue.
Can we bring our own drinks?
Yes, you bring your own drinks, which keeps you in complete control of your budget. They must be served by hired RSA qualified bar staff, one for every 30 guests.
What happens if it rains?
You have peace of mind with a stunning wet weather backup in our romantic, fairy lit Pavilion. Our couples tell us it never feels like a plan B. In fact, for some couples it's plan A.
What time does the night finish?
Celebrations finish at 10.30pm Thursday to Sunday, and 9.30pm Monday to Wednesday.
Where can we get ready and stay?
For our full weekend and midweek weddings, The Loft, our luxury wedding suite, is yours for getting ready and for your wedding night. See the Loft.
Do we get help planning the day?
Yes. You have our suppliers list as well as all the advice and help you need during your planning. You'll have a coordinator meeting about three to four months before your wedding, a run sheet prepared for you and your suppliers, and your coordinator with you on the day.
When can we set up?
You and your suppliers have access from 2pm the day before your wedding for set-up and deliveries.
Is there parking?
Yes, there's parking on the property for up to 50 cars, and easy access for coaches to drop guests right near the venue.
Is the venue accessible?
Yes. The Barn, the Pavilion and the lawns are close together on one level, so there's easy access for anyone using a wheelchair or walker. Just let us know if any of your guests need a hand and we'll help make their day easy.
Is there anything we can't bring?
To keep the property and our horses safe, we don't allow artificial confetti, fireworks, sky lanterns or open flames on the tables. There's also no swimming in the dam and no camping on site.
Can we bring our dog?
Absolutely, we're a pet friendly venue. Lots of our couples have their dogs in the ceremony and photos and we love having them here. Just chat to us about your plans and we'll work out the details together.
Do you host same sex weddings?
Absolutely. Every couple is warmly welcomed at The Stables.
Can we book a viewing?
Yes, please do! Photos only tell half the story. Send us an enquiry, tick the box for a viewing and we'll be excited to show you around.
