Lots of photo spots
A wedding day schedule's best friend is having everything all in one location. At Waratah Weddings, you can seamlessly move from the ceremony to family photos, the reception, and end-of-night celebrations without ever needing to leave. This means less time driving and more time enjoying the special moments at Waratah Wedding & Function Venue.
In this approach, the photographer acts as an observer, capturing candid moments as they happen naturally. They don’t interfere with the events but instead, try to document the raw emotions and genuine interactions. This can make your photos feel more personal and dynamic.
When it comes to having weddings at Waratah Wedding & Function Venue, you have plenty of choices, and with three main distinct locations to keep in mind, you might wonder why you would want to pick between the chapel, the archway in the garden, or the wedding arbor by the water stream.
It all comes down to the weather, and not just rain. Sometimes you need to consider where the sun will be too. If it’s too hot, you might need to go inside, or think about facing your wedding south or west to avoid too much sunlight. Be sure to check the average temperature for the day you’re booking and what direction the sun will be at that time of year.
An outdoor wedding in the sun means you might want to keep the ceremony shorter for the traditional 2-3 pm time slot, or you could take a creative approach and schedule it in the morning or later in the evening. Factoring in the sun can mean you feel better and won’t look sun-bleached on the day.

Waratah Weddings ensures a range of choices from their recommended caterers:
This style aims to mimic the look of film photography with its characteristic color tones and grain. Images edited in this style often have a nostalgic, timeless feel.
The Waratah Bar is a fantastic feature to have at your wedding. With drinks readily available close to the end of the ceremony, you can cool off and enjoy the day just as you want. It’s a great spot to relax and take advantage of the bar setup, adding a unique and enjoyable element to your wedding venue. Having so much in one location truly enhances the experience for you and your guests.
Waratah Weddings comes with its own photo wall backdrop, nestled in the corner of the venue, making it the perfect spot for the photo booth to keep guests entertained from 7 PM to midnight. There’s no need to bring in an extra wall because the setup is already beautiful. Anything else would just take away from its charm. The photo booth is always a hit with guests, and you’ll love looking back at the guest signing album filled with funny photos in your wedding keepsake book. The photo booth really helps people break out of their comfort zone, and they’ll be eagerly waiting for the prints to come out, creating endless fun and laughter.
When it comes to typical wedding photography, especially those set in outdoor, natural settings or rustic venues, certain editing styles are more commonly used to complement the surroundings and evoke a certain mood. A common style is the sepia tone colour palette, the “light and airy”.
The “light and airy” style is often favoured for daytime outdoor weddings, where the abundant natural light is leveraged to create dreamy, ethereal images. This style is characterized by soft, pastel colors, gentle shadows, and a general emphasis on light, lending a romantic, almost fairy-tale-like quality to the pictures.
Many venues boast a single standout feature, but Waratah is a favorite for its versatility and photogenic appeal throughout the day and night. It’s perfect for capturing stunning photos from any angle. Some of the standout spots and features include:
– Lawns with well-manicured grass
– Freshly grown gardens with vibrant blooms
– Well-kept spaces that provide a pristine backdrop
Whether you’re taking photos by the elegant archway, the charming old windmill, the serene water stream, or the picturesque chapel, Waratah offers endless opportunities for beautiful wedding memories.
