The venue: Araluen

Araluen Chapel

Tim and I researched potential venues online and considered everything from vineyards to beaches. We narrowed down our options to a shortlist of 3 and visited The Retreat at Wisemans, Curzon Hall, and Araluen. We chose Araluen, which Tim says “was in a different league to the others”.

Araluen is a beautiful house built in 1894. It’s in Epping, just 17km away from our house. On the same site is a purpose-built wedding chapel, so we can have the ceremony and reception in the same location. They will take care of the ceremony, flowers, food, drink, music, cake, and car!


Welcome to the wedding blog of

We are getting married at Araluen
on November 23rd, 2008.
