Burnham Grove Estate - Cawdor, New South Wales

Amber Paige

We married at Burnham Grove in May 2024 and could not have been happier with our day. The grounds are absolutely stunning, with so many beautiful locations to have your ceremony and take photos. We fell in love with the Secret Garden during our first viewing and the space provided the most intimate, and lush backdrop to exchange our vows. Despite being a very windy day, we were completely protected in the Secret Garden.

The homestead is the perfect place to take photos while you're getting ready, with three gorgeous bedrooms, a lounge, a huge, luxurious bathroom, as well as separate areas for the bride and groom to get dressed separately if you choose to do so. We stayed here the night of our wedding as part of the package.

The reception was decorated perfectly, and we had the option to choose from a variety of long or round tables, different colured chairs, tableclothes and napkins. The draping on the ceiling and beautiful fairy lights were the perfect touch.

I have seen some older reviews mention music volumes as an issue, but the level was perfect. Not so loud you have to scream to have a conversation, but perfectly loud to dance the night away, which is exactly what we did. DJ Rod who was provided through Marcarthur Entertainment did an incredible job with playing music we requested - 90s/00s with a dash of 80s thrown in for good measure.

The food was delicious and served on time. Being vegan, it was important to us that we get to share delcious food to all our family and friends beyond boring salads and the chefs at Burnham were very accommodating in coming up with a fully vegan menu, including canapes, entree and mains.

Finally, and most importantly, we wanted to give a HUGE thanks to Courtney who was the most incredible coordinator to deal with during planning and on the day itself. No question or request was too much for Courtney, who went above and beyond to make our day so perfect. She is an absolute superstar and our day would not have been the same without her.

If you're looking for a venue with amazing outdoor views, Burnham is the place for you. With 45 acres of land, Burnham had a variety of special spots for amazing photography. Courtney and Juliet were amazing during the whole process and would respond quickly. The homestead is a cute little place for an overnight stay, however, if you're planning on doing a Sunday wedding, like we did, check in is Sunday 12pm, which means not Saturday night stay due to the Saturday couple staying overnight. We had our ceremony at the Peppercorn Chapel, which was stunning. If you're lucky, like we were, some of the cows and horses came close enough for our guests to see in the background and for our photographer to capture. The Garden Marquee where you would have your reception was beautiful, we had 138 guests, which was perfect as we didn't need a big dance floor, however, if you do need a big dance floor and have more than 130 guests, it might be a bit small. Canapes were amazing - it was a big hoot with all of my guests. Entrees were delicious, I was a little bit disappointed with our mains (chicken and pork), however, my pescatarian guests were extremely happy with their seafood. In terms of heating and cooling system, there were no issues. The sound system could have been better, but I think it is a result of the reception in the area. If you're looking to party all night long, music is to stop at 10pm, however, what I really liked for a Sunday wedding was that it started at 5pm. If you want a wedding where you can have your ceremony and reception in one spot, Burnham is for you. The views and vibes were amazing, a more modern rustic country atmosphere if that is what you're looking for.

We had our wedding there last weekend! The staff at burnham were amazing for them moment we sat with them for our first meeting two years ago till the day we left! We had a Friday wedding which included two night of accommodation which was amazing and allowed us to set up a few things the day before!

The venue was in perfect condition and looked amazing. The whole layout of the day flowed amazing and the golf carts to transport us around was fun! The swing addition was so cool and with so many areas to get photos it was amazing!

Food was amazing especially the canapés we loved them and so did the guest. Such a different array of food to choose from it was great!

We were lucky enough to have our wedding at Burnham Grove Estate and it was an abolutely incredible day from start to finish - thanks in large part to Courtney, Kris and their team. The actual site provided the most stunning backdrop, while the attention to detail from the whole team put my panicked bride brain to ease throughout the whole process. I don't use the word perfect very often, but I was so lucky to have the most perfect wedding day. The team went absolutely above and beyond and I cannot thank them enough. Their space and wedding packages are so versatile that it can suit every kind of theme - I decided to go with a dark romantic vibe - and the team tried so hard to make it so personal for us. I would recommend this venue to anybody wanting to make their wedding dreams come true.

We just had our wedding here this Saturday and it was absolutely amazing. We were so lucky with the weather and there was the most amazing sunset for our photos. The venue is incredibly beautiful and well maintained and the staff were incredibly helpful. Courtney and Kris are amazing and really do their best to make your special day perfect. I highly recommend this venue for a wedding. I did alot of research when searching for a venue and this venue ticked all the boxes in terms of not too far from Sydney, reasonable pricing for the package offered and beautiful site.

Burnham Grove was the first venue we visited when planning our wedding and we immediately fell in love with it and went ahead with the booking. The grounds are stunning, particularly the Secret Garden, amongst a number of other different locations within the estate that you can take your location shoots in. For me, I loved the convenience of being able to have both our ceremony and reception in the same location (with the venue being exclusive to our use), and the guests being able to enjoy canapés and drinks in between. The Burnham Grove staff are also very attentive and made our planning process a lot smoother. From coordinating with our chosen suppliers to suggesting the quantity of each ingredients to purchase as we chose to serve cocktails to having dedicated on the day coordinator, we are simply amazed by the Burnham Grove staff (special shout out to Lee-Michelle, Courtney and Kris). Thank you for having us and for making my dream of a fairy tale wedding come true!
