Oatlands House is a private wedding venue, and therefore a direct booking is required for both the ceremony location and any subsequent reception. You will need to contact the venue's events team to discuss availability, package options, and all associated fees. The ceremony-only fee may vary depending on the day of the week, time, guest numbers, and the specific location within the estate you choose.
The authority responsible for making a booking and discussing fees is the venue management team:
As a full-service wedding venue, fees and requirements are typically structured as part of a comprehensive wedding package which can cover the ceremony, reception, and catering. For smaller, ceremony-only bookings (like a simple ceremony option), the fee and guest number capacity will be clearly defined by the venue. For example, a celebrant partner of the venue notes a fee is required to reserve a location and that an increase in guest numbers beyond a standard limit will incur an additional fee (e.g., $75 for 100+ people in some packages). It is essential to confirm all requirements and fees directly with the Oatlands House team.
Standard: 20 People. Add Guests: Add up to 100+ in total +$75.
You can have up to 20 people (the 2 of you and 18 guests) at your ceremony. This excludes children under 6 years old. For an additional fee of $75, this number can be increased to 100+ people in total. To add guests after your initial booking, go to the Add-ons tab in your portal.
I understand that, it is my responsibility to make the required booking with the park authority and pay any associated site fees directly to them.
Please aim to arrive 15 minutes prior to your ceremony (along with your guests) to ensure you are in the right location and ready to go at your scheduled time. Oatlands House is conveniently located in the Sydney suburb of Oatlands, close to Parramatta.
Oatlands House is located at 42 Bettington Rd, Oatlands NSW 2117. It is easily accessible via the M4 Western Motorway and James Ruse Drive. Use a GPS or a maps app for the most direct route. It is a simple drive from the Sydney CBD or Western Sydney areas. There is ample on-site parking available for guests within the estate grounds, making it a stress-free option for those driving.
The closest major train station is Parramatta Station, which is a major transport hub. From Parramatta Station, you can then take a bus or a short taxi/ride-share trip to Oatlands House.

For larger wedding parties and to ensure a smooth transport experience for all your guests, consider hiring a dedicated shuttle bus or coach service.
