Montrose House

I am a Southern Highlands wedding photographer that has photographed at Montrose House on multiple occasions. The location and venue are stunning which is set in the beautiful Southern Highlands. A perfect location to have your wedding, highly recommended. John Benavente Photography

Absolutely love working at Montrose House. Might be biased as I also got married here.
Food is always 5 star, Daniela and her team are amazing and super helpful, as both a customer and a vendor.
The decor and setting is so unique and beautiful it really sets the scene for a beautiful Southern Highlands wedding!

An absolute dream wedding venue! From the moment we booked until the last guest left, Montrose House exceeded every expectation. The team was incredibly helpful and responsive during the planning process, offering valuable advice and answering all our questions with patience and expertise. On the day of the wedding, their staff were the epitome of professionalism, friendliness and attentiveness. Every detail was flawlessly executed, leaving us free to enjoy every moment of our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team of staff. Highly recommend Montrose House to anyone looking for a perfect wedding experience!

I did a live wedding painting here last month and oh my goodness, it's one of the most beautiful locations I've been to! Unfortunately, the wedding was moved to the barn due to the rain, so I painted their original ceremony location. I can see they've made some changes through the years. Everywhere you turn, you're greeted with a picturesque view. It's incredible in Autumn! The staff were all so wonderful as well. And even the bathroom is stunning!

I was at Montrose House for my brothers wedding this weekend past 5/3/22. What an amazing estate! Beautiful wedding photography is a breeze here. From the moment we arrived the day before to familiarise ourselves with the venue the staff were warm, inviting and friendly. The lady who was coordinating was very helpful with her guidance and reassuring in the planning of the event. Being onsite all day in the lead up meant it was relaxing for the bride-to-be with somewhere to 'chill out' with her bridesmaids and a parlour for hair and makeup. Beside the reception room there is the new addition/wet weather option undercover but open on one side. It also allowed people to step out during the reception.
Overall a wonderful option just shy of 1.5hrs south of Sydney for a wedding.
Highly recommend!

We had our wedding at Montrose house in September and it was magical, absolutely everything we wanted for our big day. Their online portal helped tame the monumental task that is wedding planning. On the day the team was so organised and smooth, the set up perfect, and the Chef & I food was very tasty! Several guests gave me this feedback and told me how great the staff were. And of course the venue is just gorgeous. 10/10 recommend, the mulled wine was a hit too :)

If you’ve been to this venue then you can skip reading this paragraph because there is no way that we can do the beauty of this venue justice with words alone. If you haven’t – this place is simply incredible. Enormous old trees, creating beautiful shade on a warm day and beautiful lighting for photos green lawn for games and fun, amazing facilities for guests and vendors to use throughout the day. This place truly has everything.

One of the main things we wanted for our big day was to be married, have photos and hold our reception all in the one place and Montrose is perfect for all of these things. With numerous exquisite backdrops for photos all within a 150 meter radius our photographer, Michael Gray, was able to capture the most beautiful images with such efficiency that we felt like we were back enjoying time with our guests in no time at all.

And then you meet Daniela. Her help and knowledge leading up to the day was invaluable. Nothing was ever too much and we always felt so calm and reassured after speaking to her. And then she was honestly the MVP of the day. She ensured everything ran smoothly whilst always bringing such a positive energy and smile. Honestly, words cannot express how thankful we are for Daniela’s help and guidance through the chaos of the wedding journey. If you have the opportunity to book this venue, grab it while you can, it’ll be everything you want and more.

Massive shout out to Daniella and Kaddy and the rest of the team at Montrose, they were so helpful and everything we asked for or wanted was no problem to them. Their experience was invaluable to making our night perfect. Food was so good and the staff had this knack for being invisible until you needed something then they were right there to help before fading into the background again.

We celebrated our wedding at Montrose in September, and it was the perfect venue for us. We were looking to have a garden wedding, and when we inspected montrose we were more than satisfied with what it was able to offer us. Basically we were looking for a venue that could do it all, including an indoor/covered ceremony option that didn’t disappoint (which we ended up using due to unprecedented rain), being able to host the ceremony and reception (more easy on us and our guests, so they wouldn’t have to travel between locations), and also allow us to be able to take all our photos/video on site. Montrose ticked all the boxes and was a done deal.
Not even to mention the bridal parlour (which my MUA and hair artists loved for getting us all ready - had heaps of space for setting up) or the cottage (which made it super easy for us to turn in after the wedding, and was so warm and cosy!)

Daniela was such a pleasure to speak with and kept everything organised and on track leading up to the wedding (happily answering all my questions as the stress inevitably built haha).
The day definitely wouldn’t have run as smoothly as it did without Daniela and her team, they did an amazing job, and I highly recommend Montrose if you’re looking for a venue that can do it all!

I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else, Montrose House and Daniela are incredible. Let's start with the venue. When my husband and I first saw Montrose House, we had all but booked another venue. Montrose House was the 6th venue that we visited and on our way there we were questioning whether or not it was worth going to have a look . We then drove up the driveway to Montrose House and were blown away. The ceremony space is absolute magic, with grand old pine trees, stunning gardens, beautiful antique french doors and Montrose House (built in 1861) set in the background. It is hard to describe how beatiful this area is. You then progress onto the lawn, with incredible willow trees and an antique greenhouse used as the garden bar, the (newly built) open barn which is perfect for cocktail hour and couples as a great back up in the event of wet weather, and finally the reception hall with long tables, fireplace and basket chandelier. So many of our guests commented on how stunning the venue was! PLUS - bonus there is also the Parlour and Mews cottage on site which was not only great to get ready/ sleep in pre and post wedding but was also the perfect area for a babysitter to hide out in if you have any tiny babies that need to be close to their Mums. Then there is Daniela who is one of those rare people you meet in your life, who has such an incredible energy, that whenever you meet with her or speak on the phone with her, you are left feeling completely at ease and even more excited about your wedding. I would be lying if I said that Daniela herself was not another reason that we chose Montrose House. I have waffled on but the main message to take away is that if you book Montrose House, you will have the most wonderful experience from start to finish. Thank you Daniela, and the whole Montrose House team for making our day incredible.

We had my daughter's wedding there, I can't stop telling people how wonderful it all was, the staff, the property, the grounds, the set-up, the activities for guests whilst the bride and groom were mingling taking photos, the attention to detail, the food and drink options, were definitely the best I had ever experienced. A wedding at Montrose is a Spectacular event. It has changed my opinion about wedding reception venues. I can honest say that guests remarked many many times that "this is the best wedding ever". Obviously a lot of that has to do with the bride and groom but everyone did have a blast 😀.

This is the Southern Highlands finest ! I attended a wedding at Montrose, and was impressed with the stunning, well kept English garden, and the glasshouse bar is beautiful! The reception hall is so glamorous, and very comfortable. The staff service is impeccable and the food plentiful, well presented and delicious ! I hope to be a part of another wedding here again soon !

Beautiful Wedding Venue.
Loved the facilities and loved the staff.

Montrose House hosted our wedding on the 14th October 2023! To the venue, the grounds and the hosts were amazing and our day was perfect and flawless! Communication with Daniella for the 2 years of planning our wedding was perfect. She was always available for me to reassure, guide and celebrate our day x our day ran very smoothly, we had no stress and our running sheet ran by schedule as planned. I also got ready at the Mews Cottage and this was perfect for myself, mum and sister in law! The lighting, elegancy and decor of the place was stunning and perfect for my beautician and hair dresser, lighting was on point!
I cannot recommend Montrose House enough to host the day of your dreams with your closest family and friends, they will be stunned !!
Love always,
Mr and Mrs Shaw! x

My absolute favourite Southern Highlands wedding venue. Montrose house is has everything I love as a wedding photographer. Gorgeous wedding ceremony locations, beautiful getting ready accomodation. Insanely beautiful grounds for photos and super lovely hosts.

Lovely venue for a wedding. Plenty of space and different areas on the grounds for the ceremony.

We got married at Montrose in February and could not have picked a more perfect venue. Daniela and her team were easy to work with and provided incredible service in the lead up and on the night. Not only did we have so many comments on how stunning the grounds were, but everyone was blown away (including us) by the level of service. For example, lots of people brought a spare pair of shoes with them for the dance floor, which they handed to the staff, and were shocked to find that they had taken the time to place them under their seats for them! It was all of these small touches that made the day so enjoyable and run so smoothy. If you're looking for a full service venue where you don't need to hire a day-of wedding coordinator, you can't go past Montrose!

My daughter and son-in-law were married here yesterday, and it was amazing! The staff went above and beyond to make the day run without a hitch. Friendly, accommodating, efficient - everything was perfection. Highly recommend!

Montrose House was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They went above and beyond to make our day special and are so well organised. The estate is gorgeous and the team there are so helpful. Every time we go there, it gets more and more beautiful too as they continue to improve their offerings. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

We recently played for a wedding here at Montrose and the place was really beautiful. It was indeed a hidden gem. Daniela, the event manager is very responsive and provided us all of the details we need for the wedding. Highly recommended for weddings and intimate occasions.
