Gen and Lewis had an eventful Audley Dance Hall Wedding and Pop Up Elopement.

The weir to access the dancehall was closed due to flooding in the days leading up to their wedding day and there had been a slight landslide to the access road via Waterfall. The night before the wedding they had a tree come down near the cottage they were staying at above the Dance Hall which cut power and blocked the road from the other direction.

In true Audley Dance Hall style, they had a team there early the next morning to cut down the tree and the ceremony and reception were able to go ahead bathed in candlelight accompanied by string instruments. Such a professional team who go above and beyond to make your day incredibly special. Rain, hail or shine!

Gen had a vision of wildflowers mixed with gum foliage to tie in with the bush setting of the Royal National Park for their Audley Dance Hall Wedding Flowers. After a first look on the gorgeous white bridge that crosses the river they made their way to their ceremony on the deck of Audley Dance Hall where our garden arch was scattered in wildflowers and their reception tables with low arrangements sat in the background.

​Holly and Liam married at Reid Flats for an Audley Dance Hall Wedding celebration.

Holly and her maids spent the morning getting ready at Reid's Cottage, such a gorgeous space overlooking the river. The path to the cottage was covered in gum leaves that last weeks wedding party had punched hearts in to make natural confetti, such a lovely sight to arrive to!

The cottage is perfectly positioned allowing Holly and her maids to walk from the cottage down a few steps to the ceremony by the river.

We created abundant florals in tones of blush, soft pinks, apricots, whites and burgandy. 

After the ceremony by the river at Reid flats, just as the rain was starting to fall the celebration moved on to the Dance Hall for a long lunch,

An Audley Dance Hall wedding is always one of our favourites to create, so many ceremony options, the dance hall is a blank canvas and the staff there go above and beyond. There is also the added bonus of having backup options to fall back on if there is rain forecast for your day.  ​

​If you’re looking for wedding location that feels like a destination wedding without leaving Sydney, Audley Dance Hall tick’s all the boxes. As soon as you enter the Royal National Park you will you travel down the winding bends that take you down to the river. After slowing down to take in the vista as you cross the narrow weir you will round another bend and come across Audley Dance Hall. It’s such a lovely venue with such a caring team with the added bonus of a café underneath stocked with lots of tasty treats. You will feel like you have stepped back in time with the bonus that some areas of Audley don’t have wi-fi or phone connection which allows you to truly enjoy your time here.
 
With around 10 ceremony options for your Audley Dance Hall wedding it was so hard for us to narrow it down to our top 5. Our tip is to make a day of it and explore all that each location has to offer. Grab a coffee or lunch from the Dance Hall and take time to sit in each spot and take in all of the natural serenity. You will find 'your spot' in no time.
​

Wattle Forest
Wattle Forest is our most favourite ceremony location for an Audley Dance Hall Wedding. Tall ancient cliffs with the creek flowing underneath create such a breathtaking backdrop. The gully intensifies the songs of all of the native bird’s so much that you can pick out each individual tune as they fly between the trees. There is such a serenity that creates such a magical setting for your wedding ceremony. No to mention the dappled golden light that your photographer will love as you have your photo’s by the river while your guests relax with a glass of wine in hand.

​Currawong Flat
A short walk from the Dance Hall, your guests will love walking over the rustic wooden bridge that will frame all of your ceremony shots. While not as private as some of your other options, the combination of the babbling river and bridge will make you fall in love with this spot which will create a stunning setting for you to say your I-do’s.

Audley Dance Hall Deck
What we love about Audley Dance Hall is that they have the perfect wet weather back up option on their deck. It takes all of the stress out of a rainy week in the lead up to your wedding, where it may be raining on your day or soggy underfoot by the river. Large enough to have chairs set up and standing room behind into the dancehall it's the prefect elevated spot overlooking the river for your ceremony.
