Newstead House weddings
It’s official! After extensive restoration Newstead House has now reopened for weddings. Rich in history, being one of Brisbane’s oldest buildings, the property offers your choice of ceremony backdrop within the courtyard space, with the option of having post ceremony cocktail style celebrations on the veranda.
Here are some of our favourite spots for wedding ceremonies at Newstead House.
Newstead House – Jacaranda lawn
Framed by a well-established jacaranda tree, this space provides an elevated view of the Brisbane River, and the positioning works perfectly for an arrival either down the grand stairs of the house or directly from the driveway.
Pictured here with our chic wooden arbour with dried florals in vibrant shades of strawberry red and pink.
With the jacaranda tree providing welcome afternoon shade, this area is ideal for weddings in the Summer and warmer months.
Newstead House – Bench lawn
Ceremonies can take place on the lawn opposite the House with a stunning arrival down the property’s steps, and around the water fountain to the aisle. Pictured here with our gloss white curved arch with vibrant dried florals and our white aisle.
The feature bench can be utilised as seating for signing your marriage certificates, with a signing table placed in front as pictured here.
Newstead House Main Lawn
This is a great area for shaded morning wedding ceremonies with the historical Newstead House in the backdrop. Pictured here our stunning ‘With Love Nest’ ceremony decor package.
Newstead House – Grand Steps
If you are drawn to the aesthetics of Newstead House, you may choose to have your wedding ceremony set up at the steps with the house in the backdrop. Pictured here with our chic wooden wedding arbour and neutral dried florals, the colour palette blending with the neutral tones of the house’s sandstone brickwork and walls.
