A New South Coast Wedding Venue – The Jackson Ranch

Swathed in 37 acres of forested hinterland, The Jackson Ranch by Bannisters is a shrouded sanctuary along the South Coast of NSW, Australia. With serene lakeside vistas and enchantingly versatile event spaces, this otherworldly property promises an intimate wedding experience engulfed by natural surrounds. 

Offering complete seclusion, yet just minutes away from Australia’s most pristine beaches, The Jackson Ranch is an expansive property to transform into your own bespoke celebration. There is space for 40 to 180 guests and on-site catering and an event team, infusing ease into your planning process. From sprawling lawns to warm, nostalgic cabins, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to make your celebration both luxurious and personal.

“Where lush forests meet lakeside serenity, visions of untamed elegance and ease are stirred.”

The Magic

Expansive Blank Canvas Spaces

Vast lawns stretch and sprawl toward the lakeshore, framed by towering trees and speckled sunlight, creating the perfect blank canvas to transform for celebration. We love The Greens for relaxed, garden-style ceremonies or languid pre-wedding picnics. 

Glamping Under The Stars

For a romantic escape, The Jackson Ranch‘s glamping suite is perfect for newlyweds, engulfed by nature’s surrounds and features a dreamy free-standing bath.

The On-Site Accommodation

The ranch’s onsite accommodations offer an evocative overlap of calm and considered luxury, sleeping up to 40 guests with options ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms. From the homestead’s sundrenched deck to the glamping suite’s romantic seclusion, each space transforms to a sanctuary for the couple and their guests. Whether it’s a morning coffee on the cabin porch or a moonlit dip in the outdoor spa, the property invites endless moments of revelry and transcendence.

The Jackson Room

Both charming and chic, The Jackson Room exudes rustic elegance. Sunlight pours through large windows, casting a warm glow across timber floors. By night, the room transforms with the flicker of candlelight, reimagining itself into a romantic refuge.

The Marquee Terrace

Under a canopy of stars, the Marquee Terrace unfolds into an outdoor dreamscape. Draped with ivory and enveloped by the untamed elegance of nature, it’s an ideal spot for evening gatherings. Where long tables adorned with florals can spill into the open air, and delicate details perfectly complement the imposing surroundings.

The Wedding

The Pre-Wedding Dinner

Set the tone for impending celebration with an ephemeral, paired-back dinner on The Greens. Picture an elegant, communal table dressed in soft linens and simplistic greenery, winding its way through the lawns. As the soft sun settles, string lights illuminate the gathering, casting a warm glow over family style dishes and shared stories.

The Ceremony

Exchange vows on the outer reaches of the verdant Greens. With its alluring ability to transition from rustic to reborn, it is the perfect backdrop for large instillations of dark, moody foliage and monochromatic greens to form a sinuous aisle that is elegantly earthen.

The Aperitivo Hour

The Saloon Bar is dimly lit and lightly dramatic in all the ways we love, perfect for a relaxed aperitivo hour where guests can savor the soft evening breeze and mesmerizing views of the lake.

The Reception

We find endless beauty in proper contrast, where masculine materials are perforated with feminine flourishes. For the reception, we recommend the Marquee Terrace and its ethereal whites be beautifully disrupted with dramatic detail. Like spilling, unwieldy blooms spreading the length of the tablescape and black or mahogany touches.
