Will the ceremony and reception be at the same venue?
Yes, our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception will both be held at Tumbling Waters Retreat in Stanwell Tops.
It is a one-hour drive from the Sydney CBD, and the closest train station is Helensburgh, which is a 10-minute taxi ride away from the venue.
The ceremony will take place outdoors on the private garden and starts at 3.30pm. Guests are asked to arrive at 3pm for pre-ceremony beverages. The cocktail reception starts immediately after the ceremony.
How do I RSVP?
Please RSVP by July 31, 2025. To confirm your attendance, simply locate the RSVP tab on this website, enter the name(s) listed on the invitation, and follow the prompts. Please also include any dietary requests in your response.
Are children and plus-ones welcome?
Regretfully, we are unable to extend the invitation to children. Similarly, we cannot accommodate additional guests. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to celebrating with you.
What can we bring you as a gift?
Please know that your love and company on our wedding day is the only thing we could ask for. However, if you do wish to celebrate with a gift, a contribution towards our wishing well will be much appreciated.
What is the dress code?
The dress code is formal attire. We kindly encourage our guests to dress in a neutral colour palette to complement our bridal party. Alternatively, guests are welcome to wear black on the day.
What happens if it rains?
In the event of inclement weather, the outdoor ceremony will be moved indoors to the glass atrium. Fully equipped with a surround sound system, it is the perfect Plan B location in unfavourable conditions.
Is there parking on site?
There is ample parking adjacent to the venue on the corner of Stonehaven Road and Bendena Gardens. Guests can enter Tumbling Waters Retreat via the side gate where a garden path will lead them directly to the ceremony area.
If you are not leaving in your own vehicle at the conclusion of the reception, please organise transportation well in advance as very few Ubers and taxi services are available in the area late in the evening.
