Chatsworth House

Chatsworth House is a Western Victorian wedding venue where history, beauty, and country charm come together. Nestled within 3,000 hectares of rolling hills and overlooking the Hopkins River, this 1850s bluestone homestead and its restored bluestone buildings offer couples an unforgettable setting to say “I do”.

From ceremonies in the beautiful homestead gardens to receptions under the stars, every corner of Chatsworth House feels timeless yet wonderfully relaxed. The property’s character-filled spaces include the atmospheric Longroom, perfect for rustic-luxe celebrations, and the original Stables. Expansive lawns provide a stunning backdrop for marquee weddings, while the homestead and it's gardens exudes elegance and warmth.

What makes Chatsworth House truly special is its flexibility – couples have the freedom to create a celebration that feels like their own, with exclusive access to the property and the option to style each space in their unique way. On-site boutique accommodation and glamping options add to the experience, allowing guests to settle in and soak up the magic of this extraordinary place.

Blending grandeur with intimacy, Chatsworth House isn’t just a venue – it’s a destination. A place where love, landscape, and legacy are woven together, creating weddings that are deeply personal, beautifully timeless, and completely unforgettable.

Tom and Sarah Whinney are the custodians of Chatsworth House, bringing together a love of the land, a deep respect for history, and a genuine passion for creating memorable celebrations. Together with their young family, they live and work on the property – running the farm as well as welcoming couples from near and far to share in the magic of this place.

Grounded, approachable, and full of heart, Tom and Sarah delight in seeing Chatsworth House transformed for each wedding. They believe in giving couples the freedom to make the venue their own while being on hand with warm support, local knowledge, and a spirit of hospitality that makes everyone feel at home.

For the Whinneys, hosting weddings is about more than a single day – it’s about creating experiences that honour connection, celebrate love, and become part of the enduring story of Chatsworth House.
