Reviews

Amelia & Mark – Dec 2023
Seclusions was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Malynda and Russ go absolutely above and beyond to make sure your day runs smoothly. You are in fantastic hands with their support and genuine care. They have found the perfect balance of wedding coordination and DIY. The venue is immaculate and we got so many compliments from our guests – they absolutely loved the different zones for dinner and dancing. We used a lot of styling items from their store room and they have amazing options to suit whatever style you are going for. We selected most of our vendors from the list they recommended too which made for a super smooth day – they are a well oiled machine and you will not regret choosing the stunning Seclusions for your special day.

Tiarne & Jacob – Dec 2023
Simply amazing! Cannot fault this venue. We had our wedding here in December 2023 and everything was perfect. They’ve got 6 cabins on site, each with a spa bath and super comfy bed. The ceremony amphitheater is breathtaking, and all our guests commented on how fantastic the layout is. Having everything in one spot is the best. The caravan bar is super cute and I love that they have two separate buildings for the formal reception and then the dancefloor. Communication is great from Russ & Malynda. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and we will definitely come back to stay another time! Also the coos are soooo cute!

Yaz & Jack – Aug 2023
Seclusions Blue Mountains is truly a gem of a wedding venue. From the moment we met Malynda and Russ and they showed us around, we knew that we had found the one – and it was the second venue we looked at! Their guidance and support throughout the planning process was invaluable, and on the day itself, they were there every step of the way to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Plus we LOVED being able to stay in the cosy cabins on-site, helping us stay stress-free and not having to travel on the day. One of the things we loved most about Seclusions was the ability to DIY our styling and choose our own vendors. This gave us the freedom to create a truly unique and personal experience for ourselves and our guests. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful rustic charm that perfectly complemented our wedding theme. The farm animals were a huge hit with our guests, and the layout of the property allowed for plenty of mingling and socializing.
Despite having our wedding in the middle of winter, our guests were protected thanks to the heated buildings and cozy bonfires outside. And who could forget Emily the Van, serving up delicious drinks to our guests! The dance floor was a sight to behold, with twinkling fairy lights creating a magical ambiance that set the stage for a night of unforgettable memories.
Overall, we cannot recommend Seclusions Blue Mountains enough. Malynda and Russ truly went above and beyond to make our day as special as possible, and we are forever grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and expertise. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that is both beautiful and accommodating, Seclusions should be at the top of your list.

George & Daniel – June 2023
My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of getting married at Seclusions in June 2023. It is hard to put into words how spectacular and special this venue is. We cannot thank Malynda, Russell, and the Seclusions team for making this day so memorable. Not only do they maintain and provide the most beautiful spaces but they are also so professional, friendly and supportive in making sure each couple is set up perfectly for the day. Not only prior to the day but on the day they ensure every detail and step of the day runs smoothly. Their attention to detail is reflective of their experience and puts any nerves to ease. On the big day neither of us had to lift a finger, they made sure all vendors and guests were organised and accounted for whilst making sure all guests enjoy the day equally. We were so lucky to have the most wonderful warm winters day but even if things went south they had great wet weather alternatives. We have loved every single moment of our wedding planning and the big day. We honestly are so thankful for Malynda and Russ dedication which is why we can easily recommend seclusions to any one looking for the perfect venue.

Steph & Dan – Mar 2023
We got married at Seclusions in March, and it was a dream day. We first did our site inspection when we got engaged, and instantly fell in love with the property. The various spaces for our guests to roam and mingle, the cabins for us to stay in and the bakery to get ready was all just beautiful. The DIY aspect was originally not something I wanted for our wedding but being able to choose so much of it made the day even better. We had so many guests say how stunningly beautiful the venue was and how it was the best wedding they had ever been to. But Seclusions would not be what it is without Russell and Malynda, they were there every step of the way, in the lead up to the wedding and on the big day. Without their support and help, the day would not have run as smoothly as it did.

Laura & Max – December 2022
Words don’t come close to conveying how wonderful Seclusions, and managers Russ and Malynda are. We had our wedding here and not only do the views speak for themselves, the buildings are beautifully set-up and organised. We loved that everything was on site and we were very well looked after. Russ and Malynda are beautiful people who helped us on the day to ensure everything ran smoothly and we couldn’t have done it without them. We have had multiple guests reach out and say how wonderful the venue was, and how much they enjoyed themselves. Thanks guys for everything you did to make our day special and memorable. We had the best day and so much of it is due to your incredible forethought, time, effort and passion. We are so appreciative.

Tori & Jamie – August 2022
Can’t recommend this venue enough! The venue itself is stunning, with Scottish cows, views of the mountains and it was so helpful having on site accomodation in the cabins. We have had so so many guests compliment how incredible the venue was.
For the day of our wedding Russ, Malynda and McKenna handled all of the running of the day and truly took so much pressure off my husband and I. We had a perfect day even with the rain in which they assisted in finding the perfect moment to get out to the ceremony.
It was such an amazing experience start to finish, and both of us will keep recommending to other couples looking to get married and hoping that we get to attend another wedding here. I know we will keep staying at their cabins for a long time as-well as they are so lovely with beautiful views.

Claudine & Dan – May 2022
There aren’t enough words to describe how much we and out guests loved this venue and our entire wedding experience. Russ and Malynda have created the perfect wedding venue and now exactly how to make everything run seamlessly. Our run sheet was a little different and they accommodated all our ideas and gave suggestions and advice bout anything we were unsure of. Our guests still cant stop raving about the venue and all of the staff they interacted with. Its is the first venue we suggest to anyone we know wh is planning to get married.

Monique & Zach – April 2021
On the 30/04/21 we were lucky enough to tie the knot at Seclusions and Wow! What a venue and what a team!
I’ve followed Seclusions on Instagram for a few years and always knew I wanted to get married here. And Zack and I are both so glad we did. The venue was absolutely breathtaking and everything was just so easy. The DIY design of Seclusions allowed us to choose the vendors we wanted and create a day that was uniquely ours.
Malynda and Russ were amazing with communication on the lead up to the day, providing us with everything we needed, from layout to vendors lists – everything was covered. We booked our venue during COVID and were unable to have a viewing before booking – Malynda and Russ sent us a number of videos showing us the venue and explaining everything to us – which I think just went above and beyond the expectations and we just knew, this was going to be a good fit.
Malynda and Russ were patient with me while I struggled with the idea of having a split reception (dance floor separate to the dining area) I was apprehensive about having our dance floor in the boat shed as I’d never been to a split reception before – but they are the experts for a reason and I’m glad I went with their suggestion!
It worked perfectly!!!! Having our dance floor separate to where we ate was fantastic. It broke the night up and made for a nice surprise for our guests, and created a totally different feel. It allowed people to sit outside of the dance floor and have a chat/sit around the fire – without feeling left out of the event.
Malynda was there with me every step of the way on the day (and the lead up to it).
On the day – as every bride does – I had a few moments where my nerves really started to settle in and test my calm, but having Malynda there checking in on me and the bridesmaids, keeping us updated and making sure everything was going to plan helped to reassure and settle me.
Honestly, Malynda is so warm and bubbly and just has one of those personalities that feels like home.
The next day Malynda shared moments with me that she had captured from our wedding day – which was such a beautiful surprise! It was like reliving the day all over again. Even capturing a moment between my husband and childhood best friend hugging at the end of the night in tears. Which is such a treasured and beautiful moment.
I can’t rave enough about Seclusions. Even our guests were equally as enamoured with the venue – most commenting they had never seen such a beautiful venue.
Malynda, Russ and their team are truly something else. I don’t think our day would have been as spectacular if we went with any other venue. It was a perfect day, a true testament to Russ Malynda and their team.

Chloe & Joel – April 2021
My wife Chloe and I got married at this beautiful venue/premium cabin location.
Russ and Malynda and all the staff were so amazing to work with, professional, empathetic and absolutely wonderful to have oversee our big day.
The cabins are beautiful, the location is remarkable – we are lost for words and can’t actually describe in writing how magical this place is to stay at and/or to have a wedding.

We both wanted to extend our gratitude to Seclusions, thank you so, so much, we will be back!

Bex & Glenn – Mar 2020
When our son was 5 months old we viewed Seclusions as a potential wedding venue. The minute we saw the Alpacas and a mob of kangaroos bounce by we knew we’d hit the jackpot! Fast forward to him almost turning two years old – I finally walked down that beautiful aisle! What I’ve loved most of all about this whole journey of marrying at this spectacular venue is the relationship built with the wonderful owners. I know of course they have couples every week to work with but it never has ever been to too much for them to help. You see this isn’t just a job for them, but a way of life. They really do love and live what they do. It’s a family business and Malynda and her husband Russ were absolutely incredible. Our wedding guests told us this was the most beautiful venue they had ever been to (and the best wedding). They are truly a credit to their business. Guys if you are reading this and just come across this venue – LOCK IN A VIEWING, you’ll thank me later. On our wedding day they were right by our sides from beginning to end. They laughed with us, cried with us and we really look forward to returning to stay at their beautiful cabins for our anniversary.

Shannon & Luke – Aug 2019
Where do we begin?! Malynda, Russell and the team WERE INCREDIBLE from start to finish. I was so organised that I didn’t think a thing would go wrong, but many did and they just took care of every little thing behind the scenes on the day so that my husband and I were none the wiser and were able to just enjoy our day. We had everything from an ambulance to an unexpected guest appear and they just dealt with it all smoothly and discreetly so that none of our guests or even us were any the wiser and nothing took the attention off us on our big day. I couldn’t speak more highly of them and their team, and we’re so pleased that they were there to oversee our whole day from start to finish. It was the most perfect day and we attribute so much of that solely to them. Everything they did in the lead up, on the day and afterwards to help us create the most magical day of our lives is so greatly appreciated – it definitely didn’t go unnoticed thank you so much Malynda, Russell and your amazing little team! Xoxo

Mel & Dave – Mar 2019
Malynda and Russell are hands down the best people to help you on your wedding day! We got married at Seclusions, Malynda and Russell went above and beyond to help us be calm on our day by coordinating it all. We stayed in the log cabins that night along with a few of our guests and I only heard good things. The log cabins are comfortable, homely and perfect for a little get a way! If we could get married again, it would definitely be at Seclusions! Thank you Malynda and Russ, you guys truely are the best!!
Love from the Fry’s xx
