It’s the one day you are guaranteed to remember for the rest of your life, so it makes sense to celebrate that one day somewhere extra special. Bells at Killcare is such a place. Celebrated as one of Australia’s hidden gems, Bells at Killcare is a secluded coastal retreat, perfect for stylish boutique central coast weddings. A relaxed yet romantic and sophisticated ambiance flows through the property from the gorgeous, classic Hamptons style cottages to the authentic regional restaurant & luxurious day spa. Only 90 minutes drive north of Sydney and situated high on the NSW Bouddi Peninsula, the retreat is surrounded by untouched National Park, many secluded beaches and pristine bays. All together the perfect central coast destination wedding venue.
The established and ever beautiful grounds provide the perfect backdrop for a delightful garden ceremony and The Conservatory is a haven, decorated in signature Bells’ style, with an adaptability making it the perfect location for central coast wedding celebrations. This space can hold approximately 120 people for a sit down event or up to 220 people for a cocktail style event. This grand space is bathed with natural light, which flows through the large, white sash timber windows, and boasts views of the delightful Bells’ gardens and swimming pool. It has a deck that opens out onto the main lawn area and, at the east end, concertina bi-fold doors open out to your own private outdoor garden courtyard.
Our professional team of event planners ensure everything runs smoothly from the first meeting, through to the ceremony, then the food and wine service at the reception. The menu on offer at The Conservatory takes its lead from the adjoining restaurant. Cuisine retains its core tenets of simplicity and sustainability with all menus tailored to suit particular events.
Lunchtime weddings are especially popular, with the sunshine bathing the lawns and gardens in a golden glow.
