Newcastle, NSW
Richley Reserve (New Lambton)
Richley Reserve is nestled in a leafy suburban area of Newcastle, providing a tranquil setting. The reserve is characterised by its lush green spaces, mature trees, and well-maintained gardens.
Couples wishing to have a small, simple and affordable wedding will love the Just Married Wedding’s Newcastle park location. There’s no more convenient or affordable way to get married, and with Just Married Weddings it’s also incredibly romantic, intimate and memorable.
Location highlights: Richley Reserve has something for everyone. The bushland areas of the park create a relaxed mood, and the more manicured areas a more glamorous setting. There’s also a very picturesque lake. Perfect all year ’round, with shade when you need it, shelter from the elements and so much room we can always find a private place to set up, even on busy days. If you wish to celebrate in the park after the ceremony there are BBQs, playgrounds and shelters you can reserve.
Local features: Everything you could need is pretty close by. For a simple meal afterwards there are pubs and cafes within walking distance. Within 5 – 10 minutes drive there are many great restaurants. Lots of great accommodation options at Charlestown (10 minutes drive) or in the centre of Newcastle (15 minutes drive).
Important things to note: This location has limited availability. Book early to avoid disappointment.
Accessibility: Level access from parking, suitable for wheelchairs users and people with limited mobility.
Exact ceremony location: At Just Married Weddings, we use set locations, but not always a fixed spot within those locations. This is because our experienced celebrants (and affiliated photographers) choose the best ceremony spot on the day, based on weather, lighting, time of day, and what else is happening nearby.
You’ll always receive clear meeting point instructions before your ceremony, and your celebrant will guide you from there. If you have a specific spot within the park in mind, simply let your celebrant know in advance — they’ll do their best to accommodate it and ensure the best possible experience on the day.
Other locations to consider: Not far from Newcastle we have our Caves Beach location – for a beachy elopement. We also have locations Australia-wide, all for the same great price.
