Southern Highlands park/lookout, NSW
Mount Gibraltar Lookout, Bowral / Lake Alexandra Park, Mittagong
In the Southern Highlands, choose between saying “I do” high above the treetops at a lookout overlooking Bowral, or beside the water at a peaceful lakeside park in Mittagong. Two beautiful settings, one gorgeous region.
The Southern Highlands is one of NSW’s most popular wedding regions, and this location gives you the choice of two stunning outdoor settings — a lookout high above Bowral, or a peaceful lakeside park in Mittagong.
Location Highlights: Choose between saying “I do” at a lookout overlooking the quaint town of Bowral and the countryside beyond, or beside the water at a tranquil lakeside park in Mittagong. Both settings capture the natural beauty the Southern Highlands is famous for, with sweeping views at one and calm waterside charm at the other.
Local features: Cool climate gardens, historic villages, and rolling hills make the Southern Highlands a favourite elopement destination all year round. Whichever of our two locations you choose, you’ll be surrounded by the natural beauty that makes this region so special. Choose an autumn ceremony for delightful foliage, quite unique to this region. After your ceremony you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to reception and accommodation venues. The Southern Highlands is a mecca for romantic, intimate and stunning venues to suit any taste and budget.
Important things to note: You can choose which location you prefer closer to the ceremony date – we can advise on which is better depending on weather conditions, dates and time of day.
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.
Other places you might consider: Couples who are considering a Southern Highlands elopement might also be interested in our Southern Highlands private cottage – where you can stay in a simple gorgeous cottage with a few friends to make a weekend of your celebration – or check out the Blue Mountains for another country option just outside of Sydney.
