Wrap-up: April 2025
What a memorable month! Style-wise, April 2025 was all about an elegant and understated look with warm, romantic candlelight. Mood-wise, it was all about the party vibes! A huge thank you to the lovely couples who chose to say ‘I do’ at our venue and an equally big and heartfelt thank you to the talented vendors that helped make these wedding dreams come true. See you all in May!

Have you ever seen a more playful, high-energy bridal party reception entrance?! We loved every minute of Kristen and Ryan’s uproarious debut, which included LED light sticks, modern dance classics and a handful of tongue-in-cheek signs that poked fun at the couple’s lengthy dating period. It was the party to end all parties, and a really fun way to kick off the month! Honourable mention also goes to the seriously talented team at Noah and the Fox for the dreamy florals and styling. An airy colour palette, white seasonal flowers, draped ivory tulle and oversized glass hurricane candles = editorial-worthy heaven! Keep an eye on our socials for more pics of this epic celebration…

A wedding so stunning we had to feature it twice! Kristen and Ryan’s gallery was also full of the most breathtaking ‘golden hour’ shots, which showcased our charming merlot vines, jasmine-studded chapel archway and other idyllic surrounds (and the gorgeous couple, of course!). It’s impossible to pick a favourite! Unbeknownst to many, autumn/winter weddings are actually a photographer’s dream, thanks to the abundance of soft, natural light. Even without all the pretty spring flowers and balmy summer sun, the Hunter Valley is still a sight to be seen in the cooler months!

You asked, we answered! More budget breakdowns are now live on our blog. Sorting out the financial aspects of a wedding can be quite stressful, and we appreciate that there is an overwhelming amount of information out there to try to sift through and make sense of. With this in mind, the team has put together another real-life sample to help guide couples through this process. Enter: Alex and William’s classic black and white ‘I dos’ at Peppers Creek. This one had all the hallmarks of a truly timeless wedding - minimal aesthetic, maximum impact! All the pricing details here.

So far, 2025 has been all about the micro wedding - uncomplicated, affordable, romantic, and A LOT of fun (less planning and financial investment = more time to soak in every beautiful moment!). Claire and Jack tied the knot surrounded by only their nearest and dearest at Peppers Creek, transforming our sandstone chapel into a whimsical secret garden. As always, the expert team at Pash & Dash was instrumental in putting this special, smaller celebration together. They really are the best in the biz when it comes to intimate elopements!

As if we weren’t crushing on Kristen and Ryan enough, these sweet newlyweds took the time to leave us an amazing review too!
‘We got married at Peppers Creek Barrel Room and Chapel in April and would recommend this venue to anyone looking to wed in the Hunter Valley. The venue is absolutely stunning and full of character. The team was incredible in helping us organise our dream wedding as well. Fantastic food and drink selections and a truly magical experience. We wish we could do it all over again!’
