A Day in the Life: Your Hunter Valley Wedding at Leaves & Fishes
You wake up in the Overwater Villa, sunlight stretching across the lotus lake. The air is still. Peaceful. There’s no frantic mental to-do list, no clipboard in sight. Just a quiet morning, coffee in hand, and your closest people nearby.
You’re surrounded by calm, and that’s by design. At Leaves & Fishes, we believe the morning of your wedding should feel like a sanctuary. Every detail has already been curated; the team from Bay Window Events has spent months bringing your vision to life—briefing vendors, managing timelines, and guiding a celebration that feels unmistakably like you.
The Transformation of the Grounds
While you enjoy the morning, the venue team works quietly in the background. We are preparing the garden ceremony space, refining the rainforest walk for cocktail hour, and styling the Overwater Restaurant deck for a sunset dinner. Our goal is simple: to create a seamless transition from one moment to the next.
A Ceremony Framed by Nature
The ceremony takes place in the garden, framed by towering palms and vibrant flora. Gentle golden light falls between the trees as you say your vows. It is intimate, organic, and timeless.
Cocktails and Conversation
As the sun begins to dip, cocktail hour follows along our iconic rainforest walk. With drinks in hand and music floating through the trees, the atmosphere is both a celebration and a retreat. It’s a moment for your guests to breathe in the beauty of the Hunter Valley while you disappear for sunset photos by the lake.
Dinner Over the Water
Dinner is served in the Overwater Restaurant. Imagine long tables, flickering candlelight, exceptional wine, and heartfelt toasts. The energy lingers long after the last song plays.
All you had to do was show up. This is what a luxury wedding in the Hunter Valley should feel like:
Supported.
Thoughtfully designed.
Entirely yours.
You are present, connected, and free to enjoy every moment.
