Tasmanian Wedding Ceremony Reception Photographic Backdrop and Romantic Accommodation all in one place.
That’s The Woodbridge
The Woodbridge Tasmania has privately celebrated 200 years of weddings.
It is now ready to celebrate yours.
Imagine a venue that is steeped in history and defined by understated grandeur and beauty. The Woodbridge offers a backdrop of timeless elegance for your special day.
It was hand built by convicts in 1825 on the most commanding position on the river. Heritage Listed Woodbridge is one of Australia’s oldest Grand Homes.
As you begin the story of your journey together, join your history to our history at this enchanting property.
Like The Woodbridge herself, our weddings are small and intimate.
Woodbridge embodies the gentler pace of yesteryear. Therefore it is perfect for those wanting a more personal and meaningful experience.
The Woodbridge was reimagined as a five star boutique hotel in 2007. It operated as the first and only member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World from 2007 to 2019.
Today, she opens her doors to welcome weddings. You and up to 16 of your nearest and dearest staying in the 9 large ensuite rooms, will have exclusive use of the property.
Please have your wedding planner contact us to discuss options for larger gatherings.
You will enjoy gathering together in the three beautiful communal rooms. Make the most of the Reading Room, the Ballroom Lounge and the Salon, each day of your stay.
Our beautiful riverside gardens with Woodbridge’s imposing 3 storey facade, is an obvious stage for your ceremony.
The riverfront Pavilion is a stunning indoor space. With its high ceilings and huge windows embracing the water views, this is the perfect indoor space for your reception. And also for your ceremony if you so choose.
Capture the romance of 1800s Europe, with photo opportunities around every corner.
Magical moments caught against historic palettes, multi-paned windows, original fireplaces, enchanting gardens and ‘OMG’ river vistas.
The simple refinement of Georgian architecture is a blank canvas and is the perfect setting for your choice of styling. It seamlessly blends with modern design elements, but is enough of a statement by itself to stand alone.
And for a stunning photo opportunity, consider a helicopter, seaplane or river boat to our private river pontoon.
Weddings are such a busy time – we don’t have to tell you that!
But they are most importantly an expression of love and hope and togetherness.
Being all together on site at The Woodbridge gives the time and space to spend precious moments. Time with those who really matter, saying the things that really matter, creating memories to treasure for forever.
Welcome your guests with drinks under the almond trees. Wind down at night around the Ballroom fireplace. Embrace each day with everyone together over breakfast.
On the big day, you should be relaxed, savouring every moment, and delighting in the execution of your dream.
We know that nothing is more important than this.
Therefore, we operate only through wedding planners.
Your wedding planner will ensure that everything runs smoothly without bothering you. Then you and your loved ones can just lose yourselves in the joy of the day.
