It was only early last year that Hazelwood Estate first announced it was taking wedding bookings.
Through an Instagram post recently, they've announced their news of an affiliation with the Northern Escape Collection, now rebranded as Beechmont Estate.

The Ridge Estate in NSW's Central Coast just announced a new outdoor undercover space:
Well here we are at the end of June, and it's with commiserations that we recognise that June is the least popular month to get married. But why not use this to your advantage?
There are only so many Saturdays within the year, and if you've got your eyes on a particularly sought-after venue, the waiting list for an autumn or spring wedding is going to be long.
Narrowing your seasons down to either winter or summer will improve your chances of getting favourable dates or pricing. June and July have traditionally been the coldest winter months, so this is when wedding venue availability becomes the most open for couples to snap up.
Hazelwood Estate, a boutique retreat situated in Lamington National Park’s Beechmont Plateau, Queensland, recently announced they'll be taking wedding bookings from September. Only a small number of weddings will be allocated each year.

Another historic 19th century Victorian wedding venue is up for sale, and like Koendidda, hopefully not as a result of Victoria's strict COVID-19 lockdown.
Halfway between Daylesford and Ballarat, Scrub Hill 1869 is a restored bluestone country church with surrounding lawn and reception space.
Daydreaming as one does by looking at beautiful properties in regional Victoria, we stumbled on the property's listing on realestate.com.au.
Koendidda recently put up a post announcing that the historic estate is up for sale. It's not yet known whether the accommodation and weddings/events business will continue.
The post includes an article that briefly tells the fascinating story of how the property came to be. A Cornish immigrant came searching for gold in the 1850s, and off the back of a vision in his sleep, choose a particular tree to focus his dig. The area unearthed a nugget that funded the estate's build.
In an Instagram post today, current owners Christian and Mindy said that after more than eight years of operating Byron Bay's Belongil cafe, that new owners will taking up management by the end of October.

It was back in November last year that popular Byron Bay wedding venue Fig Tree Restaurant tragically burnt down. It was a shock announcement on Instagram, but the owners had promised to rebuild the business that had also been a family home since 1981.
In a more promising post recently, we're glad to hear that construction of the new restaurant and wedding venue is underway.
The shared video gives a quick glimpse of what the property was like before the incident, and follows with a 3D model tour of the new building.
New wedding venue options will be certainly well received as 2021 and 2022 shape up to be hotly contested for date availability.

New accommodation at Seacliff House
A NSW South Coast favourite extends its possibilities.
It’s been great to see business owners use this time in isolation as an opportunity to renovate or start something new, building better experiences for couples when wedding preparations can resume again.
On our radar is Barton Park, a new event space and wedding venue in the Avon Valley, an hour’s drive from Perth.
Well under construction, it comes from the family behind the Quellington School Farmstay accommodation and Alfie the vintage caravan bar.
As sixth-generation farmers, the working property has a rich history, and its progression towards a wedding and event space has felt natural so far. The project has kept all the family busy during the lockdown, and we can’t wait to see the final result.
You can follow its progress at @bartonparkevents.
