About Little Weddings
Little wedding, big celebration.
Little Weddings takes the fuss out of planning a wedding so that you can simply arrive and enjoy your wedding day knowing that things have been coordinated for you. We offer two packages to suit different wedding sizes called Little Weddings and Teensy Little Weddings.
The Little Weddings package includes two and a half hours of site hire at the Old Stone House of Bungendore, a celebrant to create and officiate your ceremony, and two hours of professional photography making it the complete packaged wedding. Food and drinks can be added and there is no minimum charge for this. This package allows for up to 30 guests + the wedding couple.
The Teensy Little Weddings package includes one and a half hours of site hire at the Old Stone House of Bungendore, a celebrant to conduct a legals-only ceremony, and one and a half hours of professional photography. Bar snacks and a complimentary drink per guest is also included with the option to add more drinks, if required. This package allows for up to 8 guests + the wedding couple. If you would like to have a true elopement with just the two of you then the venue co-ordinator, Rachael, and photographer, Tracy can act as your witnesses.
Inclusions with both packages:
– Music will be played through our PA system to add a lovely atmosphere to your wedding. You can create your own playlist or let us choose for you.
– Two invitation templates, free of charge, so that you have even less to think about when it comes to planning your special day.
– As well as inviting guests, couples are also welcome to share their wedding day with their fur-babies. Dogs are welcomed and encouraged at Little Weddings, provided that they are supervised at all times.
Little Weddings are perfect for anyone wanting a simple yet special wedding or vow renewal, or a true elopement just for two.

Venue History
Known by locals as “Boysville” the property was originally built by John Donoghue as his family residence and dry goods store. Over the years the property has seen many owners and many uses. In 1901 the first extension to the property was completed. It consisted of a kitchen and scullery (now known affectionately as the Snug Bar).
In the late 1980s, after years of neglect, the house was saved from dereliction. The Draper family spent the next decade painstakingly restoring the property to its former glory. In 2001, the property started a new life offering accommodation for all to enjoy.
Currently, the Old Stone House is owned by John and Debbie and managed by their daughter, Rachael. John has spent a lot of time maintaining the gardens and adding his touch to it by creating new areas, such as the Japanese-inspired garden, the formal garden, and the fern gully.
Originally built in 1861, the house celebrated its 155th anniversary in 2016.
