LOVE NOTE FROM PAST WEDDING COUPLE
If you’ve been thinking of getting the family and besties together for a weekend away… then Glenayr is your place! My partner and I can only describe our time at Glenayr as the most magical weekend of our lives! We brought our family and best friends together at Glenayr to host a small and intimate elopement and celebration and it was nothing short of spectacular, made even better by being able to spend the whole weekend taking it all in and enjoying all that the beautiful Glenayr has to offer!
Mother Nature combined with the natural beauty of the property and surrounds truly delivered. With a quick sun shower and double rainbow right before our ceremony to really show off! We have always loved Mudgee and spent time there, and Glenayr was the perfect place to showcase to our friends and family just why we love the Mudgee region!
We are beyond thankful for Rachel (Glenayr’s wonderful owner) graciously sharing their property with us, and allowing us to “make it our own” for the weekend. I mean how many celebrations can you finish off by stripping down (in winter) and getting into a wood fired hot tub… bliss!
Everyone just had the best time and none more than Jarrad and myself!
If you’ve been thinking of “Glenayr” for a quiet weekend in a villa or to book the whole place for the fam and friends – just do it! We guarantee you’ll love it!
We are beyond thankful and always will be!
Amber & Jarrad
