Black Walnut Venue

Extremely disappointed with this venue and the people running it. Please be aware of the terms and conditions before paying your deposit because they are very unfair: 1)Even with 2,3, or 10 years notice to cancel the venue... even if you don't sign a single thing, even if your family are dying overseas and you have to get married internationally instead.....you will lose half of your deposit no matter what! Thats $1250 gone! No sympathy from these guys at all. We offered to replace my booking with someone else but they weren't interested in it. They profit from people cancelling due to unforeseen circumstances. Not empathetic business owners at all - just keep that in mind before paying the money - there's no going back once that money is paid. Tough lesson learnt by people that pretend they care about your day when really they don't. If you're going to fight them for it, highly suggest a contract lawyer - dont bother with the disputes tribunal. (These guys seem like they have been down this road with other customers before.)

Beautiful venue. Hosts are a bit disagreeable, especially going off how the respond to reviews. The house for the wedding party is nice but no wifi? Insane to me they wouldn't offer WiFi, sure the place is in the middle of nowhere but it's 2023, WiFi is definably a basic thing to provide especially at the price-point of the venue.

I've photographed many weddings at Black Walnut and it's always a great time. The venue is beautiful and there's so many great photo locations. Check out Estrada Weddings for more Black Walnut photos.

Had the opportunity to attend a gathering at The Black Walnut. Wonderful place, very tidy, very well kept. Good parking is available. Well established trees, oaks, avocado and gum? Driveway is a-bit tight to get into with a very sharp left hand, but not difficult. Owners were very nice, pleasant people to deal with. Few details that need attention that I feel. More shade in the court is needed, at low sun the shade provided is almost null. The white stones on the court cause a lot of glare. Now for the unpleasant part (unfortunately) Drinks that came out were quick to be removed from the tables now Im not talking 1/2 drank drinks, I am talking full glasses that were not part of a bar tab, these were paid for drinks by guests and at $15 a glass upwards this was not on. At dinner, (inside the main hall area) the sun glare was a bit much, this normally isnt a problem, and we asked if a sun umbrella could be moved over about 1m to help. The first girl was a delight, very happy to accomodate, then she asked another girl to help her and she got a reply that guests at the table hear Oh, they want shade then do they? In a rude manner. Now when a guest has solar urticaria they need shade, it is an unpleasant allergic reaction to too much UV rays. Attitude is not needed. One last point. While eating dinner you can clearly see the lavatories, maybe a screen could be erected to help stop your eyes looking at the porcelain throne while eating (as not all people close doors when finished) Other than that, it is a really nice place, but its without flaws and if these were addressed for any other guests it would make it really special. Hope this helps all from future guests and the proprietors.
