"We stumbled across the 1860’s stone stables set on 20 acres overlooking the river and it was love at first sight. Before we could establish our olive oil business we were bombarded with enquiries for Weddings and events and so the Magpies Nest was born." Hayley - Magpies Nest Wagga Wagga
how and when did MAGPIES NEST come to be? Magpies nest was established 20 years ago by my family whilst looking for somewhere locally to establish an olive grove and processing plant to make our extra virgin olive oil. We stumbled across the 1860’s stone stables set on 20 acres overlooking the river and it was love at first sight. Before we could establish our olive oil business we were bombarded with enquiries for Weddings and events and so the Magpies Nest was born.
did you always know that you wanted to manage a Wedding + function venue? I am a true foodie at heart and love working with people. There is no better feeling than planning weddings with our couples and sign the hard work in action on the day. Sometimes I think I am more nervous than the groom waiting for the bride to arrive to walk down the aisle and the feeling at the end of the night knowing that our couple, their friends and family have had a fantastic time celebrating such an important milestone in their life.

Once guests arrived they were enjoying drinks on the terrace when he started a speech, before anyone knew what was going on he was down on one knee and proposed in front of their nearest and dearest, of course she said yes. With a photographer on site they wandered off to the vineyard to capture the moment when he popped the next question. ‘let’s do it now?’ she is the one in a million bride that said ‘yes’ and soon after they came up, she was swept off by a makeup and hair stylist that had been on standby to be primped and preened ready to walk down the aisle.
The dress he had chosen for her fit just perfectly and suited her so well, it was stunning. Whilst the ceremony took place we transformed the venue from a 30th birthday into a Wedding, replacing birthday balloons with bouquets of all her favourite blooms and exchanging a birthday cake for a Wedding cake. It was the most magical day to be a part of but also the most stressful event we have ever been a part of. One I will always remember.

Ask questions, don’t worry that what you want to ask might be silly or rude to ask, just ask. I guarantee that whatever the question we have more than likely heard it before. Take note of the answer, is the potential venue open to your ideas or rigid in what they offer? Its important to find a venue that gives you the freedom to celebrate your big day your way.
tell us about the best part about what you do: Surely it must be seeing our Brides walk down the aisle to there most loved one.
