In December 2024, The Jackson Ranch transformed into a private festival playground for a two-day celebration that redefined what it means to host an unforgettable event. With exclusive access to the entire 37-acre property, 200 guests were welcomed into a world where music, design and atmosphere collided to create a celebration like no other.

This event captured what’s possible at The Jackson Ranch – a luxury wedding venue in NSW that also serves as a bold and creative destination for private and corporate celebrations. With exclusive-use event spaces on the South Coast, every moment was curated with intention, style and freedom.

Guests stayed in the secluded onsite accommodation allowing for a relaxed and immersive weekend. The energy flowed from day to night, with live bands, multiple DJ sets and surprise performances lighting up every corner of the property.

The Ranch unfolded as a multi-zone wonderland. From a custom-built rocket ship stage under the stars to an indoor disco room and a red-draped late-night DJ space, the atmosphere shifted and evolved throughout the weekend.

The main reception took place beneath a candlelit marquee, with sand-toned draping by The Drapeologist and sculptural florals by Mrs Gibbons Flowers. Long tables and layered textures created a dramatic yet grounded setting.

Guests enjoyed roaming canapés, a buffet-style dinner and multiple bars positioned across the grounds. At every turn, there was something new to discover.

Moments of spectacle brought even more magic. An aerialist performed mid-air beneath the marquee, fire dancers lit up the lawns, and fireworks burst above the treetops.

A lineup of bands and DJs set the tempo, with DJ Richy Penny delivering powerhouse sets that kept the energy going well into the early hours. Every moment was documented by photographer Justin Aaron, whose cinematic eye captured the scale, mood and magic of the weekend.

At the heart of it all was Brooke from Paloma Events, whose styling brought cohesion, creativity and character to each space. From custom signage to layered lighting, every detail contributed to an elevated, all-encompassing experience. This was immersive event styling for private celebrations, reimagined with bold vision and flair.

The Jackson Ranch is ideal for multi-day destination weddings and large-scale private events. With complete privacy, expansive grounds and onsite accommodation, it invites you to think big, host boldly and create something truly your own.
