Where Laid-Back Charm Meets Wedding Bliss Pinnacle Pub

When you think of weddings, you might picture an elegant ballroom, dainty canapés, and delicate floral arrangements. But at the Pinnacle Pub, nestled in the heart of Pioneer Valley, they’re flipping the script. Known for its legendary pies and colossal crumbed steaks, this iconic Aussie pub has become an unexpected yet wildly popular wedding destination.

Owned by Donna and Jamie Murphy since 2023, the Pinnacle Pub offers couples something refreshingly different: an authentic, down-to-earth celebration with hearty pub fare and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

“People booking their weddings here are asking for exactly what we’re famous for—pies and crumb steaks,” Donna shared.

“It’s what makes a Pinnacle Pub wedding unique.”

Weddings with a Difference
Forget the tiny, fancy plates often associated with weddings. At the Pinnacle Pub, it’s all about hearty, soul-warming meals that guests actually want to eat. This authenticity is what draws couples looking for something more personal and true to their style.

The venue can accommodate up to 120 guests for a ceremony and reception, with the added bonus of an on-site campground. Guests are invited to bring swags, tents, or caravans, making it a wedding experience unlike any other. With shower and toilet facilities, plenty of space, and even a bonfire for evening festivities, the camping option adds to the pub’s relaxed charm.

Personalised and Affordable
What truly sets the Pinnacle Pub apart as a wedding venue is its flexibility. Donna, who has a background as a florist, uses her creativity to help couples pull off beautiful celebrations without breaking the bank.

“I don’t provide flowers anymore, but I know how to make something stunning with very little. I’ll help couples set up and personalise their decorations—it’s all about creating a laid-back yet memorable experience.”

From setting up decorations to crafting a menu and drink options tailored to the couple’s preferences, Donna ensures that every wedding is as unique as the people celebrating.

“We’re flexible with pricing and work within people’s budgets. If they tell us what they need, we’ll make it happen,” she said.

A Down-to-Earth Venue with a Warm Touch
Beyond the pies, crumb steaks, and camping, what makes Pinnacle Pub weddings so special is the warm and genuine hospitality that Donna and Jamie bring to every event. The pub is more than a venue—it’s a place where guests can feel at home, sharing laughs around a bonfire or toasting the newlyweds under the stars.

For couples seeking a wedding that’s equal parts fun, relaxed, and memorable, the Pinnacle Pub delivers in spades. Whether it’s a casual gathering of mates or a more elaborate affair, this iconic pub turns every celebration into a heartfelt Aussie experience.

So, why settle for ordinary when you can have a wedding with a side of famous pies, a roaring bonfire, and memories to last a lifetime?
