Newlyweds Scott Maggs and Emma Metcalf celebrating their wedding at the Tumbling Waters Retreat at Stanwell Tops in the NSW Illawarra on March 6th.

However, NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant yesterday revealed that there were six confirmed cases of coronavirus among the wedding guests at the venue and “close contacts are being followed up for investigations”.

The owner of the retreat, Sonya Keller, said that her business has been damaged by the revelations.

Mr Maggs revealed that the couple had learnt about the news from their honeymoon in the Maldives.

"We didn't expect this to be one of our bomboniere gifts," he wrote.

He said that at that point, their guests who had flown in from overseas were “all in good health and doing superbly”.

"Also all of the elders are doing well and have not shown any symptoms," Mr Maggs wrote in the post.

"During these times we must always act with empathy and in positive, kind spirit.

"Em and I hope you're all doing well, staying safe and looking after each other."

Keller revealed that the news came as a surprise to her after it was dropped during a NSW Health Media conference.

"[The bride and groom] said we should have surely been contacted by NSW Health if there was an issue … nothing at all," she said.

"Well as far as I know, all of my staff are well and of course, we are concerned, like everybody.

"It's an unknown thing and we can take measures now that we know about it from the media."

Tumbling Waters Retreat wrote that NSW Health had contacted the venue to assure the company that none of their guests had been contagious at the time of the wedding.

"Please can you spread the word, as you can imagine the damage this has done to our business."
