The Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese expressed his "deepest sympathies" to the families of the people killed and injured.
"All of us know the joy of going to a wedding , they are some of the happiest times that you can have. For a joyous day like that in a beautiful place to end with such terrible loss of life and injury is so cruel and so sad and so unfair," Albanese stated.
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said police were treating it as a single-vehicle accident and the cause may not be known for some time.
The bus had been pulled upright after a "delicate operation", given dead passengers were inside, Webb said.
The Wandin Valley Estate winery which hosted the wedding was closed on Monday, a public holiday, the Australian Broadcasting Corp reported.
