NSW Police Acting Assistant Commissioner Tracy Chapman said the number of dead could increase, adding that two of those in hospital were airlifted from the scene, as the bus landed on its side.
"He's under arrest. He's been the driver of a motor vehicle collision where there have been fatal injuries and there will be charges pending," she said, speaking of the driver.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the situation as "so cruel, so sad and so unfair" for such a "joyous day in a beautiful place like that to end with such terrible loss of life".
He said: "People hire a bus for weddings in order to keep their guests safe, and that just adds to the unimaginable nature of this tragedy."
A statement by NSW Police read: "Family and friends of a person who may have been on board the bus are urged to contact Cessnock Police Station."
