A separate prayer vigil was held at the Singleton Baptist Church, which said it was for everyone "to pray for our community as the community", adding that anyone was welcome to attend.

The crash on Sunday night killed 10 people and left a further 25 injured following a wedding reception at the Wandin Valley Estate.

Floral tributes have continued to be left near to the bus crash scene as the region finds ways to mourn those lost so suddenly.

Attached to one bouquet of flowers was a note from the Cessnock Ambulance.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family and friends affected by this incident," the note pegged to the flowers reads.

"We are honoured and simultaneously horrified to have been involved in such a traumatic incident."

Married Singleton couple Andrew and Lynan Scott are also unaccounted for.

Byron Bay man Zachary Bray and Queenslander Angus Craig have also been named, along with Tori Cowburn, Kayne Simons, and Darcy Bullman.

The driver, 58-year-old Brett Button, has been charged and was granted bail in court this morning.
