5 REASONS TO HAVE AN OUTDOOR WEDDING

South East Queensland has the most beautiful weather year round (are we biased?! Perhaps!) Sit back and take in the surroundings & spend quality time with your nearest & dearest, without being confined to four walls. If you're considering an outdoor wedding but just not quite sure if you should brave the elements, read on! 

1. The backdrop
   An outdoor location means you don’t have to worry about excessive decorations, as the surroundings are the focus and provide more than enough to look at. Our ceremony space, The Amphitheatre, is set amongst towering palm trees, and overlooks the lily pond with views towards the bay. The views are certainly the talking point when your guests reach the reception space, The Pavilion, with an expansive view towards Stradbroke Island.
   
   
2. Fresh air
   Is there anything better? Particularly given the current circumstances, there is nothing people like better than fresh country air, with room for your guests to breathe. South East Queensland has beautiful temperatures year round, so make the most of it! We welcome guests to wander through the gardens to experience the vast array of flora and fauna while they're here.
   
   
3. Stunning photographs
   With almost 5 acres of gardens, take your pick of wedding photograph locations, and you won’t be disappointed. Save the time and hassle of finding off site photo locations, and trying to organise getting from A to B. You’ll arrive at the venue knowing that you don’t have to leave. We have hundreds of photography spots on offer, from gardens filled with the colour of bougainvillea, our Lotus Pond which crowds with incredible Lotus flowers in the summertime, the Rainforest which provides a green, leafy backdrop, and of course the top of our mountain, which looks out towards the West and takes in the sunset. 
   
   
4. The ambiance
   You truly have to see the venue in person to appreciate the serenity and atmosphere; a quiet country feel, whilst still only being 40 minutes from the CBD. Take in the sound of the trees blowing in the wind, whip birds singing, roosters crowing, and water flowing.

5. Versatility
   ​Our venue will mould to fit your tastes - whether you are wanting a rustic, elegant, bold or simple theme for your wedding reception.
