Ceremonies from 3 PM, celebrations to 11 PM
Ceremony and Reception in our Venue: the Chapel, the Riverbank and the Barn
Marry in the chapel or on the riverbank, dine in the barn or under the jacarandas: one estate at Mount Nathan, in the Gold Coast Hinterland, holds the whole day.
Win a free wedding ceremony. Register and attend our Wedding Expo & Open Day, Sunday 22 November, to enter the draw.
Three Ceremony Settings, One Estate
Vows on the riverbank with the Coomera River behind you, in the gardens that flower purple with jacaranda each spring, or inside the timber chapel: the settings sit a few minutes' walk apart, so you choose by feel, not by logistics. Couples drive out from Brisbane as easily as from the Gold Coast.
Ceremonies start from 3 PM, with your spot reserved exclusively for you.
Walk all three spots in person at our Wedding Expo & Open Day on Sunday 22 November, free to attend.
The Chapel, Come Rain or Shine
The chapel gives you an indoor ceremony that needs no marquee and no plan B: timber pews, sage-green trusses and the pond outside the doors.
Couples marrying outdoors keep it in reserve instead, because every ceremony here carries a wet-weather contingency plan.

The Barn or the Open Air
The rustic timber barn gives you a warm indoor reception with a dancefloor, and the lawns and jacaranda gardens set long tables under lanterns and stars.
With indoor and outdoor spaces on the one estate, the party is never hostage to the forecast: every package carries a wet-weather contingency plan.
Fed by Our Own Kitchen
Our Head Chef and his in-house team cook and serve on the day, from canapés to plated dinners and relaxed feasting tables, so the kitchen and the venue are never two companies meeting on the morning.
The styles and prices are below, and every menu is tailored with you.

A Ceremony Alone, or the Whole Day
A short ceremony and a toast is a complete wedding here: the Elopement package wraps the spot, the coordinator and the furniture into three hours.
Staying on to dine and dance? Every package pairs your ceremony spot with a reception space, from an intimate barn dinner to long tables under the lanterns, and an event coordinator runs the day on the ground. Nobody gets back in a car between the vows and the dancing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which ceremony spots can we choose from?
The chapel, the riverbank and the jacaranda gardens. Every package includes the choice of ceremony location, and a venue tour is the easiest way to pick.
What happens if it rains?
Every ceremony and reception carries a wet-weather contingency plan, and the chapel and barn stand ready as dry, elegant fallbacks for outdoor bookings.
Can we have just the ceremony, without a reception?
Yes. The Elopement package is a three-hour ceremony and toast for your closest people, and the chapel can also be hired privately for small ceremonies and vow renewals. For a small wedding ceremony with a dinner to follow, see our small and micro wedding packages.
How many guests can a reception hold?
The barn seats a cosy dinner and the gardens stretch to the full Traditional Weddings package; see the packages for the guest caps at each size, and larger celebrations can be arranged specially with our team.
How late can the reception run?
Celebrations run to 11 PM, with exclusive use of your spaces from 3 PM.
Who does the catering?
Our Head Chef and his in-house team, from canapés to plated dinners and feasting tables. External catering and BYO alcohol are welcome through pre-approved, licensed vendors.
Is there a dancefloor?
Yes, the barn has one, with seating around it for a warm, rustic reception.
Is there somewhere for guests to stay?
Yes. The estate has on-site wedding accommodation: six bedrooms sleeping eleven, a short walk from the reception, with a private pool.
Can our dog be part of the ceremony?
Yes. We are a pet-friendly venue, and many couples include their pets in the ceremony.
