Small weddings on the Gold Coast
A full wedding day at forty guests' scale: intimate, full of heritage charm, and yours for up to eight hours.
Riverfront views, timber buildings and a relaxed country feel make the estate a natural home for small and micro weddings. Say your vows beneath the trees by the river, in the garden, or inside the chapel.
It is a wedding, not a function-room booking: the gardens, riverbank and animals stay part of the living estate around you.
Your ceremony and reception areas are reserved just for you and your guests, keeping the day private and personal. Celebrate under the stars in the open air or settle into a cosy dinner in the barn.
An event coordinator plans the day with you, helps with vendors and setup, and runs the day itself.
The jetty over the river, the towering eucalypts, the rustic barn: a micro wedding here still gives you the photographs of a grand one, all within a few minutes' walk.
Four-legged family members are welcome too; we are a pet-friendly venue.
