My husband and I chose Evermoore Retreat for our wedding vow renewal ceremony. It was such a wonderful experience and captured so many elements I could only have hoped for in our original wedding ceremony 12 years ago. We decided to renew our vows down by the river, however pretty much any spot would have been beautiful. We then headed up to the castle for the cake and celebrations. It was so fun to have photo opportunities literally around every corner and feel like we were all in such a magical place. Rache was amazing to deal with. She is very helpful and so thoughtful of the details that make an experience really special. Very very happy with our choice of location.

Evermoore Retreat was the most unique and magical venue for our wedding yesterday. We were so lucky to have found it purely by chance, so I am delighted to take this opportunity to spread the word about this secret wedding heaven. It has so much beauty and charm, from the architecture and decor, to the gorgeous surrounding nature. All throughout our wedding day I had to pause just to admire the phenomenonal views and bask in the tranquillity. It literally could not be any more picturesque. Not to mention, Rachel is the most exquisite person and host. She was so warm, kind, and helpful; a genuine joy to engage with. I am so grateful to her for everything.

Evermoore Retreat is an amazing place on beautiful sacred Gumbaynggirr lands. The Celtic style chapel is awe-inspiring - with every little detail thought of. The kitchen was perfect for catering needs and the banquet hall with large table and cosy seating area was excellent for our buffet style spread. Our ~30 guests absolutely loved it! The carport offered a weather proof space, with our mandip (alter) nestled against the gorgeous backdrop of the gardens. The hosts, Rache & Andre, were super supportive, going the extra mile with helpful advice, special touches like roses from the garden and bridal robes, and connecting us with local suppliers, as well as a local Elder to welcome us onto Country. Rache facilitated a beautiful cacao ceremony for us, which brought our guests together to set intentions for the day, and Andre's fabulous tunes had everyone dancing by sunset. It was an absolutely magical day!
