                FAQ

                Save money by creating your invitations online, there are several website where you can create magical invitations with your couple photos and a music soundtrack. A gorgeous alternative to posting a paper invitation.

                The most memorable Secrets weddings have been the ones where the wedding couples have invited just their closest family and friends, the ones who have and will support them in their life together.

                Secrets ceremony fee and accommodation is all a cheaper price during the week, you will also save money on hairdressers and makeup artists who usually offer a reduced rate for a mid-week wedding. Secrets mid-week package also includes a local photographer and celebrant. This is probably the biggest money saver and most important of all the wedding tips.

                Perfect for a Winter wedding! Imagine having lunch in the gardens with a view of the lake and garden games. More and more couples are choosing a lunch reception, a gorgeous casual gathering and it makes it easy for guests to travel home after the wedding. It also means more time for great photos.

                Most couples know what they would like to play during their ceremony but why not compile all your favourite songs for your reception. Makes it a lot more personal than the same old wedding songs soundtrack.

                Google handmade ideas for your table, a wedding that we will always remember is one where the bride’s sister made fabric flowers in bright yellows, oranges and reds for the table – very retro – very gorgeous. DIY favours like potted flowers for your guests to take home – small pots wrapped in hessian with a coloured ribbon can also create part of your table decorations. Maybe a set of Secrets wine glasses per couple to commemorate where you celebrated your wedding.

                A good celebrant will take time to get to know you both as a couple and as individuals, how you met, your adventures so far in life and your plans for the future and will weave these elements into your personal ceremony and vows.

                If you are only having up to 15 guests, you can choose a do-it-yourself wedding at Secrets, especially suited to a mid-week ceremony, you can hire the use of our Secrets Gardens and keep it sweet and simple! Our Secrets team is here to help if you need to hire any extra items and lunch in Secrets cafe is a great alternative to planning a full reception dinner!

                 If you are planning on the trip of a lifetime for your honeymoon, we suggest that you take a couple of days before you go just to relax and recover before you take off on your great adventure together.

                This doesn’t suit everyone, but some of the most intimate and heartfelt ceremonies at Secrets have been elopements – just the 2 of you expressing your love and commitment.

                Organise a lunch platter with petite sandwichs to snack on while you are getting ready, otherwise you will be starving by the time the ceremony starts. A great way to get together after the wedding is to organise a wedding breakfast for the following morning. Your wedding day flies past so quickly, it’s nice to really catch up with your friends and family especially if they have travelled a long way to attend.

                Yes (or) we also have local celebrants we can recommend.

                What an amazing venue and the most magical place to get married. Secrets on the Lake was more than what we ever expected. The staff went above and beyond for us and were so friendly and helpful in every aspect from planning to our actual wedding day. We only had 40 days when I booked our elopement and everything went as smooth as silk. We arrived to beautiful food, wine, spa bath and the view of the lake was spectacular. We were so relaxed when the time came to walk down the isle. Our photographer Matt Rowe was spectacular and our photos are just amazing we could not have asked for anything better. I can't stop looking at them. Everything at Secrets on the Lake was perfect. I cannot wait to go back.

                Cabins are amazing and set in a tranquil, beautiful rainforest overlooking Lake Baroon. Staff are so friendly and flexible. They’ll go the extra mile to make your day easy and memorable. The restaurant does fantastic lunches and breakfasts too!

                This venue is absolutely stunning! The beautiful gardens and lake are exquisite, and they made everything easy for us. The food was amazing, and then we got to stay in a gorgeous treehouse for 3 lovely, relaxing nights.

                Given the current climate, can we still stay at a hotel on our wedding night?

                This might sound kind of stupid but the thing is, my fiance and I are still living with parents for the next month or so. The pandemic kind of stuffed up and delayed our moving out plans and we are getting married in two and a half weeks. I don't know if with all the travel bands we can just take one night to ourselves to isolate in a different location after we do our small ceremony.

                Secrets On The Lake

                Accommodation is not meant to be operating at this current time, however I have noticed places still allowing bookings despite COVID-19. We are awaiting further instructions from the government which is meant to be given to us by the 20th of May 2020. I believe accommodation can take place for essential workers and people who have nowhere to live.

                Accommodation for a hens night?

                I've been trying to book accommodation for 10 ladies for a hens night on the 7th Oct for months now. Every time I think I've found a place they say 'strictly no parties or events'. All we're having is drinks and games and a couple topless waiters. I'm really worried I'm not going to find a place for us because everything will book out and that would be so disappointing. Please help. I don't know what to do!

                Secrets On The Lake

                Hi There, I'm sorry that we cannot help you for that weekend as we are full. We normally have a minimum 2 nights stay, so the single Saturday night isn't normally available.

                With our accomodation we don't have one place that would sleep 10 people. We have The Nest treehouse which can sleep up to 6 adults and our Whistle Stop cabin which can sleep up to 4 people.

                Good luck with finding a place.

                Kind Regards

                Sarah

                Will wedding accommodation let you check out late the day after your wedding?

                Secrets On The Lake

                This just depends on if someone is checking in after you and what time they will be checking in. Here at Secrets you have a checkout of 11am opposed to a 10am checkout.
