"This venue is breathtaking. It was the only venue my partner and I saw when planning our wedding, and we instantly fell in love with it. The gardens, ponds, views, alpacas, ducks, and other wildlife all made it so special. Not only that, the staff are professional, easy to communicate with, and also lots of fun! Our guests all commented on how much they loved the venue, and if I could do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing. Do yourself a favour and check them out!" — Kirsty H.

FAQ

100 guests for a sit down reception and 150 guests for a cocktail reception

We love animals! We have some of our own here on the property and completely understand that you'd like yours to be a part of your day. We just ask that;


A) we know about it in advance,
B) your pet is well behaved,
C) you pick up any droppings and
D) they stay for the ceremony only and remain in the ceremony area for that duration.

Our packages include different dining options for you to choose from. We don't allow external or self-catering.

For your ceremony: the ceremony is relocated to our undercover Bell Tower area (just above the Amphitheatre seating), so the couple will stand underneath the bell, and your guests under the large 10x7m undercover area.

For the reception: our Pavilion is undercover, and the sides are fitted with blinds to keep out 95% of rain.

Rainforest Gardens was our dream come true venue. The staff were amazing, nothing was to hard or too much trouble. Everything was perfect, the view to die for. We would highly recommend Rainforest Gardens and would do the day over again there in a heart beat.

Rainforest Gardens is an absolutely beautiful venue, just stunning landscape. It’s impossible to NOT have a picture perfect ceremony and reception here. The all inclusive packages ensure the day runs super smooth and the staff are just amazing.

Truly a perfect wedding venue. Every guest we spoke to talked about how beautiful it was there and they really went above and beyond to make our wishes come true. For an all inclusive venue we did not expect such high quality in every aspect.

The venue is absolutely spectacular from the moment we stepped foot on the grounds we knew it was the perfect place for our sacred union the feel of Rainforest Gardens is so special. Our day was pure magic with the most breathtaking views over the bay nestled in amongst the trees. Staying in the chalet on the night of our wedding was so amazing as we were able to remain in our love bubble without needing to go home. Absolutely beautiful venue!

An amazing wedding venue! Rainforest Gardens is a beautiful venue for a wedding and extremely private. It has a lovely ceremony spot with plenty of seating and a nice wet weather option. So many great spots for photos, including the couples mountain shot. The venue's proximity to the city was a huge draw card for us too. Having the availability of the four chalets on site for our wedding night was convenient and had a stunning view. Adeline was extremely organised and communicated promptly with us throughout the planning process. Kodie was awesome on our big day! She facilitated every aspect of the day smoothly and behind the scenes. Also, having the rehearsal the day before our wedding was a great opportunity to run through the day and drop off any items/decor. The food was incredible (thanks Private Chefs of Brisbane) and the waiting staff were so friendly and organised.
