OVERVIEW
Everything You Need, Thoughtfully Included
Only moments from the iconic Forresters Beach headland - just over an hour from Sydney - Gracelands is an award-winning boutique wedding venue where every detail is gracefully considered.
Nestled amongst lush, landscaped gardens, our all-inclusive setting provides an intimate yet breathtaking backdrop for your wedding. From serene garden vows to golden-hour photo opportunities at the nearby headlands and receptions that flow seamlessly, Gracelands feels like a destination wedding without the distance.
Seamlessly Hosted, Details Considered
At Gracelands, beauty surrounds you from the moment you arrive. Exclusive gardens, softly lit paths, and intimate reception spaces create a setting that feels warm, romantic, and timeless.
Exchange vows in the landscaped gardens, framed by lush greenery and the fresh coastal air of Forresters Beach. As the sun sets, slip away for panoramic headland portraits, then return to your reception where curated details and the laughter of loved ones complete your celebration.
Whether you dream of a romantic garden ceremony, a relaxed cocktail gathering, or a candlelit dinner reception, Gracelands offers the perfect canvas for your most meaningful moments.
An Effortless, All-Inclusive Experience
Your wedding should be as joyful to plan as it is to celebrate. At Gracelands, we make that possible with a seamless, all-inclusive approach. Every element is carefully considered - from your ceremony backdrop to the final toast - so you can focus on what matters most: celebrating your love.
Our inclusions cover the essentials: furniture, catering, in-house coordination, and service. We welcome you to bring your own florist or stylist and bring your vision to life. Couples love knowing the big details are already taken care of, freeing them to focus on creative touches and truly soak up the day.
From your first enquiry, our team guides you with warmth and professionalism, creating an experience that feels simple, serene, and unforgettable.
A Feast to Remember
The heart of every great celebration is food and wine shared together. At Gracelands, your wedding menu is curated by Executive Chef Peter Andrews, formerly of Bells at Killcare, whose reputation for refined, seasonal cuisine ensures a dining experience that delights every guest.
Choose from abundant shared feasts or gourmet cocktail canope's, each paired with fine wines and signature cocktails. Every dish is crafted with elegance, every pour perfectly timed, and every guest warmly cared for.
Words From the Heart
At Gracelands, it’s often the heartfelt service behind the scenes - the gentle guidance, the seamless coordination, and the warmth of our hosting that couples remember most.
“We just wanted to thank you for making our wedding the best night ever! Like we’ve said before, you’re the reason the night was truly beautiful, and it definitely wouldn’t have been the same without you.
We can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us — from before the wedding and even on the day itself. We’re so grateful to have had you as our wedding coordinator.
Thank you for dealing with all of our odd requests, and for being such a genuinely good human being. You took care of us, our guests, and your staff so beautifully. We couldn’t have done it without you!”
— Rey & Dee
Moments like these are why we do what we do. To us, your wedding is never just another event, it’s the beginning of a story we are honoured to host.
