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

Graceland's was the most amazing venue, and Stefan and our coordinator Sam made our night one we will never forget. We had our ceremony and reception at the venue, making it a truly unique and special day. The atmosphere was excentric and the service was exceptional. All our family and friends commented on the deluxe feast for the selections and amazing taste. We are truly blessed and grateful that we had it at Graceland's, as it has made our special celebration of marriage memorable moment, that we both will treasure forever. Regards, Belinda & Robert x

Gracelands are an amazing venue. From start to finish we felt supported, heard and valued. No question went un-answered, no idea was ignored. Anouska helped us create the wedding of our dreams. We went very un-traditional and changed a lot of things, Anouska at no point questioned our decisions and provided the best support to make it happen. The venue itself is beautiful, but the food - O M G. Everything on the menu is delightful, it's actually challenging to narrow it down! You won't go wrong if you hold your special day at Gracelands.

We recently had our wedding at Gracelands. What an amazing day it was! From the moment we enquired to the day of the whole process was exceptional. Thank you Anouska for organising our walk through and getting our booking started. Stef, thank you so much for your communication and for getting everything in order for us to celebrate, the day was truly amazing! Hayden, WOW! You ran the day so beautifully! We are so grateful for everything you did for us! And the the rest of the Gracelands staff, thank you! We could not have asked for a better day. The food was great, our brie cheese cake was amazing… so many people commented that it was the best brie they had ever had in their life. The day was everything we could have hoped for and more! Thank you!!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue for our special day. From the first day we viewed Gracelands and met with Stef - to the day itself, we were constantly blown away. Everything looked stunning but in a subtle and thoughtful way. The ambiance was magical and all the little details created a perfect backdrop for our celebration. The food was exceptional! Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted even better. We even warned guests not to overeat before the wedding as we could guarantee them they would be eating amazing food for dinner (as we had tasted it months prior). Gracelands definitely delivered as our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was! It was clear that a lot of care went into curating a menu that delighted everyone - huge compliments to the Chefs! The staff were phenomenal! They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Catie our Coordinator was amazing throughout the planning process, no question was too silly and despite our email chain getting longer as the weeks went on, she was always kind and helpful in her replies. It was no different on the day; Catie and the whole team were super in helping with last minute details and making sure every guest was comfortable. The bar staff (shout out to the dynamic duo Alise and Elise) were hilarious and had amazing energy which rubbed off on everyone! The whole Gracelands team truly made us feel special and helped in creating a smooth and stress-free day. We've received countless compliments from our guests about how incredible Gracelands was. It is clear that this venue is a gem on the Coast, and we will cherish the memories made here forever. If you're looking for a venue that ticks all the boxes - beautifully presented, stunning food, and outstanding service - look no further than Gracelands.
