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.

May 2023

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!

The Evermore team delivered a stunningly picturesque venue, with beautiful, thoughtful touches throughout. When looking for the perfect venue, we looked for somewhere that was beautiful, easy to accommodate guests as needed, had plenty of space and came with a supportive and communicative team. Rache and the Evermore team ticked ALL these boxes, and went above and beyond to give us an incredible day. With private river access on the property, lush greenery, meticulously manicured and landscaped grounds and the most spacious castle on the planet, what more could you want? We want to get married again next week, just so we can spend another couple of days soaking up everything Evermore has to offer. You won't find a better venue, because this is IT!

Thank you for such a wonderful review Ethan, we loved hosting you and your wedding group here for the weekend and hope you'll come back and visit us soon.

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.

We got married at Evermoore Retreat in September 2022 and we were thrilled with the location. We wanted somewhere where we could feel a million miles away , yet be easy for guests to find and somewhere where we could enjoy the privacy of the Never Never. Evermoore is just that! We had a small wedding of around 20 people however Rache is very accommodating and open to make your vision real. The castle is fascinating and the property is beautiful. We look forward to visiting Evermoore again soon <3
