The most incredible wedding venue. We couldn't have asked for a better location. Absolutely magical. Our guests loved our venue and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Highly recommend! Villa Botanica offer a unique package that includes stunning wedding venue for ceremony and reception, as well as wedding coordinator who meets with you weekly to arrange all things wedding! I couldn't imagine getting married without the help of a wedding planner.

Absolutely lost for words! We were blown away with the service we received right from the very beginning. The whole process was so easy. They have preferred suppliers local to the Whitsunday region so you feel fear knowing you’re supporting quality local businesses. All your needs are taken care of and the whole process was so simple and stress free. Beautiful location and amazing service to our guests offering vehicles to take them to and from their accommodation to our wedding. We just want to get married again to relive the whole day. It was perfect

How many guests constitutes a small wedding?

We are thinking about 55 :)

Villa Botanica - Whitsundays

Hi there! We normally think of a small wedding as anything between 10 and 30 guests, but 55 is a lovely number - not too many so you can still get to see everyone but not so small you won't be able to invite everyone whois important to you.

If you have any other questions or would like more information please feel free to email rose@botanicaweddings.com. Thanks!
