Could not have found a better wedding venue! Stunning grounds, staff and food! An absolutely seamless process to have our wedding at Coolibah Downs. From the first viewing through to the day of, we were met with utmost professionalism which resulted in a stress free planning and day of wedding. We were most impressed with our wedding coordinator, Leticia, who genuinely wanted our day to be the best it could be. Leticia ran the day so efficiently & smoothly, we had no issue. Our guests loved the venue, were impressed with the food quality and portions, numerous of our guests even said it was the best food they’ve ever had a wedding. Leticia & the staff at Coolibah Downs are second to none, if you’re thinking about booking your wedding here, you won’t regret it.

Every staff member at Coolibah Downs are amazing, they are all so helpful and friendly and they know exactly how to make your special day better than you could ever imagine. Tia was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing from start to finish. The set up team did an asking job setting up everything; ceremony (in the chapel), garden for cocktail hour and reception (in marquee). They did everything exactly how we wanted it and everything looked better than I could’ve imagined. The bar staff were awesome as well, I can safely say not many people went home sober. The food from appetisers, to mains to desserts were so beautiful and definitely worth every penny. Myself, my bridesmaids and Mum all got ready in the homestead which was amazing to get ready on site, it put my mind at ease.

Coolibah was the most amazing venue, and I would recommend them to anyone wanting an all inclusive, highly supported and beautiful day. The team were magnificent and cater to everyone's every need, the food was spectacular, the location was simply perfect. they managed all of my suppliers on the day for me, and touched base giving me updates as required. I would give them even more than 5 stars if I could. Than you team, and a special mention to Kylie and Tia who were my biggest support!

We had our wedding last Friday at Coolibah downs private estate and i must say it was truly magical. Barbara and her team were fantastic. We could not have asked for a better day. The venue itself was amazing as was the food. It started to rain just as we were about to get married on the lawn so we moved to the chapel which was all done so easily. What bride can say they got to walk down the aisle twice. Me lol. Thankyou for making our big day what it was. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere special.

The Coolibah Downs estate is so beautiful. We booked prior to their renovations and were so happy with the upgrades they made. The chapel, marquee and grounds were the perfect backdrop for our photos and special day. Being able to get ready onsite then stay the night after and wake up to enjoy a coffee on the deck make the day so much easier. Unfortunately we didn't have time to try the pool! Our wedding coordinator Letisha did all the running around on the day and everything went smoothly - nothing was too much for her even when we changed the location of our wedding party drinks and asked her to reprint our speech multiple times. We received so many compliments on the drinks, food and fairy lights which were all supplied by Coolibah Downs. Thanks to everyone on the Coolibah Downs team. Letisha, Emma, Chef and all the staff were all so accommodating and helpful.
