We had the most wonderful wedding in the Lost Valley followed by reception at the Homestead. All the staff we amazing and the events team leading up to the day were fabulous and so organised. We received so many compliments about the kitchen staff, the friendly volunteers, the food and the venue.

Absolutely incredible wedding planning process. We met with Katie two weeks after being engaged, and booked the venue immediately for the following May. Katie made everything relaxed, enjoyable and really relieved all the stress. She communicated effectively with the vendors and made the weeks leading up to the wedding so easy and enjoyable. She replies quickly and is always reachable. We booked the Hampton style venue and were the 3rd people in the venue. Our wedding was on a Sunday, the May long weekend. Figtree pond was our spectacular ceremony spot. Couldn’t recommend a more unique venue to get married at. The best part is the proceeds go to the animals. Love Britt and Ravi

Planning, organising and having our wedding at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary was overall a great experience! Katie was an amazingly helpful event coordinator from day dot who was always prompt and happy to answer all of my questions! The venue planning and organisation was seamless! Our wedding on the day was great and enjoyable with only a minor hiccup at the end of the ceremony, noting that not everything is meant to be perfect and it didn’t effect my positive review of the venue! I would definitely recommend this venue to people as it is a beautiful place to get married and I wish I could do it all over again!

They were so relaxed and friendly to communicate with, nothing was too much to ask! We were so happy with how the day ran, everything was perfect. Also LOVE the idea that your money is going to a good cause.

Our big day (and all the planning leading up) ran smoothly due to the amazing co-ordination of Katie and the events team at CWS. Our ceremony in the Lost Valley aviary was stunning with it's rainforest setting and many different types of birds. We were lucky enough to do photos in the aviary before joining our guests at the Homestead, the newly built events centre. We managed to slip away briefly after dark for more photos in the new Astra Lumina light show area. With speeches and cake cutting over we danced the night away with our DJ and saxophonist. We had so many lovely remarks from our guests, many of which had not been to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary for many years or not at all. A truly unique experience that we loved every minute of. It could not have gone any better for us on our special day.
