“Hubby and I just had our wedding last weekend at Gibraltar, and so many guests kept saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and many saying it was the best food they’ve ever had also. Rachel was so incredibly helpful and put my mind at such ease with the lengths she was willing to go for me to not feel stressed or worried. I genuinely was able to just enjoy the day, knowing that everything would fall into place, and it did. It was such a perfect day, and I wouldn’t change a thing! So glad we found Gibraltar Hotel.” Holly

The hotel did provide with what we wanted and did everything they could to sort out our needs. However, there were some major difficulties due to the distance. We have engaged the venue very early, 3 years before the actual wedding. This isn't anything normal and hence I wouldn't say that it's the hotel's fault for being disorganised with our wedding. During this time, the venue have gone under few changes and we were not informed until 3 months before the wedding. After we were informed regarding the changes, there were a lot of things that needed to be taken care of, everthing that we had arranged was not included. Lots of emails and phone calls to just iron out the details. Even after ironing out the details, few things were not quite right. However, grand scheme of things, the venue looked great, staff members were friendly and etc.

Gibraltar was absolutely amazing the entire weekend! We started our wedding weekend on Friday night at Harvey's Bar with 20 of our close family and friends. We had amazing food, drinks and awesome live music! The day went very smoothly with everyone involved super accommodating and supportive the entire day and night. Ceremony was inside the gallery and I wouldn't have it anywhere else! Beautiful and no stress about weather! We loved using the golf buggies after the ceremony and made for amazing pictures! All food was absolutely delicious on the night and we had no complaints whatsoever! The ballroom was spacious and set out so beautiful with the fairy lights and LOVE sign out the back on the golf course! Keira, Brittney, Mandeep and Adinaya were absolutely fantastic! Little slow in the communication but that's what COVID crap does to you! Was the best weekend of our lives!

Gibraltar hotel was just what we envisioned for our special day and ticked all our boxes. We loved that we were able to have the ceremony and reception all in one and that our guests were able to stay too! The staff and service was great, we cannot wait to go back there.

We could not recommend Gibraltar Hotel highly enough! Lauren the Wedding Coordinator did an amazing job throughout the entire process. Our guests loved the ability to stay onsite the night before and night of the wedding - it made everything so much easier on the day. The night went off without a hitch!

Do you have any advice on what to look for in a wedding venue?

there are so many options, I was wondering what I should keep in mind

Gibraltar Hotel Bowral

Great question,

An all in one venue is especially attractive for you and your guests, somewhere that can offer you the ceremony, reception and accommodation for all of your guests at the same venue. This means you won't have the expense of having to hire cars to take you from where you get ready, to the ceremony and then onto the reception and your guests won't have to worry about transport to the ceremony and reception, nor will they be at a loose end while the bridal party are off having photo's between the ceremony and the reception.

If you are looking at an outdoor ceremony ask you venue what their wet weather back up is. The weather is something no one can predict or control, for piece of mind you want to make sure the indoor wet weather back up is equally as stunning as your preferred outdoor ceremony location to avoid last minute disappointment and stress on the Big Day.

It's also a great idea to ask your venue what facilities they have for after the reception finishes, often your guests will want to continue celebrating, e.g. does the venue have a bar, how late is the license and how late will it stay open, Can they guarantee the Bar will stay open for your guests after the receptions ends. Its nice for the guest who want to keep celebrating to be able to do so with out having to be split up and catch cabs to another offsite venue.

Best of luck with the plans for your Wedding.
