Stockyard Valley

Can we choose our own caterer? Yes — and we love that you can! There are no restrictions on who you bring in to feed your guests. Food trucks, private chefs, family catering, a grazing table spread — the choice is entirely yours. ??

Do you have any caterers you recommend? We do have a preferred vendor list that we share with couples once a booking is confirmed, and it includes some absolute gems. We also have a secret weapon caterer who specialises in shared platters and buffet-style meals at incredible value — details shared after booking! ??

Is there a kitchen on site? Yes, we have bar and kitchen facilities available for your caterers to use on the day.

How does the bar work?

This is where you can really save! Because you're hiring the venue, you have complete freedom with how you manage beverages. Popular options include:

• Hire bar staff who supply their own alcohol — priced and charged directly through their company
• BYO alcohol with hired bar staff or capable friends — buy in bulk at wholesale prices and have staff serve your guests
• Self-serve — fill our tubs with ice and let guests help themselves — relaxed and incredibly popular! ??

You are not paying hotel or venue prices on alcohol here. The savings can be significant.

Is there accommodation on site?

Yes! All full wedding packages include three on-site cabins (each sleeping up to 4 guests) and use of our campground.

Does the campground have showers?

The campground has a toilet block but no powered sites or shower facilities. It is really just designed for a place for guests to stay on the night of the wedding.

How far is Stockyard Valley from major centres?

We're about 30 minutes from Noosa and 20 minutes from Gympie — close enough to be accessible, far enough to feel like a genuine escape. ??

Is there transport available for guests?

There is no Uber service in our area, but taxis are available from Gympie.  We're happy to point you toward local bus hire options especially if guests are wanting to stay in one location eg Amamoor.

Is there parking on site? Yes, there is ample parking available on the property for guests with their own vehicles.

Do you have an in-house coordinator or stylist?

We don't offer in-house coordination or styling.  The beauty of our 3 day packages is that with the help of a few of your nearest and dearest, you can have the venue looking exactly as you want it within a few hours of your first day!  If you don't want to do it yourself... we have a trusted preferred vendor list with some wonderful coordinators and stylists who know our venue well. They're shared with you after your booking is confirmed.

Do vendors need insurance?

Yes — all vendors working at Stockyard Valley must hold their own public liability insurance. Stockyard Valley holds its own venue insurance, but this does not extend to external vendors.

When can we access the venue for setup?

You'll have access the day before your wedding for setup and decorating, and the day after for pack-down. Full instructions, checklists, and an arrival walkthrough are all provided to make the process smooth. ?

How do we secure our date?

Simply get in touch and we'll arrange a tour! We'll hold your preferred date for 7 days following your visit. After that, a $2,000 deposit locks it in officially.

What if we need more time to decide after our tour?

No pressure — we're flexible. If you need a little more time, just let us know. We'd rather you feel confident than rushed.

How do we get in touch?

Pick up the phone and call Tracy directly on 0405 285 057, or send an email to info@stockyard-valley.com.au. You'll always reach a real person. ??
