We had the most amazing wedding at Forest Edge in Gembrook.. essential catering with providers of our three course dinner and canapés. Forest Edge was the most magical place to get married and the caterers who supplied the food did an excellent job with everyone complimenting us on the food. I would highly recommend Forest Edge and Essential Caterers

I personally think that you should view the venue, it can be hard to determine the actual feel for the venue unless you experience that first hand. 

do i have to book and pay for two venues if theres risk of rain?

or do venues usually have a backup option free of charge?
