EXCELLENT Based on 327 reviews Posted on Ryan GilesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We first came across Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens online and were absolutely captivated by the photos that we made up our minds to elope there. We live interstate so at the time we wanted to elope because it seemed less stressful and easier to plan. But once we paid a visit to Bundaleer, we completely changed our minds when we discovered that they have in-house catering, a reception space, a day-of coordinator, and a list of trusted, recommended vendors they regularly work with. It genuinely felt like most of the sourcing had already been done for us so we happily decided to have our intimate wedding ceremony there. The venue is absolutely stunning, surrounded by lush rainforest and beautiful scenery, offering the perfect balance of privacy and intimacy. We booked about a year and a half in advance. Even though we were planning from interstate, communication was excellent from start to finish. Our day-of coordinator supported us every step of the way through the planning process and ensuring everything ran perfectly on the day. On the morning of our wedding, it was raining, and the team set up the undercover area just in case. However, instead of calling off our outdoor ceremony early, our coordinator patiently waited to see if the rain would clear, and it did and thanks to their calm professionalism and good judgment, we were able to have our ceremony outside on the beautiful waterfall deck exactly as we had dreamed. We also went with available vendors recommended by Bundaleer, our photographer (Foy and Co.), MC/DJ (Craig Ritchie Stage Door DJ’s and Photo Booths), florist (New England Flower Co.), and accommodation (Essence Suites Taringa), and they all looked after us so well. Each one was incredible to work with and made the entire experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. A few months before the wedding, we decided to upgrade our menu, and Bundaleer was so accommodating. The food was absolutely divine, our guests couldn’t stop complimenting it even weeks after the wedding. After the wedding, the staff went above and beyond by packing everything up for us. When we returned the next day, everything was neatly organised and ready for pickup which made things so much easier after a long night of celebrating. The venue’s location is also perfect as it’s just a few minutes from Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, which made it easy to pop out for any last-minute items while we were setting up. There’s also ample parking on-site, and the venue was accessible by the coach bus which we had arranged for our guests. Overall, Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens gave us the most magical and seamless wedding experience we could have ever imagined. From the breathtaking setting to the incredible team and wonderful vendors, everything exceeded our expectations. We’ll forever be grateful to everyone at Bundaleer for making our dream wedding come to life.Posted on Erin HoranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I got married here in September and it was perfect! The venue is beautiful, we and all of our guests loved it. Catherine was a huge help throughout the entire planning process and the day itself. Thank you, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding!Posted on Kate DamenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best day ever, it was so stress free and Catherine and her team work so hard to make it the best day possible I would recommend to everyone 10/10, the venue is amazing and absolutely stunning!Posted on Jade LooTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where do I even begin. Bundaleer was the first wedding venue we did a tour at and it was truly love at first sight. The location, the vibes, Catherine and her team are nothing short of amazing. We did not bother looking at any other venues and we are so, so glad we chose Bundaleer. It's the perfect mix of modest luxury, modest down to earth setting, luxurious in its ambiance. From the word go, Catherine was ON IT. She is one of the most switched on person I have ever met. Extremely quick with communication, no matter the day of the week. Every conversation I had with her always made me feel at ease. There were some potential weather setbacks but she handled it SO GREAT. She had a backup undercover setting for the ceremony all ready to go just incase we needed it. We didn't end up needing it but she had it all ready incase we had to make the call last minute. Though a tasting isn't included, rest assured the food was great. The barramundi, saffron rice and tandoori chicken were the raves of the night. The venue, oh my goodness. If magical rainforest, garden setting is what you're after, this checks the box! It's not too far out from Brisbane, great Airbnb opportunities nearby. But most importantly, such a beautiful venue. The photos really do speak for themselves. I am secretly hoping a friend gets married there so that I can go back and enjoy the venue once more. All in all, Bundaleer is perfection. If I had a do over I would pick Bundaleer to get married at over and over again. Thanks Catherine and the amazing team.Posted on Mimosa RenovatorsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens is an absolutely magical, wedding venue. From the beginning Catherine was attentive, quick to respond and quick to ease any nerves or answer any questions we had. We had a change over from one package to the other and Catherine was so easy to accommodate. We visited the venue a few times and had our rehearsal there and the venue, gardens and everywhere around it was also neat, tidy and well organised. The big day came around and everything was exactly as we wanted. All the gardens were beautiful, Catherine was there to help however needed and everything was just so perfect. Thank you SO MUCH x Steve & Amy Priestley.Posted on Jess RobertsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t recommend Bundaleer more! From start to finish, Catherine was absolutely incredible, her calm, kind, and completely “on it” approach made us feel at ease both on the day and in the lead-up. The food was also amazing! Our menu was fully vegan, and every guest (most of whom aren’t vegan) raved about how delicious it was. Vegan food is so often an afterthought, but this was next-level. The team truly went above and beyond and they felt like an extension of our guests because they were so friendly, warm, and genuine. It was the perfect day in every way and we are so grateful for Catherine and her team! 🌞Posted on Levi Caleb AllanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bundaleer’s one of those places that just gets under your skin a bit. Every time I shoot there it’s got this annoying, calm energy about it. Birds singing in the trees, sun sneaking through the lush green foliage (how is it always so green? who knows?), and a staff list that wait on your every need the entiiiiire day. Honestly, how dare you all be so generous and kind. In this day and age, that type of service is unusual to come by. Let me put it down to this; it's the kind of venue that as a wedding photographer, it does half the storytelling for you. You point the camera anywhere and something beautiful is always happening. It's like a cheat code to this whole gig of documenting couples once-in-a-lifetime love stories. It's crazy, and this kind of ease-on-the-job should be illegal. I've shot a few weddings here now and it never ceases to blow the socks out of my RM's how peaceful you feel creating moments and memories this place. If you’re hunting for a wedding spot that feels a little bit tucked away but still close to Brisbane, this one’s hard to beat. Would rate 100/5 stars if I could, but I can't, soz. Anyway, it’s proper magic. These are some photos from one of my epic couples, Essie & Justin, smartly deciding to share their nuptials at this incredible location. — @beauxartcoPosted on Lena Tim SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Catherine was amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process and for our big day. She was easy going, gave a relaxed feel about everything wedding planning. The Bundaleer team on our wedding day were perfect, they did an amazing job catering and setting up the entire venue ensuring a smoothly run day. The venue itself is gorgeous with the guests giving much praise for how beautiful the venue is. Thankyou once again Catherine and your team!Posted on Nikita LeighTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our wedding was MAGICAL! Catherine and the team at Bundaleer did an amazing job on the day but were also there with us through the entire process!
