Planning & Booking

When should I book my wedding?

Once you have found the venue that feels right, we recommend securing your date as early as possible.

Bundaleer’s most sought-after dates, particularly Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and popular seasonal weekends, can be reserved well in advance. Bookings open up to 18 months ahead, giving you the opportunity to secure your preferred date and begin planning your celebration with confidence.

Enquiring early offers the greatest choice of available dates and helps ensure you do not miss the season or weekend you have been envisioning.

What is the best way to contact us or book a venue viewing?

The best way to contact us is by email, or you can book a venue viewing online through the Contact Us section of this website. Our online booking system shows the available appointment times.

You can also request a phone call time through our Contact Us page, and a member of our team will call you at the time requested.

Weekend viewing appointments are limited due to events being held at the venue, and these times can book out weeks in advance as they are very popular.

If you cannot find a time that suits, we encourage you to email us at info@bundaleer.com with a little more information about your wedding, including your preferred date, estimated guest numbers, and any other details you would like to share.

Can we enjoy the feel of a destination wedding without asking our guests to travel far?

Absolutely. Bundaleer offers the atmosphere of a secluded rainforest destination while remaining conveniently located within Brisbane.

Couples can create a relaxed, immersive wedding experience surrounded by gardens and rainforest, without requiring most guests to pay for flights, extended accommodation or lengthy transfers. Guests can return home after the celebration or choose to make a weekend of it by staying nearby or in Brisbane’s CBD.

It is a wonderful option for couples who love the feeling of a destination wedding but want to keep travel simpler and more affordable for their guests.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept payment by cash, bank transfer or credit card. To avoid credit card processing fees, we recommend paying by cash or bank transfer. Credit card payments are also welcome; however, a processing fee applies.

Do you offer weekday wedding packages?

Yes, we offer weekday wedding packages at lower rates than our peak wedding days. Please see our wedding packages for full pricing and inclusions.

Do you offer ceremony-only or elopement packages?

Yes, we do. Our ceremony-only and elopement packages are available Monday to Thursday, subject to availability.

These intimate options are perfect for couples planning a beautifully relaxed celebration with their closest family and friends. Further details, inclusions and pricing can be found on our website.

Are there minimum guest numbers for weddings?

Minimum guest numbers apply depending on the day of the week and package selected.

Saturday weddings: minimum 70 guests
Friday and Sunday weddings: minimum 50 guests
Monday to Thursday weddings: minimum 40 guests

If your final guest numbers fall below the applicable minimum, your wedding can still proceed, however charges will be based on the minimum guest numbers for that day.

Do you offer payment plans?

Bundaleer offers payment arrangements, allowing couples to spread payments toward their wedding balance in the lead-up to their wedding day.

Many couples choose to make progressive payments over time to assist with budgeting and planning.

As Bundaleer reserves and holds your wedding date exclusively for your event, all payments made are non-refundable. All payment due dates are outlined within your booking documentation, with final payment required no later than 21 days prior to the wedding date.

Do you offer menu tastings?

As Bundaleer is an exclusive-use wedding venue, our chefs and kitchen team are focused on preparing and delivering the wedding or event taking place on the day. For this reason, we are unable to offer individual menu tastings around our event schedule.

Our menus have been carefully designed through years of catering weddings and events at Bundaleer. If you have any questions about menu options, dietary requirements, or which dining style may best suit your wedding, our team will be happy to guide you through the choices.

Should we consider wedding insurance?

While not mandatory, we encourage couples to consider wedding insurance for additional peace of mind when planning their wedding day.

Planning Support

Will Bundaleer assist us during the planning process?

Absolutely. From the moment you book through to the final moments of your wedding day, the Bundaleer team is here to provide thoughtful guidance, genuine support and the reassurance of an experienced venue team by your side.

Your Wedding Details Appointment will give us the opportunity to work through the important elements of your celebration together, including timings, catering, styling, suppliers, BYO beverages and wedding-day arrangements.

Should questions arise at any stage, you are warmly invited to contact our team by phone or email, or arrange a Zoom appointment when a more detailed conversation would be helpful. We are always happy to offer guidance and help make planning your Bundaleer wedding feel relaxed, organised and beautifully supported.

What is a Wedding Details Appointment and when is it usually held?

Your Wedding Details Appointment is designed to help bring everything together in the lead-up to your wedding day. During the appointment, we will go through your wedding details, timings, supplier arrangements, beverage planning and other important information to help ensure everything feels organised, relaxed and ready for your special day.

Bundaleer offers both in-person and Zoom Wedding Details Appointments, which are usually held approximately 3 months prior to your wedding date and can be booked through the Contact Us section of our website.

I’m overseas trying to organise a wedding in Brisbane — will you still be able to help?

Absolutely. Bundaleer regularly works with interstate and overseas couples and we are happy to assist throughout the planning process from afar.

We offer Zoom appointments, phone consultations and email support to help make planning your wedding as easy and stress-free as possible, no matter where you are located.

Are you available for appointments, drop-offs, setups or pickups after hours or on public holidays?

Appointments, drop-offs, setups and pickups are available during Bundaleer’s operating hours by appointment only.

You can request an appointment through our Contact us page, where available appointment times are listed for both weekdays and weekends up to 3 months in advance.

Due to the nature of weddings and events, our operating days and availability can vary. Some days may also be closed to allow our team time to rest between events.

Please note that access to the property is not permitted while weddings or private events are in progress, about to begin, or when the venue is closed.

---

Venue Access & Property

Do we have exclusive use of the venue?

Yes, you will have exclusive use of your venue space on the day of your wedding.

Can we access the venue early on the day of our wedding?

Venue access begins from 11:00 am on the day of your wedding, allowing you and your pre-arranged suppliers time to deliver items and complete styling before the celebration.

Earlier access cannot be guaranteed and must be approved in writing, as our team may still be completing cleaning and pack-down from the previous evening, along with mowing, gardening, maintenance and final venue presentation.

Some areas may therefore still be in preparation when you first arrive and may not yet appear fully wedding-ready. Our team works carefully within a limited window to ensure the venue is beautifully presented before your celebration begins.

For everyone’s safety, please remain clear of mowers, machinery and any areas where our team is actively working.

Clients and suppliers are responsible for unloading, transporting and arranging their own items. While our team will provide access and assist with orientation, continuous setup assistance is not included.

 

Can we visit the venue without an appointment?

As Bundaleer is private property and a exclusive wedding venue, visits are by appointment only. This helps us preserve the privacy of our couples and maintain the presentation of the venue and gardens for upcoming weddings and events.

We have already booked. Can we bring our suppliers, family or friends to visit the venue?

Of course. Once your wedding is booked, you are very welcome to arrange a return visit with family, friends or your chosen suppliers, subject to availability.

We know how special it can be to share the venue with the people helping bring your celebration together. To ensure our team is ready to welcome you and give you the time and access you need, all visits must be arranged in advance by emailing info@bundaleer.com.

As Bundaleer is a private, exclusive-use venue, access is only available by confirmed appointment. To ensure every couple enjoys privacy on their wedding day, visits are not available while another wedding or private event is taking place, being prepared for, or when the venue is closed.

Weekend appointments are limited due to our wedding schedule and can book several weeks in advance, so we recommend planning ahead where possible. Our team will always do their best to find a suitable time and make your visit feel relaxed, helpful and enjoyable.

What time can guests arrive?

Guests may arrive from 20 minutes prior to your ceremony or event start time. If guests arrive earlier, we kindly ask that they wait outside the venue, as our team will still be busy setting up and preparing for your special day.

Is there parking onsite?

Yes, there is ample onsite parking available for you and your guests.

What is the best way for guests to get home after the wedding?

As Bundaleer is located in Brisbane’s western suburbs, guests commonly travel to and from the venue via Uber, taxi, private transfer or pre-arranged bus services.

We recommend organising transport ahead of time, particularly for evening departures, weekends and larger weddings, as rideshare and taxi availability may be limited at certain times.

For added convenience, guests may also wish to pre-book their return transport using services such as Uber Reserve or local transport providers.

Can guests leave cars at the venue overnight?

Limited overnight parking is available by prior arrangement. Any vehicles left at the venue overnight are done so at the owner’s risk and we kindly ask that they are collected by 12pm the following day.

While reasonable care is taken, Bundaleer cannot accept responsibility for vehicles left onsite.

Is there a wet weather backup for our ceremony?

Yes, each venue has an undercover ceremony backup option available in wet weather.

Does the venue have accessible bathroom facilities?

Most standard wheelchairs can access and fit within our bathroom facilities, and one cubicle includes a support handrail for additional assistance. However, the bathroom, toilet, and space may be limited for larger or specialised wheelchairs.

Many areas of Bundaleer have even pathways, although some parts of the property include stairs. We encourage couples to consider the individual access requirements of their guests and, where possible, arrange a venue visit in advance to view the relevant areas and plan ahead.

Our team is also happy to discuss any specific mobility or accessibility requirements before the wedding.

Is there a getting-ready room or accommodation onsite?

Bundaleer does not offer onsite accommodation or a dedicated getting-ready suite. However, we do have a room available for touch-ups or outfit changes during the evening if needed.

As Bundaleer is conveniently located within Brisbane’s western suburbs, many couples choose to stay at accommodation of their choice either nearby or within Brisbane CBD, South Bank or surrounding areas prior to their wedding day.

What accommodation options are close to Bundaleer for our guests to stay?

There are a range of accommodation options located within close driving distance of Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens, including boutique hotels, apartments, Airbnb stays and Brisbane CBD accommodation.

Some popular nearby options include Essence Suites Taringa, Jephson Hotel Toowong, and a variety of Airbnb accommodation throughout Brookfield, Kenmore, Chapel Hill and the surrounding western suburbs.

Many guests also choose to stay within Brisbane CBD, South Bank or Fortitude Valley and travel to Bundaleer via Uber, taxi or private transport.

Ceremony & Reception

What time can the reception finish?

Our standard wedding package includes 6 hours of event time from your ceremony start time.

Couples may choose to extend their reception, subject to Bundaleer’s latest finish times and applicable extension fees.

Our latest finish times are:

Friday & Saturday: 11:00pm
Monday to Thursday: 10:00pm
Sunday: 9:00pm

Extension options and pricing can be discussed during the booking and planning process.

Can we extend our finish time on the night?

No, any extension to your finish time must be arranged prior to your wedding day.

What table layout is best for maximising dance floor and reception space?

Long banquet-style tables are generally the best option for maximising dance floor and reception space when compared to round tables, as they create a more open and spacious reception layout.

When is the best time to cut the wedding cake?

While the timing is completely up to you, we often recommend cutting your wedding cake shortly after your reception entrance. At this point, your guests are already gathered, standing, cheering and focused on you both, creating a fun and energetic atmosphere for photos and videos.

Many couples also find this timing helps the reception flow smoothly throughout the evening.

Will someone be there on the day to help everything run smoothly?

No matter which Bundaleer wedding package you choose, a dedicated Wedding Manager will be onsite throughout your celebration.

Your Wedding Manager will oversee the flow of the day, coordinate key moments, welcome suppliers and support you and your guests from arrival through to the final farewell.

They are also supported by our wider team, including venue operations, kitchen, catering and bar staff, all working behind the scenes to ensure every part of your wedding is thoughtfully managed.

You can relax and enjoy every moment knowing an experienced team is there to keep the day running smoothly, calmly and beautifully.

Do you provide a Master of Ceremonies (MC) for the reception?

While Bundaleer does not provide an in-house MC service, many couples choose to arrange their own MC for the evening. This may be a friend, family member, celebrant, DJ or professional MC, depending on the style and atmosphere they would like for their celebration.

Can we invite additional guests to the ceremony only and not the reception?

Yes, absolutely. After the ceremony, your MC can invite guests who are staying for the reception to head to the canapé area and thank those attending the ceremony only for coming.

What happens to our alcohol, cake and decorations after the wedding?

With a little forward planning, many couples are able to take everything home at the end of the evening and avoid returning the following day.

We recommend arranging several suitable vehicles and nominating sober family members or friends to assist with transporting any remaining alcohol, cake, decorations and personal belongings.

Valuable items, including wishing well cards, gifts and personal keepsakes, should always be taken with you on the night.

Any items left onsite will be carefully placed on collection trolleys and made available for pickup between 10:00 am and 11:00 am the following day, provided Bundaleer is open. If the venue is closed, our team will arrange an alternative collection time with you.

For next-day collections, we encourage you not to underestimate the amount of vehicle space that may be required, particularly for leftover alcohol, styling items and decorations. Arranging sufficient vehicles will help ensure everything can be collected efficiently and avoid multiple return trips.

Any guest lost property located after the event will also be placed on the collection trolleys for pickup at the scheduled collection time.

As we cannot guarantee refrigeration for leftover cake or other perishable items overnight, we strongly recommend arranging for these to be taken home at the conclusion of the evening wherever possible.

---

Catering & Beverages

Can dietary requirements and allergies be catered for?

Yes — our catering team is happy to accommodate most dietary requirements, allergies and food intolerances where possible when advised in advance.

While every reasonable effort is made to minimise cross-contamination, Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens and our catering providers cannot guarantee that meals will be completely free from allergen traces due to shared kitchen environments, food preparation processes, ingredient sourcing and supplier manufacturing conditions.

Some ingredients used at the venue may also be manufactured or packaged in facilities that handle common allergens including nuts, dairy, gluten, seafood and eggs.

Guests with severe allergies, anaphylaxis or complex dietary conditions are encouraged to notify the couple and venue prior to the wedding and may wish to consider supplying their own food if they are uncomfortable with the residual risk of cross-contamination.

Can we choose our own caterer?

No, Bundaleer works within its own catering arrangements, so outside catering is not permitted.

Do you provide table service?

Our team provides professional meal service and clears tables throughout the reception.

As every couple curates their own beverage selection, beer, wine and champagne are served from the bar rather than offered as traditional table service. This allows guests to choose from your personally selected drinks throughout the celebration, while our team ensures service remains polished, efficient and responsibly managed.

Water is also provided to guest tables throughout the reception.

Can we have cocktails or spirits at our wedding?

As a BYO venue, you are welcome to supply your own beverages for your wedding or event. Our staff can serve standard beverages provided by you, including water, soft drinks, beer, wine, champagne and other per-prepared drinks.

Please note that Bundaleer’s standard beverage service does not include cocktail preparation or a full spirits/bar service. If you would like cocktails, mixed drinks, espresso martinis or an extensive spirits service at your wedding, you will need to engage a fully self-sufficient mobile bar or cocktail service to provide this for your guests.

For safety, licensing and responsible service reasons, all alcohol brought onto the property must be commercially produced, sealed, and clearly labelled. Homemade, home-brewed, decanted or unlabelled alcohol is not permitted.

Can we have a cocktail cart during canapés?

Yes, cocktail carts may be permitted with prior approval from Bundaleer. Any supplier providing a cocktail cart must meet our venue and operational requirements and is responsible for their own setup, service, pack down and removal.

What is included with your BYO beverage service?

Bundaleer’s BYO beverage service gives you the freedom to curate a drinks selection that reflects your tastes, guest preferences and budget—without the traditional venue beverage mark-ups.

Our service includes RSA-qualified staff, standard glassware for wine, champagne and non-alcoholic beverages, along with water and ice throughout your reception.

Couples simply supply their preferred alcohol, soft drinks and any specialty beverages they would like served. This allows you to choose the brands, quantities and price points that suit your celebration while still enjoying polished, professionally managed beverage service.

Drop-off arrangements, recommended quantities and service details will be discussed with you during the planning process.

When can we drop off our BYO drinks?

To ensure your beverages are properly chilled and ready for service, BYO drinks are delivered at 10:00 am on the scheduled weekday prior to your wedding.

While the Bundaleer team is onsite throughout the weekend, our full attention is dedicated to the weddings and events taking place. For this reason, beverage drop-offs are scheduled on weekdays only, allowing our team to receive, store and prepare your drinks with the care and attention required.

Your confirmed drop-off date and time will be arranged during your Wedding Details Appointment, approximately three months before your celebration.

When you arrive, Bundaleer trolleys will be available to make unloading simple and convenient. Once your drinks have been placed securely onto the trolleys, our team will take care of transferring them to the cool rooms and preparing everything for your wedding day.

Bundaleer provides water and ice, while couples supply their preferred soft drinks and alcoholic beverages for guests.

Please note that all beverages delivered to Bundaleer that require chilling are placed directly into our cool rooms and chilled upon arrival. As many beverage suppliers will only accept returns of unopened cartons that have not been chilled, we recommend ordering thoughtfully and avoiding excessive quantities where possible.

Unopened cartons can take 24 hours or longer to chill properly. For this reason, we are unable to keep selected cartons unchilled or cool additional cartons on demand during the event. This helps ensure all beverages are consistently cold and ready for service throughout your celebration.

Do you offer children’s pricing?

Yes. Children’s meals are available for $50 each. Children who do not require a meal are complimentary; however, they must still be included in your final attendance numbers if they require a seat at the table.

How much are supplier meals?

Supplier meals are $50 each.

Can our wedding cake be dropped off the day before?

Wedding cakes are required to be delivered on the day of your wedding at a time arranged with Bundaleer in advance.

In line with food safety and health regulations, your chosen cake supplier is responsible for the delivery, setup, presentation and removal of any cake-related items following the event.

Please note that Bundaleer is unable to provide cake refrigeration or long-term storage unless arranged prior to the wedding day.

Do You Offer Food Truck Style Weddings?

Bundaleer offers a limited number of food truck style weddings on select available dates throughout the year, typically suited to shorter lead times and cocktail-style celebrations.

Food trucks can create a relaxed, modern and social dining experience within our rainforest and garden wedding venue setting. As Bundaleer’s kitchen facilities are not operated during external food truck service, this option is available for cocktail-style receptions only.

To protect the presentation and condition of our gardens and lawns, food trucks and catering vehicles are not permitted to drive onto grassed areas of the property. All external suppliers must remain fully self-sufficient and provide their own equipment, power, staffing and pack down arrangements.

We encourage couples considering a food truck wedding to speak with the Bundaleer team early in the planning process so suitable access and setup arrangements can be discussed along with a suitable date.

---

Styling, Decorations & Suppliers

What happens when we arrive for an approved day-before drop-off or setup?

A member of our team will meet you at your confirmed arrival time, provide access to the approved areas and make trolleys available to assist with unloading beverages, decorations and other pre-arranged items.

Day-before access is intended for deliveries and preliminary setup. As final preparations continue closer to your celebration, our grounds and operations team may still be onsite completing mowing, gardening, cleaning, maintenance and other venue presentation tasks. Some areas may therefore not yet appear fully wedding-ready.

Our grounds team often has a limited window in which to complete mowing and other essential work due to weather, event schedules and site conditions. For everyone’s safety, please remain well clear of mowers, machinery and any areas where our team is actively working, and allow them to complete their work without interruption.

While our team will assist with access and orientation, clients and suppliers remain responsible for unloading, transporting and arranging their own items. As our team may also be attending to venue preparations and other scheduled appointments, continuous assistance throughout your access period cannot be guaranteed.

What time can suppliers access the venue on our wedding day?

Suppliers and stylists are welcome to access Bundaleer from 11:00 am on the day of your wedding, unless an alternative time has been arranged with our team in advance.

As Bundaleer is a private, secured and alarmed property, all supplier arrivals, deliveries and setup times need to be confirmed beforehand. This allows our team to prepare the venue for their arrival, provide access where required and ensure the setup process runs smoothly.

We recommend sharing the confirmed access arrangements with each of your suppliers ahead of the day. All setup, deliveries and pack-down must take place within the times approved by Bundaleer.

Can we access the venue before our wedding day for a rehearsal or setup?

Access prior to your wedding day is limited and always subject to Bundaleer’s availability and approval. As Bundaleer is a exclusive wedding and events venue, the property may still be in use in the lead-up to your wedding day.

For this reason, day-before access and setup availability cannot be guaranteed, and approval for access does not necessarily mean the venue will already be fully set up or presentation-ready for your wedding at that time.

Where available, limited access may be arranged for rehearsals or selected pre-approved setup only, at a time confirmed by Bundaleer in writing in advance.

Any items brought to the venue before the wedding day are left at the client’s own risk. While care is taken, Bundaleer cannot guarantee the security or safekeeping of items left onsite overnight.

Please note that access to the property is not permitted while weddings or events are in progress or about to begin.

Can we store decorating items at the venue the day before?

Decorating items should be delivered on the day of your wedding unless otherwise approved in advance. As storage space is limited, we are unable to guarantee storage prior to your event.

Are there any restrictions for items placed on the lawns or gardens?

To help protect our lawns, gardens and irrigation systems, heavy items or structures such as portable dance floors, staging, vehicles and large installations are not permitted on grassed areas.

Please discuss any larger styling items or installations with our team during the planning process so we can help ensure they are suitable for the venue.

Do you offer decorating or styling services?

Bundaleer offers a curated collection of items for couples who choose to book items through us. Our styling package can be viewed on the In House Styling page of our website.

If you are using your own decorations, stylist, florist, décor or external suppliers, all setup and pack down must be arranged through those suppliers, as Bundaleer does not provide setup services for externally supplied styling or decorations.

Do you provide staff to assist in setting up our own decorations and equipment for our wedding?

Bundaleer’s team is dedicated to the coordination of your wedding day, including venue operations, food service and guest experience, to help ensure everything runs smoothly and seamlessly.

For operational and Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) reasons, our staff are unable to assist with the setup, styling, installation or pack down of externally supplied decorations, florals or equipment.

If you are planning additional styling or decorative elements outside of Bundaleer’s in-house styling package, we recommend arranging setup through your chosen stylist, florist, decorator or supplier team.

Do we need to pack everything up at the end of the night?

Bundaleer will assist by placing personal décor items onto collection trolleys at the conclusion of the event to assist with collection where possible. Clients and suppliers remain responsible for the pack down, collection and removal of all personal items, styling items and equipment brought onto the property.

We strongly recommend all valuable items, wishing well cards and personal belongings are taken with you on the night.

External suppliers are responsible for packing down and removing their own equipment, installations, packaging and waste.

When should suppliers begin pack down at the end of the night?

To help ensure a smooth finish to the evening and allow suppliers adequate time to pack down and exit the venue comfortably, we generally recommend that suppliers such as DJs and other evening vendors begin pack down approximately 15 minutes prior to the scheduled finish time where appropriate.

Are suppliers required to remove everything they bring onsite?

Yes. Each supplier is responsible for removing all equipment, installations, styling pieces, packaging, food items and waste they bring onto the property within their approved pack-down time.

As Bundaleer is a private and alarmed venue outside approved access hours, suppliers should not plan to leave items onsite for collection at a later time unless this has been arranged with our team in advance.

We ask you provide each supplier with a copy of our Supplier Terms before the wedding day so they are familiar with the venue’s access, setup, safety and pack-down requirements.

Can we have a photo booth at our wedding?

Yes — photo booths are always a fun addition to the reception and are welcome at Bundaleer. We do recommend discussing your reception layout and guest numbers with your supplier beforehand, as photo booths can require a considerable amount of space within the reception area depending on the style and setup selected.

Do you provide AV equipment or microphones?

No, Bundaleer does not provide AV equipment onsite. Your suppliers will need to provide any sound equipment, microphones, speakers, lighting, extension leads and other equipment required for their services.

Are there noise restrictions?

Yes. To respect our surroundings and neighbours, all music and amplified sound must remain within Bundaleer’s venue requirements and comply with directions from our team on the day.

Can we bring a band?

To help preserve the peaceful rainforest atmosphere and respect neighbouring properties, full bands are not permitted at Bundaleer. However, couples are welcome to include softer live music options such as acoustic performers, string quartets or live singers.

---

Venue Rules & Restrictions

Is smoking permitted at the venue?

Yes, smoking is permitted in outdoor designated areas

Do you allow candles?

Yes, candles are permitted at Bundaleer, however candles must be fully enclosed (such as glass hurricanes, votives, lanterns or cylinder vases) to help protect our tables, linens and venue property from wax damage, reduce fire risk, and help prevent candles from blowing out during the event.

Are there any items we cannot bring to the venue?

For the safety of our venue, guests and surrounding environment, the following items are not permitted:

• manufactured confetti products (including manufactured biodegradable) 
• fireworks
• smoke machines within indoor venue spaces
• fire pits
• unenclosed candles
• drum kits

Does the venue allow confetti?

Guests are welcome to use natural throw options such as fresh or dried flower petals.

Manufactured confetti products are not permitted at Bundaleer, including biodegradable, dissolving or water-soluble confetti, as these products can take significant time to break down and may stain venue furniture, paths and surrounding areas or affect the presentation of the venue grounds and gardens, and impact the surrounding natural environment.

Can we bring our pet for the ceremony and photos?

Yes, pets are welcome to join you for your ceremony and photos. They will then need to be taken home before the reception due to current health and food regulations.

Can it get cold at Bundaleer during winter weddings?

As Bundaleer is set within a rainforest garden environment, winter evenings can become cooler, particularly later at night and within outdoor areas of the venue.

For guest comfort, our reception areas are heated and outdoor heating is also provided during the cooler months. We still recommend guests bring a light jacket or wrap, especially for outdoor ceremonies or evening celebrations.
