Our Wedding Ceremony Venues

The Rainforest Amphitheatre - Rainforest / Hinterland Wedding Venue

Our rainforest wedding ampitheatre located in the Gold Coast hinterland

Wedding guests are comfortable and relaxed as their immediate vista encompasses a waterfall tumbling over mossy pebbles and rocks, falling to a delicate canal, bridged gently by a timber walkway. Their backdrop is the ever-imposing rainforest, with the bridal party centre-stage on a timber platform below.

As the groom waits under the elevated beams suspended by fragrant jasmine encrusted pillars, his bride steps across a stone arched bridge and magically approaches through a winding woodland path.  Dancing shadows, dappled sunlight, trickling water and birdsong add to the ambience as the happy couple takes their vows.

The all-weather canopy is an exceptional architectural feature in an outstanding location for your Gold Coast wedding. This majestic hinterland wedding venue links with the enchanting Island Glade wedding reception venue

The Outlook - Rainforest / Hinterland Wedding Venue

An open and grassy hinterland wedding ceremony venue called the Outlook

The Outlook is a grassy knoll with beautiful hedges with a beautiful rainforest backdrop - a truly memorable Hinterland wedding venue.

Within earshot of the babbling river waters of Cedar Creek, the Outlook is a gorgeous Hinterland wedding location that is sure to make your day even more special.

You may even spot some native rainforest critters in your wedding photos.

This is a truly special site for your wedding ceremony. We've seen many beautiful couples conduct their Gold Coast wedding on The Outlook, could your special day be next?

Lake Water Lily - Garden Wedding Venue

A lakeside, garden style hinterland wedding ceremony venue called Lake Water Lily.

If you want your wedding ceremony to be on the water but don't fancy a beach wedding, Lake Water Lily could be the right wedding venue for you.

Lake Water Lily (as the name suggests) is a grassy peninsula set by a beautiful lake with clear waters surrounded by water lilies.

Beside the lake is a natural timber arch that provides the picturesque setting for the happy couple to recite their vows.

This natural location provides a gorgeous setting for your wedding ceremony and allows your photographer to snap some beautiful photos of your special day.

This setting has a magical balance of visual elements from the green grass, to the shimmering lake, to the natural wooden arch. It is a raw, rustic feel that is really set off by the colourful lilies.

 

About The Stunning Gold Coast Hinterland

The Hinterland is home to many breathtaking rainforest retreats and amazing wedding venue locations. Many local residents affectionately describe the Gold Coast Hinterland as "the green behind the gold" and the beautiful rainforest is definitely green!

The Beauty of Nature.

The GC Hinterland around Tamborine Mountain is an incredible outdoor wedding location if you are looking for a gorgeous & private setting, relaxed atmosphere and a unique place to celebrate your special day with friends, family and loved ones. The rainforest, creeks and incredible sunsets make this a picturesque location that is perfect for unique wedding photos.

Comfortable Gold Coast Weather All Year Round.

It is a common misconception that an outdoor setting will be too hot during Summer, however, we find that the Hinterland is usually 5 degrees cooler than the weather in the heart of the Gold Coast. This makes Mount Tamborine one of the best outdoor locations to celebrate a Summer wedding or for that matter, a wedding during any season of the year.

Hinterland Wedding Testimonials

"We recently had our wedding here and it was absolutely fantastic. We got married in the Rainforest Amphitheatre and fell in love with the location. Our guests all raved about the venue, vibe and food on the day. The DJ, which was part of our package, helped create the mood on the night and the dance floor was never empty. The coordinators Ciara and Meagan helped us plan in the meetings leading up to the day and were very quick to respond to any requests or questions during our planning process. The staff on the day made our wedding run flawlessly and went above and beyond to make me and my husband happy. They showed up with clear umbrellas when it rained unexpectedly, they made sure we always had drink and food within reach, and coordinated with all our vendors to set our wedding up exactly as we had envisioned. We stayed in the bridal cabin and loved that it was cleaned and tidied for us before we returned from our reception. We could not have been happier with the entire experience. Thank you." - Lauren Jansen, February 2022.

 “We want to say a huge thank you for making our day so special and memorable.  We were so impressed with your calm, professional and above all friendly manner - you really are a superstar.  The venue was perfect, the day was wonderful and you played a big part in that.  You made everything possible and went the extra mile so many times.  Please also pass on our thanks to Cassie and her team of excellent bar/wait staff.  They were attentive, friendly and cheerful and we enjoyed having them there, they really did a wonderful job.

The food was amazing and every guest raved about it!! A stress-free, relaxing, exciting adventure for everyone (all ages) and we will definitely return and would highly recommend this spot for a wedding.
