How far in advance should we book?

We recommend enquiring as early as possible, particularly if you have a specific date or season in mind.

Wynmère hosts a limited number of weddings each year, so availability can be quite limited for popular dates and seasons.

Do you offer weekday weddings?

Yes. Weekday weddings are very much part of the Wynmère experience and can offer a beautiful alternative to a traditional Saturday celebration.

Our weekday and weekend packages are priced differently, so we recommend letting us know your preferred date when enquiring.

Can we choose our own suppliers?

We have a carefully selected group of preferred suppliers who understand the Estate and the way we work.

We are also happy to consider alternative suppliers where appropriate. Any supplier who is not already approved by Wynmère must be discussed with and approved by our team before being booked.

This helps us ensure that every supplier working at the Estate understands our property, requirements and the level of care we expect.

Do you provide a wedding planner?

Wynmère includes our own coordination team as part of the wedding experience.

Our team works closely with you throughout the planning process and is there on the day to coordinate the event and ensure everything runs smoothly.

Do you offer wedding rehearsals?

Yes. Rehearsals can be arranged with our team.

Because Wynmère is not an everyday-open wedding venue, rehearsals require preparation and exclusive use of the Estate. Our team personally prepares the ceremony space, welcomes the bridal party and runs through the processional with you.

Rehearsals are charged additionally and intended for the bridal party participating in the processional only, with all other guests joining you on the wedding day.

Can we visit Wynmère before booking?

Absolutely. We love showing couples around the Estate and is a requirement before we can confirm an event booking.

Viewings are generally held on Sundays and Tuesdays, with other appointments available where possible depending on our event and project schedule.

As Wynmère is a private working Estate, viewings are by appointment only.

What ceremony locations are available?

Wynmère has several beautiful ceremony options depending on the season, weather and style of your celebration.

Our open-air Atrium provides an all-weather ceremony option and can be styled either naturally or with draping. Our gardens offer a more traditional outdoor ceremony setting, surrounded by the Estate’s seasonal planting and mature landscape.

Your ceremony location can be discussed with our team during the planning process.

What happens if it rains?

The weather doesn’t have to stand between you and your Wynmère wedding.

Our Atrium provides a beautiful all-weather ceremony option and can also be used as your cocktail hour space when your ceremony takes place in the gardens.

For winter weddings, the Atrium can be heated, while our reception spaces are air-conditioned for year-round comfort.

What time can our guests arrive?

Guests should not arrive at the Estate before 2:00pm, unless specifically arranged with our team for approved setup assistance.

Your confirmed Event Order will outline the specific timings for your wedding.

What time does the celebration finish?

Wynmère has a firm closing time of 9:00pm Monday to Thursday and 10:00pm Friday and Saturday.

This is an important part of our venue operations, and all transport must arrive at least 15 minutes before the required departure time.

Can we have outdoor music?

Outdoor amplified music is subject to our venue and local noise requirements and must finish by 6:00pm.

Your entertainment will need to comply with Wynmère's acoustic requirements, which our team will provide during planning.

Can we have an outdoor reception?

Wynmère does not offer outdoor receptions as the venue offers a beautiful and comfortable indoor reception building.

Who caters at Wynmère?

Wynmère has a dedicated resident catering team, Ridgeway Catering, led by Chef Dan Ridgeway, owner of two hatted restaurants; The Little Truffle (French) and Madame V (Asain fushion).

The team specialises in generous, seasonal feasting-style menus designed to be shared down the centre of the tables.

Can we choose our own caterer?

Wynmère works with Ridgeway Catering as our resident catering team, so external catering is not offered.

This allows us to maintain consistency in food quality, service and the overall guest experience.

Is catering included in the venue hire fee?

No. Venue hire and catering are separate components of your wedding investment.

Our team can provide the relevant venue and catering information once we know your preferred date, guest numbers and whether you are considering a weekday or weekend celebration.

Is there a catering surcharge on Sundays or public holidays?

Yes. A 15% catering surcharge applies to weddings held on a Sunday or Queensland public holiday.

Can we bring our own food or alcohol?

The only external catering Wynmère allows is suppliers such as gelato carts, oyster shuckers, etc. Any client-supplied food or beverage must be discussed with and approved by the Wynmère team and must comply with all applicable food safety and service requirements.

Alcohol service is managed through the approved catering and bar team. Wynmère does not offer BYO.

Can we style the Estate ourselves?

Wynmère does not offer DIY set-up, meaning couples and their guests are not permitted to style the space. All events require a vendor that is responsible for this element and must retain the required insurances / licences.

Can we have an outdoor dance floor?

Outdoor dance floors are not permitted at Wynmère.

Our team can talk you through the best options for creating a beautiful reception and dance floor experience within the designated reception spaces.

Can we use confetti?

Natural petals and leaf confetti may be approved.

Rice confetti, balloons, confetti cannons, biodegradable confetti and similar products are not permitted.

Can we have sparklers?

Sparklers require prior written approval and are subject to specific safety requirements. They are not permitted indoors. Wynmère does not offer sparkler exits.

Can we bring children?

Wynmère is designed primarily around intimate adult celebrations.

A maximum of five children aged 1–12 may attend the ceremony, with active and responsible adult supervision required at all times — particularly around gardens, rocks, rock walls and the creek.

Children are not permitted at the post-ceremony canapés or reception and are required to leave after the ceremony and group photographs.

Can we bring our dog?

Wynmère is dog / pet friendly, however, there is behavoural requirements that need to be met.

Because Wynmère is a garden Estate with open spaces, guests, other suppliers and natural features, we assess each dog individually. Dogs must remain under the care and control of their designated carer and all clean-up is the owner's responsibility.

Can our guests stay at Wynmère?

Wynmère is a private residence and does not offer on-site accommodation.

There are a number of beautiful accommodation options within easy walking distance and around Mt Tamborine / the surrounding Hinterland, our team can point you towards some of our nearby favourites.

Do you provide transport for guests?

For wedding bookings with more than 60 guests, a complimentary coach transfer is included from one central Gold Coast pickup location or a local accommodation.

Additional or alternative pickup locations, including Brisbane, can be arranged where possible and may incur an additional charge.

Can guests leave whenever they like?

Guests are welcome to leave when they need to, however our transport and venue closure requirements need to be observed.

Is there parking at Wynmère?

Yes. There is guest parking at the Estate, with approximately 20 guest car spaces available.

We recommend carpooling or using the included coach transfer where possible.

Street parking is not permitted.

Can we arrive by helicopter?

Helicopter arrivals and landings are not permitted on the property. There is a landing area at the showgrounds, a 5-10min drive away.

How do we enquire about a wedding?

To provide accurate pricing and availability, we ask for a few details when you enquire via our contact form:

• Your names

• Preferred date or season

• Approximate guest numbers

• Midweek or weekend preference

Is there a minimum guest number?

Our full wedding catering has a 30-guest minimum.

Can we hold a date while we decide?

Dates are only secured once the required booking documentation has been completed and the applicable deposit has been received.

Our team can let you know what is currently available when you enquire.

Why is Wynmère different from a traditional wedding venue?

Wynmère was created to feel more like a private European Estate than a conventional wedding venue.

We intentionally host fewer weddings each year, allowing our team to be genuinely involved in each celebration.

From the gardens and architecture to the food, styling and way your day unfolds, every element is considered around creating an intimate and beautifully personal experience.

Do you host other events?

Yes. Wynmère can accommodate a limited number of private events and celebrations outside our wedding offerings, subject to availability and suitability.

Our event packages are tailored to the nature and scale of the occasion.

Is Wynmère accessible?

We work to provide accessible options wherever possible. Our Atrium has a concrete floor and can provide a more accessible ceremony setting where outdoor ground conditions are unsuitable.

If you or any of your guests have particular accessibility requirements, please let us know when enquiring so our team can discuss the best options with you.

Where can I find your full Terms & Conditions?

Our full Terms & Conditions form part of your booking documentation and are provided during the booking process.
