Only half an hour’s drive inland from the Gold Coast, you will find Austinvilla Estate, a private estate set against a backdrop of native woodland and rainforest. Austinvilla Estate is a sprawling and all-encompassing wedding venue that is perfect for those who want to have their ceremony, reception, and morning after celebrations all in one location package, so you can spend less time travelling and more time enjoying the festivities.

The estate offers two contrasting ceremony options for you to choose from. For a unique blend of traditional and rustic, the Wedding Pavilion is the ideal choice, with its stunning glass-walled chapel. Located at the end of a candlelit path and nestled within a secluded woodland, the chapel boasts an antique-inspired aesthetic, complete with rustic benches for your guests, wooden directive signs, and antique signing tables. The chapel comes with a built-in sound system, making background music a breeze as you walk down the aisle.

The Rainforest Deck is another of Austinvilla Estate’s ceremony options. Suspended above ancient rainforest and tastefully decorated, this venue is perfect for a subtly sophisticated ceremony with a distinctly tropical spin. Guests can sit on bench seats with a view to a tasteful timber arbour, where the couple will say, “I do,” against a magnificent rainforest backdrop. This ceremony option also includes floral arrangements to match the space, as well as farmhouse-style signing table and two chairs. For chilly evenings, there are sheepskin rugs available, so guests can enjoy the fresh forest air while keeping warm.

Both the Wedding Pavilion and Rainforest Deck ceremonies provide the couple and guests with exclusive access to and use of the entire 111-acre property. This means that photography options are endless, and there is no danger of every photo looking the same. At Austinvilla Estate, you not only have access to a wide range of unique backdrops, but also a means of getting to them. Austinvilla Estate provides a buggy to transport the wedding party from location to location, making photography sessions simple, comfortable, and fun.

If you are looking for a venue that is equal in beauty and practicality, Austinvilla Estate is the perfect choice. The natural magnificence of the rainforest, paired with a quaint and tastefully decorated chapel, gives it a simple elegance that is unlike anything else in the region.
