Gabbinbar - Middle Ridge, Queensland

Wow! Words cannot describe how absolutely incredible Gabbinbar was, right from our very first meeting until the very end of our wedding day! There was nothing that was too much trouble and we felt incredibly supported through the entire wedding planning process and our whole wedding day. We had the most perfect day and it was so special to not have to worry about a thing and to know that our day would unfold exactly as we wanted. Not to mention how unbelievably stunning the venue itself is!! Our guests could not stop raving about the venue, the service, and the food. We will be talking about the food for a very long time to come! Gabbinbar as a venue and all of the staff are second to none! We wish we could re-live our day again and again. Thank you, Gabbinbar, from the bottom of our hearts! A special shout out as well to Lauren, Sofia, Brandon, and Riley who we worked with so closely on our day and who brought the perfect energy! Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️❤️

Gabbinbar really is the only choice for weddings. The venue is spectacular and the service is unreal. You absolutely get what you pay for. My day ran seamlessly because of the professionalism of the staff. I cannot recommend Gabbinbar more, images truely do not do it justice. My guests have not stopped talking about how beautiful the day was and how amazing the service was.

We recently hosted our brand reveal at Gabbinbar, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, providing exceptional service and support both in the lead-up and on the day of our event. The location itself is stunning, offering a beautiful and memorable setting that our team and guests absolutely loved. We have received nothing but positive feedback from everyone who attended. Thank you, Gabbinbar, for helping us create such a special and successful event. Highly recommend!

Ever since we first saw Gabbinbar Homestead we knew it was the place we wanted to host our wedding. The staff at Gabbinbar were well co-ordinated and made the initial consultation phase easy to go through. We had about 12 months of planning which was made simple with Gabbinbar's online portal and regular contact. Moving forward to our day, the staff went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly and ensured that we were able to enjoy our day as much as our guests did. The venue looked spectacular and the service was nothing short of excellent. We cannot thank Gabbinbar Homestead enough for giving us the perfect wedding.

We had an amazing experience with Gabbinbar and would definitely recommend it as a wedding venue! We planned a mixed cultural event (Hindu/Indian and Chinese) with lots of unique traditions and our main wedding coordinator Lauren was incredibly approachable and supportive with helping us fit them into our day. We were able to contact the team with lots of last minute changes and questions in the lead up to the day and they were always accommodating - even on the day when my father in law brought some Mou Tai!

The organisation prior (such as the webpage to keep documents / send messages and contacting vendors themselves to confirm specific details) and on the day, and commitment to service from all of the staff was incredible.

The venue is absolutely beautiful with beautiful gardens that are really well maintained.
The food was delicious! The venue was really supportive of discussions around menu alterations to incorporate our cultures without any additional cost (we had Pani Puri served as our first entree). They were also supportive of bringing traditional sweets from home.
Huge thank you to Lauren, Riley and the whole Gabbinbar team who helped make the day so magical.

Gabbinbar is undoubtedly the most magnificent venue we could’ve chosen to get married at and it has easily earned all of its 5-star reviews twice-over.

The grounds are stunning and impeccably maintained. If you enjoy nature and gardens like my wife and I, then it is hands-down the best choice you can make. The gardens are gorgeous and make for the most incredible backdrop (even in the rain like on our day!).

Having grown-up in older Queenslanders ourselves, both my wife and I absolutely loved the quintessential wooden floors of the Homestead, tall ceilings, and of course the stand-out conservatory. With its tall glass ceilings, the conservatory is a jewel. With many, many options to decorate with florals or fairy lights (see their Insta for countless inspiration options) it was truly the most special place.

The entire experience was professional and streamlined, from planning right through to the end of the night. The ‘MyGabbinbar’ portal and amazing staff made coordinating the venue and other vendors an absolute breeze.

The service on the day was faultless, neither my wife or I had to worry about a single thing, which allowed us to instead just focus on having the best time of our lives. In addition, we were outstandingly well looked after on the day before and after the ceremony and during photo shoots – we were constantly offered food and drinks and checked-in with by the staff to make sure we had everything we needed. The entire team was also incredibly quick to jump in when the weather suddenly turned and it rained through the garden party. The transition was seamless.

The food! I’ll admit, I have every reason to be biased, but this was easily the best food I’ve ever had at any wedding I’ve been to. Our guests were extremely pleased with the canapes and garden party food, and have told us that they were well fed throughout cocktail hour. The main meals were incredible (we highly recommend the lamb entrée and main – both were stunning) and the roaming dessert option was perfect for snacks at the end of the night along with our cake.

Special shout-out to just a handful of the fantastic team who were outstanding at all times and each contributed to making our day incredible – Lauren, Tyler and Brandon.

We couldn’t recommend this place more for couples who are looking for both the most beautiful venue in south-east Queensland and who want a stress-free and streamlined experience.

We got married at Gabbinbar on the 24th February. When looking for a venue it didn’t take us long to lock in Gabbinbar, as right from the beginning we felt instantly welcomed by the charm of the estate and the friendliness of the staff.

The whole process of planning a wedding with the team at Gabbinbar was seamless and pleasant.

Our guests haven’t stopped raving about our wedding, how beautiful the grounds were how amazing and attentive the staff were on our day.

We would recommend Gabbinbar to anyone for their wedding day.

Gabbinbar team, my goodness. The BEST in the business. Absolutely PHENOMENAL.

The venue is stunning, the food is outstanding, but above all, the team are exactly who you want and need on your wedding day.

Attention to detail, incredibly helpful, kind and calm, attentive (without being overbearing), and FUN! Our day was stress free because of their team.

From the moment you set foot on the grounds of Gabbinbar, be it to view the venue, attend a wedding, or actually be the bride and groom, the Gabbinbar team are on to it.

You’re in fantastic hands. Stop looking at other venues. Just lock them in! It’s worth it.
