“Goolabri was the all-in-one venue for our ceremony, reception, and photography. It had a beautiful relaxed country vibe and had the benefit of being so close to Canberra. The ceremony/chapel space was perfect for our exchanging of vows. It created an intimate vibe; we particularly loved the exposed beams and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bush. The lawns were lovely for pre-dinner drinks and canapes, and the rustic pub/restaurant was great to have the reception in. There was plenty of space for a live band and dancefloor. The team at Goolabri went above and beyond to help us set up the space with our own decorations and flowers. We look back on our wedding with such happy memories, mainly due to how wonderful everything at Goolabri was, and the professionalism of the team.” — Amber G.

July 2018

Goolabri was the all in one venue for the ceremony, reception and photography. We were able to use some of the cottages on the property to get ready beforehand. It had a beautiful relaxed country vibe, and had the benefit of being so close to Canberra. The ceremony/chapel space was perfect for our exchanging of vows, it created an intimate vibe and we particularly loved the exposed beams and the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the bush. The lawns were lovely for pre-dinner drinks and canapes, and the rustic pub/restaurant was great to have the reception in. There was plenty of space for a live band and dance floor. The staff at Goolabri went above and beyond to help us set up the space with our own decorations and flowers, and the wait staff were 100% on top of several guests with special dietary requirements and actively sought them out with specially made canapés. Goolabri even helped organise a courtesy bus for our guests to get home safely at the end of the night. We had approximately 150 guests in total, and they accommodated that amount with ease.We look back on our wedding with such happy memories, mainly due to how wonderful everything at Goolabri was, and the professionalism of the staff.
