As a fifth generation, working cattle property, Pioneer Country offers everything you need in one convenient place – from our romantic plantation style chapel and stunning outdoor ceremony locations, to live music and our charming barn-style restaurant (which comfortably seats 220 people, is licensed until midnight and boasts a full commercial kitchen) – making us well equipped to bring your personalised hinterland wedding to life.
Included in all our affordable wedding packages are the services of our experienced in-house planner, so you can feel 100% confident knowing that every detail will be taken care of, any last-minute emergency will be handled and that your day is organised, relaxed and stress free.
As a private property, perfectly situated just 10 minutes from The Gold Coast Airport (less than a $20 Uber ride from world class accommodation in nearby Coolangatta) and a mere 3km from the M1 motorway – with direct routes to Byron Bay, The Gold Coast and Brisbane – Pioneer Country also offers guests unlimited free parking (day and overnight – for those wanting to relax and not drive home); making us undeniably, the perfect venue for locals and interstate visitors alike.
