Wedding Package:
Ceremony Only
Ceremony Only $1,500
Our ceremony only package includes 2 hours exclusive use of either the plantation style chapel for an indoor ceremony or outdoor wedding ceremony at our Tweed Heads location.
Antique pews seat 120 guests comfortably, with lattice style side walls that open outwards to include outside viewing for a further 200 guests. At Pioneer Country we have a further 170 acres of outdoor wedding ceremony locations available, with favourite unique locations such as “under the fig tree”, “the bell tower”, “lakeside”, or the gorgeous “one tree hill”.
Please note our Chapel and Ceremony only options are exclusively available Sunday to Thursday.
The wedding ceremony only package includes 2 hours private usage of the venue and chapel. Optional extras are available that include outdoor seating and furniture, as well as a 4WD buggy complete with driver. Don’t be afraid to ask for further details!
We’re also offering an option to extend your hire period by an additional hour, with wandering waiters, canape and a sparkling wine service on the chapel lawn if you’d like to continue your celebrations after the wedding ceremony.
Frequently Asked
Questions
What is the minimum number of guests?
During peak period ie Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays the minimum number of guests is 50 adult equivalents. For Mondays through to Thursdays the minimum is a much more intimate 20 adult equivalents (think private chef & butler type service levels).
0-4 years old are free
5-12 years old @ 50% of the adult price
13 years and older @ full adult price
Adult equivalent example
50 adults plus 2 x 13 y.o. children
equates to 50 adults + (2 x 0.5) = 51 adult equivalents
Pioneer Country is fully licensed and to retain our liquor license we must control all sales and supply of liquor on site. Therefore alcohol is not to be brought onto the premises by either the client, guests or 3rd party service providers.
Fortunately this means it is Pioneer Country’s responsibility to ensure all bar staff are responsible service of alcohol trained. It also means you do NOT have to apply to the NSW Dep. of Liquor & Gaming for a temporary liquor license because we already have an on-premises liquor license.
Our liquor license goes until 12 mid night.
Pioneer Country recommends you organise at least the following services and that they be booked in the following order:
1. celebrant
2. photographer/videographer
3. cake
4. flowers
(bridal party flowers, table arrangements optional, chapel arrangements optional)
5. music (either DJ or live musicians)
Sarah has a long list of recommended suppliers that can streamline organising your wedding.
Typically you can save $1,500 on your venue hire if you choose to hold your wedding on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
Due to increased labour costs Sundays and public holidays incur a 15 % surcharge for food and beverages (not applicable to venue hire).
We don’t need to because we are so close to town (10 mins). We recommend:
For the bride and her tribe we recommend the gracious Belle River House at Tumbulgum. She sleeps 16-18 adults and is a scenic 13 km drive from Pioneer Country. Rydges Airport Hotel & The Pink Hotel Coolangatta also offer special discounts for Pioneer Country wedding guests.
Alternatively, The Colonial & River Retreat caravan parks are walking distance (600 meters) and offer affordable riverfront cabins.
We are only a 10 minute taxi ride from Coolangatta-Tweed Heads.
Guests are also welcome to leave their cars in our off-street carpark and collect them at their leisure the following day.
Unfortunately this option is no longer available however our in-house chef will NOT disappoint. If you want a food truck vibe please consider our night market hand cart menu options. Also note, using the in-house catering facility means you have one less major vendor to manage on your wedding day 🙂
