Photo Shoots
Well, howdy, lovebirds!
Once you’ve booked your big day with us, you’ll be part of the Pioneer Country family—and that means some extra special perks!
First up, you’re more than welcome to swing by for some engagement snaps before the main event. Just bring your photographer, your love, and maybe a cheeky smile or two – no extra charge, of course!
Then, once you’ve said “I do” and soaked up all that wedded bliss, why not mosey on back for a family or anniversary photoshoot? You are welcome to BYO a picnic and take in that view that you might not have had time to truly appreciate on the big day.
For other types of photoshoots please ask about the hourly hire fee.

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.
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.

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).

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 (700 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.
