Wedding Venues Gold Coast

Timeless Allure Meets Unparalleled Service

A Legacy Of Unforgettable Moments

Gabbinar offers a harmonious blend of modern luxury, timeless elegance and natural beauty, only a short journey from the Gold Coast.

The estate has a long and rich history. Here, countless love stories have found their beginning. Stories of joy, celebration and promise - leaving an indelible mark and enduring legacy. In the 19th century, Gabbinbar served as the summer residence for Queensland’s Governors, where family, friends, and dignitaries gathered. The estate's sprawling grounds were the backdrop for weddings, soirées and intimate gatherings. It was a place where life’s most precious moments were created and shared.

Today, the team at Gabbinbar honours this legacy with the same dedication to creating unforgettable memories. From the lush gardens to the timeless interiors, Gabbinbar offers not just a venue, but a continuation of its heritage— a place where new stories are written, deeply rooted in the traditions of hospitality, celebration, and joy.
