AWARDED QUEENSLAND'S BEST WEDDING CATERER 2018

The historic
Gabbinbar
Homestead

For 148 years, the historic Gabbinbar Homestead was a private residence used by the Governors of Queensland as their Summer Resort. This charming Homestead was renowned for its beautiful gardens, peaceful ambience and warm hospitality.

In 2012, we officially opened the Homestead with a passion to do weddings differently. Instead of a function venue, we offer a magnificent estate as your exclusive home for your special day - complete with award winning food, exceptional service and breathtaking ceremony and reception locations.

He spoke to me for about 20 seconds and in that time, I learnt three things; he was very handsome, single, and was a 'farmer kid’ from Gatton. This appealed to me greatly, particularly because I've watched every season of Farmer Wants a Wife and always dreamt of ending up with a farmer.” Two weeks later, Eloise and Isaac had their first date and that was the beginning of their forever.
