Happy Monday Dotties! Happy Monday!

It’s lovely Autumn – the season of colourful beauty, grey skies, and cool days. Why not consider an Autumn or winter wedding to take advantage of cosy fireplaces, a warming feast, and warmth inside. Take time also to explore our Polka Dot Directory which is filled with vendors who are standing by for forward bookings in 2021and beyond.

Who doesn’t love a beautiful venue with a country atmosphere, but with an elegant sensibility? With beautiful 150-year-old gardens filled with majestic trees, swathed in fairy lights, and a historic homestead exclusively yours for the day. Stables, garden pavilion and an old-school house are also yours to explore and provide wonderful photo opportunities. For your reception, the Conservatory or a marquee if available, before you take your first dance under the magnificent chandeliers in the Ballroom. And having been awarded QLD’s Caterer of the Year in 2018, the food, of course, is a standout feature with ‘contemporary twist on wholesome, home-style cooking’. Located near the garden city of Toowoomba, this destination venue is a must with plenty of accommodation nearby and a major airport hub for ease of travel.

We asked Chloe of Gabbinbar Homestead five questions in five minutes:

What is the most important piece of advice you can give to engaged couples?

It’s your special day. You want to look back on the day and think wow, I really did get the wedding I always wanted. ⁠ Decide what is important to you and your partner and try not to compromise on those big things, don’t fret the smaller things.⁠

Tell us about a hidden talent you have?

As Queensland’s Caterer of the Year 2018, our food and drinks are our not-so-hidden talent! At Gabbinbar, country hospitality meets fine dining and our head chef does an excellent job at leading the kitchen team to create spectacular food. We have so many fantastic and unique menu options for the garden party and reception. We also love to customise the menu for our couples.

As a vendor, what excites you about the wedding day?

Everything! We are honoured to be chosen to host our couple’s wedding day. We love witnessing the love our couples share and the joy it brings their families to watch their union. We make sure everything runs smoothly and take care of the details so our couple has the most amazing day.
