Kitty Boo Boo Handmade Wedding - The Venue

As I stated earlier, we chose Cedar Creek Lodges at Thuderbird Park, Mt Tamborine for our wedding. We had been to a wedding there and loved the venue. Pete and his family use to camp there when he was younger. 


There are quite a few areas in the park to have your ceremony and/or reception at but we chose the Rainforest Amphitheatre for our ceremony and the Island Glade for our reception. These are outdoors but covered and were truly beautiful! All that luscious greenery and cedar creek running behind us ... serene and beautiful!

The Island Glade has a roof but is right next to the amphitheatre (which became the dance floor later). There was an open fire and low lighting after the speeches. These areas are separated by the ssupport beams which were entwined with Jasmine. It smelt divine too.


The bridal party walk down from the gorgeous cabins through the rainforest over the cutest little bridge and follow the winding path to the wishing well and amphitheatre. As the guests are sitting (on cushions) on the stairs they get to see the bride enter from the side.


It was very romantic and had a great ambience!


The food was all cooked at the Island Glade (there is a kitchen down there too!) and a bar at the back of the area. The food was absolutely DIVINE and just about all of our guests mentioned it to us! It was an important factor, I really wanted a great meal. Nothing worse than a crap 3 course meal to sit through! It was piping hot and cooked beautifully! The dessert was amazing. We were so impressed by the quality.


We look forward to going back on our anniversary and even if we choose the very affordable camping option there's so much other cool stuff to do at Thunderbird Park we are all looking forward to it!

Thunderbird Park ... the drive home

Thunderbird Nuptials ...

Work has been crazy the last few weeks. Our dept manager decided to make Melbourne her new home and until she is replaced I have done what I can to keep the ship floating. It's meant longer hours and heavier work load, more stress and more responsibilities. It's been tiring.


So how beautiful did the weekend turn out!



Pete and I were invited to Mick and Summers Wedding at Thunderbird Park at Mt Tambourine and it was gorgeous.
We left the kiddies with a grandparent each and set out for a mini adventure with each other.
The drive there was pretty great especially the short jaunt through the Rainforest.


We arrived and checked into our lodge and got ready. Brad and Krystle joined us and we made our way to the amphitheatre for the wedding. The ceremony was beautiful, the bride was stunning, the bridesmaids looked gorgeous and the groom and his men were handsome.

After the ceremony we 4 went for a short trip down the mountain to the bottle shop to get some more to drink and then we had a bit of a catch up before rejoining the party and making our way to the cafe/restaurant for pre-drinks with everybody.

The reception was set up near the amphitheatre which became the dance floor! The meal was delicious (I swapped with Brad - my Steak for the Salmon!) and the people at our table were great to talk to. I love weddings.
