This is a very special day you are planning so at Rainforest Ranch we can help plan the wedding that YOU want by designing a package just for you. We would be very happy to show you around Rainforest Ranch and discuss your wedding requirements … this way you are able to see our facilities and the many options we are able to offer. An accurate quote can then be provided according to your needs and/or budget. S P E C I A L O F F E R: Book an inspection and we will give you another extra night’s accommodation free when you book a weekend wedding at Rainforest Ranch. That’s 2 extra free nights to allow you to relax before or after your wedding. So when would you like to visit? All you have to do is just give us a call and we will be very happy to arrange a time that is convenient. If you are unable to visit Rainforest Ranch then we can discuss your wedding over phone. Since Cyclone Marcia the restoration of foliage within the Rainforest has been exceptional and the subsequent clean-up has, in fact, led to some notable improvements. We now have a new area specifically designed to accommodate marquee receptions and our car parking facilities have been expanded. The purchase of some new equipment has also added to the services we can provide. THE NATURAL BEAUTY OFFERED BY RAINFOREST RANCH STILL EXISTS AND ALL OUR FACILITIES ARE FULLY OPERATIONAL.

Wedding Packages

WEDDINGS at

Rainforest Ranch

Rather than offer set packages we will design with you, a package that will, importantly, allow you to plan your wedding in a way that suits your needs & budget. Your package will be based on 3 components. Venue Rates, Accommodation Rates and Food Service Rates. Extra services are available & our Licenced Bar operates during your event.

We therefore suggest that you take an opportunity to visit us. That way we can show you ALL that Rainforest Ranch has to offer and discuss options for your event. We can then provide you with a quote that will be held firm to the time of your event.

We offer a commitment to service that will ensure your event is the success you desire. We have had many years of experience in organising events. We operated a party hire business for a number of those years and have experience in food and beverage catering. We can provide assistance to you or your wedding/event planner, in all areas of managing your event. Call now for an appointment: 0447 555186
