About Woodford Gardens

Set in the historic township of Woodford, about 50 minutes from Brisbane Airport and roughly the same from the Sunshine Coast, Woodford Gardens is a rustic garden venue built around established trees, manicured beds and open lawn. The white rotunda is the signature, strung with fairy lights and set against a wall of green.

The property previously ran as a cafe and now opens exclusively for private events, which is why the whole place is yours for the day rather than shared with day trippers. Exclusive hire runs up to seven hours, existing furniture seats up to 70, and there are multiple ceremony spots across the grounds so you are not locked into one backdrop.

The flexibility is the real draw. You can hire the venue and bring your own caterer, food truck or stylist, or hand the whole thing to Married by Bec on a curated package with celebrant, coordination and styling included. Three BnB suites sleep up to six on site, which solves the getting-ready problem and the getting-home one. Compare it with the other wedding venues in Queensland, then send an enquiry below.
