How many guests can you cater for at Pioneer Country?

Our chapel can seat up to 120 guests on our pews with sides lattice walls opening outwards to provide viewing for up to another 100 guests. Our barn style restaurant comfortably seats 220 guests. Tip: When comparing venues, remember to count the number of seats on display to ensure there is still sufficient space for mingling, congregating at the bar, dancing, and, heaven forbid, what happens if it rains, where will the ceremony be held because the heavily styled tables can not be quickly pulled aside and reset?

Do you allow third-party catering?

Pioneer Country has a selection of in-house catering options: - night-market style hand carts - grazing tables - cocktail style, - sit down shared, feasting platters or alternate serves - buffet - and a wood-fired pizza oven as well as a full commercial kitchen Unfortunately, we no longer offer 3rd party catering after a couple of bad experiences that we would prefer are not associated with our hard-earned reputation for good food and plenty of it (there will be no stopping at Maccas on the way home from a Pioneer Country wedding).

Do you offer accommodation?

Pioneer Country is so close to town that we don't need to. We are only a 10-minute Uber or taxi drive from Coolangatta. We recommend the new Rydges Airport Hotel, where our guests enjoy a 15% discount and the bride and groom a free upgrade or the Colonial Caravan park riverfront cabins (800 m walking distance). Our off-street parking is secure, and guests can retrieve the cars easily the following day.

What will your in-house wedding planner do for our wedding?

She conducts a 2-hour planning meeting within one month of booking. During the planning meeting, she will help you draft the run order, agree on the menu and decide on the layout. She will help coordinate the rehearsal and queue the bridesmaids the day before. On the day she will receive vendors and help them bump in, she will liaise with the MC to ensure the run order keeps on schedule, and she will be the last to leave and close the gate behind her to ensure your guest's abandoned cars will be off-street and safe overnight. Sarah has a great list of tried and proven vendors that will streamline your wedding planning process. If you want some tips on how to trim the budget or styling suggestions - she is a wealth of knowledge.
