The Beginning of Chloe & Tom’s Happily Ever After
Chloe and her bridesmaids spent the morning at The Nest Treehouse, filled with laughter and pampering as they prepared for the big day Meanwhile, just a short distance away, Tom eagerly awaited her arrival Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Chloe and Tom chose the picturesque peninsula for their ceremony The day could not have been more perfect: Lake Baroon was a flawless mirror of the surrounding mountains, and the sky was completely clear, adding to the magic of the moment
After exchanging vows, the couple and their guests celebrated with a lunch reception at the private Lake House, nestled within the lakeside gardens. Throughout the day, Chloe and Tom took a few quiet moments to escape the hustle and bustle and fully immerse themselves in the stunning surroundings of the Secrets gardens, savouring the serenity and the beginning of their new life together

Intimate ♥ Intentional ♥ Iconic
If you have your own vision of how you want your wedding day to be…. specific, personal and on budget then Maleny Orchard is well worth a look We provide the space and you provide the vision
Tehlia and Ryan were empowered with the vision of their perfect wedding before they even viewed Maleny Orchard When visiting onsite during the January 2024 Maleny Wedding Festival, they knew they’d found their venue Open skies, tree lined aisle, endless photo locations and most importantly, the freedom to design their entire day their way Maleny Orchard was for them.

We provide the space and you make it come alive - a true blank canvas for you to create your perfect day Pet friendly, with only one all inclusive package, helping make your own unique wedding come to fruition whilst keeping control of the budget

Another thing to understand is the wide scope in celebrant fees you will both encounter.
