Venue Testimonials
Gabbinbar was an easy choice from the moment we walked through the gates. Stunning grounds, amazing food and incredible staff. We are so grateful to have had our special day here in October 2021. I could not recommend it highly enough. Everything was perfect, and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams. Our guests have continued to rave about how amazing everything was. Thank you to the entire Gabbinbar Homestead team for giving us a moment in our life that we will never forget!

A stunning venue and exceptional service. Our guests were still in awe the next morning which was so lovely to hear! We were especially impressed with the ease at which the Gabbinbar staff handled all our dietary requirements! The chef didn't just make one meal to suit all requirements, but instead was able to tailor our requested meal to suit as many requirements as they could. Very impressed!! Thank you so much!

Gabbinbar is one of the most gorgeous venues we have ever been to, and we knew straight away that we wanted to get married there. Everything was a breeze when it came to organising our wedding and that was due to the wonderful team at Gabbinbar. Nothing was too big of an ask and everything ran smoother than I could have imagined on the day. I would recommend this venue to everyone! All of my guests have commented on how wonderful the wedding was and I have Gabbinbar to thank for that.
