The Venue Guide
Cedar creek Estate weddings
Everything you need to know about organising a Cedar Creek Estate wedding at one of the Gold Coast Hinterland’s most beautiful winery venues from experienced Gold Coast wedding photographers.
Why You Should Get Married at Cedar Creek Estate
Cedar Creek Estate is a dream venue if you love the idea of a vineyard wedding on Mount Tamborine — with the convenience of having your ceremony, portraits, and reception all in one place. The estate has a relaxed, romantic feel: a tree-lined driveway, vineyard views, and a lake that makes everything look extra magical in photos.
One of the best parts is the choice of ceremony settings. If you want an indoor option (or a wet-weather backup that still feels special), the sandstone chapel is gorgeous. If you’d rather be outside, the garden arbour overlooking the lake is a stunning spot to say your vows.
The Sandstone Chapel
Cedar Creek Estate’s chapel is one of those ceremony spaces that instantly feels timeless. The sandstone, the calm, and the way it sits within the grounds makes it perfect for couples who want something elegant but not overly formal.
It’s also a great option if you’re worried about weather, heat, or wind — you still get that beautiful “venue moment” without having to cross your fingers all day.

The reception spaces
Cedar Creek Estate has a really nice flow for weddings because your guests can move from ceremony → drinks → reception without needing to travel anywhere.
For receptions, there are two standout options:
The Cedar Room — warm, inviting, and ideal if you want the classic reception energy: speeches, dancing, and a full celebration with everyone together.
The Vineyard Terrace — perfect for a relaxed pre-dinner vibe (and a beautiful spot for those candid guest moments with a view).

Kiarna and Owain say…
“Ben and Hope made everything feel easy and natural. We didn’t feel like we were posing all day — we just got to enjoy the moment, and the photos came out better than we ever expected.”
Wedding portrait locations at Cedar Creek Estate’
There are so many great locations for your Cedar Creek Estate wedding photographer across the grounds. Here are a few of our favourites:
- The Sandstone Chapel
- The Garden Arbour & Lake
- The Vineyard & Tree-Lined Driveway
The Sandstone Chapel
The chapel area is perfect for clean, timeless portraits with a bit of texture and character. We love using the chapel surrounds for those just-married moments right after the ceremony — hugs, happy tears, and that first deep breath together.
The Garden Arbour & Lake
If you want romantic portraits that feel soft and natural, this is the spot. The lake gives you gorgeous reflections and calm tones, and the arbour area feels like you’ve stepped into a hidden little garden. It’s also an amazing place for bridal party photos (especially when everyone’s feeling relaxed after the ceremony).
The Vineyard & Tree-Lined Driveway
This is where Cedar Creek really shines in photos. The rows of vines, the open space, and that golden-hour light on the mountain create unreal portraits — especially in the late afternoon when everything warms up and glows. Even a quick 10-minute wander here can give you a whole set of “wow” images.
