Avalon Wedding Gardens You will experience a feeling of elegance and grandeur the moment you drive through the entrance of Avalon. Feel the Avalon magic as you sweep around the circular driveway under nature's canopy of magnificent old cedar, hoop pine and silky oak trees. Stepping from your "limousine" beside the European style fountain in front of our wedding temple, you will catch sight of your wedding party on the dais in front of a large pond rippled by the showers of seven fountains. Family and friends will be in awe of you, the bride and your attendants as you enter and make your way along the carpeted aisle to your ceremony dais. You are welcome to visit the gardens by appointment. 287 Long Road, North Tamborine, QLD, 4272 Phone: (07) 5545 4400 Email: Website: www.avalonweddinggardens.com.au

Pavilion Gardens Set in the hinterland of the Gold Coast on beautiful Mount Tamborine and surrounded by peaceful, fragrant, manicured gardens is the Pavilion Garden Restaurant and Wedding Venue. Not far from Gallery Walk and accommodating up to 100 guests, the Marquis-style Pavilion is usually the Bride's first choice; smaller weddings of around 50 guests are often held in the enclosed area. The garden is the perfect place for the Ceremony. There is no need to go anywhere else. While your special photos are being taken, your guests can enjoy nibbles and drinks in a relaxed and private atmosphere. After your photos, join your guests and share with them your first meal as husband and wife, then dance on to your favourite music. Both the fairy-lit Pavilion and the garden are yours to enjoy all afternoon and evening. Be it a cocktail wedding, a formal reception, or a more casual buffet reception, our staff and chef will work with you to ensure your special day is all that you want it to be. 32 Eagle Heights Road, North Tamborine, QLD, 4271 Phone: (07) 5545 1274 Email: info@paviliongardens.com.au Website: www.paviliongardens.com.au
