ABOUT FORGET ME NOT
The ultimate venue for couples seeking a large scale wedding that still caters for an intimate, unique atmosphere. It exists as a private working cattle farm and invites the inquisitive soul to discover a hidden waterfall and lush rainforest. Escape to an impressive landscape that is magical and in all parts romantic.
Positioned on a 100-acre private property in the hinterland, Forget Me Not is secluded however only a 10-minute drive from Byron Bay and the neighbouring boutique town of Bangalow.
Prize-winning gardens and a spectacular lake filled with water lilies frame this luxe oasis. From these surrounds, your choice of ceremony spots are endless; the most popular being under the shade of trees. There is no need to leave the venue for photos either. This will allow for more time spent with your friends and family and the diverse setting, bathed in natural light, will provide you with the most beautiful photography.
The site, provided with a toilet block, can comfortably accommodate up to 150 guests. Framing your tipi or marquee is the farm’s cattle, horses and the post and rail fence. As night falls, witness the mood change as light reflects off the lake and stars sparkle in a clear country sky.
For the smaller wedding, there is an undercover deck beside the homestead pool. This caters for 36 seated or 50 standing guests and is a fabulous setting for canapés.
